information
2.1 Intended
use
This device is intended for use in anesthetizing adults, pediatric patients, and
neonates. The device can be used for mechanical ventilation, manual ventilation,
pressure-supported spontaneous breathing, and spontaneous breathing.
The device is equipped with the following basic functions:
– Ventilation monitoring
– Inspiratory O
2
measurement
– Device monitoring
– Anesthetic gas receiving system
The following options are additionally available:
– Patient-gas measurement module for O
2
, CO
2
, N

O, and anesthetic gases
– O
2
insufflation
Anesthesia is achieved through a mixture of pure oxygen and Air (medical
compressed air) or pure oxygen and nitrous oxide, with the addition of volatile
anesthetic agents.
Ventilation is accomplished on the patient through a laryngeal mask, a breathing
mask, or an endotracheal tube.
The integrated breathing system can be used with partial rebreathing (low-flow or
minimum-flow).
A non-rebreathing system, such as the Bain, Mapleson, Kuhn, or Waters system,
may be used at the external fresh-gas outlet.
2.2 Indications
The device is specified for inhalational anesthesia and/or patient ventilation in
accordance with the intended use during surgical or diagnostic interventions.
2.3 Contraindications
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. The patient's condition must be continually monitored for any
potential changes.
The safety information must be followed for patients suspected of malignant
hyperthermia, patients with ketoacidosis, and patients who are under the influence
of alcohol. Observe the following information: "Therapy and applications", page 89.
The device administers medical gases such as O
2
, N
2
O, Air (medical
compressed air), and volatile anesthetic agents (halothane, enflurane, isoflurane,
sevoflurane, desflurane). For contraindications to the applied medical gases, strictly
follow the instructions for use of the medical gases.
