NOTE:
These Operating Instructions describe the maximum
level of options available for Vamos.
Depending on the chosen configuration, the monitor may
be supplied either without SpO
2
measurement or without
the capability of measuring N
2
O and anesthetic gas or
without the battery option.
CAUTION !
(USA only) Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on
the order of a physician.
WARNING !
The Vamos anesthetic gas monitor must only be used
under the supervision of qualified medical personnel in
order to provide immediate corrective action in case of a
malfunction.
WARNING !
DANGER, risk of explosion if used in the presence of
flammable gases or anesthetics.
This device is neither approved nor certified for use in
areas where combustible or explosive gas mixtures are
likely.
WARNING !
Do not use in conjunction with nuclear spin tomography
(MRT, NMR, or NMI)!
Equipment malfunction may result.
WARNING !
Do not use mobile phones within 33 feet (10 m) of the
equipment.
Mobile phones may cause failure in electromedical equip-
ment

The Vamos monitor complies with the noise immunity requirements
of product-specific standards and of EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 601-1-2).
However, depending on the type of mobile telephone and the
situation where it is used, field strengths exceeding the values
specified in these standards may be generated and can therefore
lead to interference.
