Warm-Up; Site Of Operation - Dräger Infinity Series User Manual

Warm-Up

Upon start-up, the Scio module passes through an initialization
and warm-up period. During this time, concentrations for certain
gases may not be available and the anesthetic agent may not be
identified. Scio achieves full accuracy after a warm-up period of
about 5 minutes.
WA RN I N G : During warm-up, reported values may not
be accurate. Refer to the Technical Data appendix for a
detailed description of Scio accuracy.

Site of Operation

The site of operation must meet the temperature, humidity, and
atmospheric pressure requirements listed in the appendix Techni-
cal Data. In addition, observe the following guidelines:
Make sure that the platform which supports the module is
!
large enough, level, and stable.
Make sure that the fan exhaust screen at the rear of the mod-
!
ule and the ventilation holes on the underside are not
obstructed.
Place the module at least 25 cm (10 inches) away from any
!
possible source of ignition, such as sparking.
Place the module close enough to the patient so that the sam-
!
pling lines can reach the airway T-connector and the exhaust
tubing the hospital's exhaust gas scavenging system without
stretching.

Do not use mobile phones within 33 feet (10 m) of the
Scio module. Such phones may cause equipment mal-
function.
Do not expose the Scio module to mechanical vibra-
tions or shock during measurements. Mechanical vibra-
tions or shock can have adverse effects on measured
gas values.
The operation of the Scio module in magnetic reso-
nance imaging environments (MRI) is not supported.
Do not use a Scio module near devices with microwave
or other high-frequency emissions. These emissions
may interfere with the module's operation.
