Instructions for Use Fabius MRI SW 3.n
11
For Your Safety and that of Your Patients
WARNING
Do not use conductive breathing hoses or
face masks.
They may cause burns during HF surgery.
WARNING
Any person involved with the setup, opera-
tion, or maintenance of the Fabius MRI anes-
thesia workstation must be thoroughly
familiar with this instruction manual.
WARNING
Do not use conductive breathing hoses or
face masks.
They may cause burns during HF surgery.
WARNING
This MR conditional anesthesia workstation
has been tested with magnets with field
strengths of 1.5 tesla and 3 tesla by a fringe
field strength of 40 mtesla (400 gauss). Use of
the machine with higher strengths could
result in ventilator and device malfunction.
Additionally, unmanageable attractive forces
could lead to serious injury.
WARNING
This anesthesia workstation will not respond
automatically to certain changes in patient
condition, operator error, or failure of compo-
nents. The anesthesia workstation has to be
operated under the constant supervision and
control of a qualified operator in order to pro-
vide immediate corrective action.
WARNING
No third-party components shall be attached
to the anesthesia machine, ventilator, or
breathing system (except for certain approved
components), otherwise the correct function-
ing of the medical device may be compro-
mised. For more information, contact
DrägerService or your local authorized ser-
vice organization.
WARNING
Each institution and user has a duty to inde-
pendently assess, based on its, his, or her
unique circumstances, what components to
include in an anesthesia system. However,
Dräger, in the interest of patient safety,
strongly recommends the use of an oxygen
analyzer, pressure monitor, volume monitor,
and end-tidal CO
2
monitor in the breathing cir-
cuit at all times.
WARNING
Always lock the caster brakes after the
Fabius MRI has been positioned in the MRI
scanner room. Magnetic attractive forces
between the magnet and the anesthesia
machine may cause unintentional movement
of the anesthesia machine if the casters are
unlocked.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Drugs or other substances based on inflam-
mable solvents, such as alcohol, must not be
introduced into the patient system.
Adequate ventilation must be ensured if
highly flammable substances are used for dis-
infection.
WARNING
Explosive anesthetics, such as ether or cyclo-
propane, must not be used due to the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Do not use conductive breathing hoses or
face masks.
They may cause burns during HF surgery.
WARNING
Do not apply unregulated suction to the
patient circuit when using this device.
