2.2.3

Safety instructions during use

◗
The S5 System must only be operated and maintained by trained and qualified personnel.
◗
When in operation, the S5 System must be monitored at all times. Non-compliance with this duty
may result in danger to the patient's health! The safety features of the S5 System (alarm signals etc.)
are intended to assist the user and do not free him from his responsibility to monitor the equipment
continuously and conscientiously.
◗
A cardiopulmonary bypass requires comprehensive monitoring of both the patient and the perfusion
status. For this reason, all relevant values which are not recorded directly on the S5 System must be
monitored externally.
◗
Medical conclusions must not be drawn from and interventions in the perfusion must not be carried
out on the basis of the displays which have been obtained from serial data.
◗
Carefully monitor the blood volume in the blood reservoir.
◗
All values from the entire system which have been determined or displayed must be checked for
plausibility. Pay attention to the pump parameters which are being used and the material and
diameter of the tubing.
