Using the MEDIBUS protocol
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
All data transferred through the MEDIBUS interface is for
information only and must not be used as the sole basis for
diagnostic or therapeutic decisions.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Data transmitted over the MEDIBUS interface is not
intended for a distributed alarm system (in the sense of
remote monitoring) according to the applicable standards
("Relevant standards" on page 18). They are for information
only and must not be used as the sole basis for diagnostic
or therapeutic decisions.
Carry out further diagnostic measures.
NOTE
The RS-232 port is used to establish a point-to-point connection.
Unauthorized access to the device can impair the device func-
tion.
–
Unauthorized persons must not have access to the data sent
via the RS-232 port.
–
All device interfaces must be protected against malware and
computer viruses.
–
If commercially available RS-232-to-Ethernet converters are
used, the operating organization is responsible for the use
and correctness of the data.

Product-specific safety information
WARNING
Risk of fire
To avoid a fire hazard, do not introduce drugs or other sub-
stances based on flammable solvents, such as alcohol, into
the device and do not use explosive anesthetic agents such
as ether or cyclopropane or spray them into the device. If
highly flammable substances are used for disinfection, ade-
quate ventilation is required.

WARNING
Risk of malfunction
Modifications to the medical device may lead to malfunc-
tions.
WARNING
Risk of insufficient oxygen supply
The sample flow diverted by the gas monitor may reduce
the breathing system volume in case of low-flow anesthe-
sia.
Compensate either by increasing the fresh-gas flow of the
anesthesia machine accordingly or by returning the sample
gas to the breathing system.
In some anesthesia systems the sample flow may influence
the measurement of the expiratory minute volume.
WARNING
Risk due to inaccurate gas measurement values
The use of a sample line other than specified or provided by
the manufacturer and with an incorrect length and/or diam-
eter may lead to erroneous agent concentration readings
and waveforms or watertrap/sample line alarms.
Never use standard pressure-sensor tubing or IV lines
because these can absorb anesthetic agents, which are
released later (degassing) resulting in erroneous agent
concentration readings.
CAUTION
Risk of wrong measured oxygen value
Do not use oxygen concentrators in minimal or low flow anesthe-
sia.
CAUTION
Risk of gas measurement failure
To prevent damage to the gas measurement, especially during
cleaning and disinfection, always keep the water trap installed.
Further information
Mandatory reporting of incidents
Serious incidents with this product must be reported to Dräger and
the responsible authorities.
Training
Training for users is available via the Dräger organization respon-
sible (see www.draeger.com).
Essential performance
The essential performance consists in:
–
Accuracy of gas measurement
If the accuracy of gas measurement is not fulfilled, the device
transmits status information with the purpose of generating a tech-
nical alarm on the patient monitor.
