General information

The anesthesia machines include a mechanical ventilator. All
mechanical ventilators are associated with potential complications
such as ventilator induced lung injury, hypoxia and hypercarbia.
Anesthesia delivery which exceeds or falls short of settings could
cause patient harm like awareness or excessive hemodynamic
changes. Users must abide by the intended use and the instructions
for use to make sure that the benefits of the Anesthesia machine's
use outweigh the inherent risks associated with the potential delivery
of anesthesia and ventilation modes used.
The device has no product-specific contraindications. It is the
responsibility of the user to select the appropriate treatment for the
patient's underlying disease. Patient status must be continuously
monitored for potential changes.
Note The device administers medical gases such as O2, N2O, or volatile
anesthetic agents. For contraindications to the applied medical
gases, strictly observe the instructions for use of the medical gas.
Dispose of the system, accessories, and packaging according to
local, state, or country disposal and recycling laws.
Dispose of this product and packaging according to facility disposal
practices and local environmental and waste disposal regulations.
Components and accessories of the system which have come into
direct or indirect contact with the patient may be bio-hazardous.
These parts should be disposed of according to facility guidelines for
bio-hazardous material.
This anesthesia system uses the Compact Breathing System (CBS).
This compact breathing system is removable and autoclavable.
Note The O2 cell is not autoclavable.
This anesthesia system is designed for expansion and upgrades, so
it is easy to add new technologies and ventilation capabilities without
investing in a new system.
