WARNING
8-2
The system should always be used with an oxygen
monitor, a CO2 monitor, an anesthetic agent monitor, and
an exhaled volume monitor. Refer to local standards for
mandatory monitoring requirements.
• Always make sure the pipeline supply hoses and the
breathing circuit components are not toxic and will not:
• Cause an allergic reaction in the patient.
• React with the anesthetic gases or agent to produce
dangerous by-products.
• Use only General Electric approved cables, hoses, and
tubing. Other manufacturer's cables, hoses, and tubing
could cause incorrect values or equipment malfunction.
• Do not exceed electrical interference levels specified in
IEC 60601-1-2. Electrical interference can cause
nuisance alarms that may stop mechanical ventilation.
This system operates correctly at the electrical
interference levels of IEC 60601-1-2.
• To help prevent false alarms from devices with high-
intensity electrical fields:
• Keep the electrosurgical leads away from the
breathing system, the flow sensors, and the oxygen
cell.
• Do not allow the electrosurgical leads to contact any
part of the anesthesia system.
• Do not use cell phones near the anesthesia system.
• To protect the patient when electrosurgical equipment is
used:
• Monitor the correct operation of all life support and
monitoring equipment.
• Keep backup manual ventilation available in case the
electrosurgical equipment prevents safe use of the
ventilator.
• Use only reservoir bags that comply with EN1820 or ISO
5362 on this system.
