WARNING
A WARNING statement provides important information about a po-
tentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
A CAUTION statement provides important information about a potenti-
ally hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury to the user or patient or in damage to the medical de-
vice or other property.
NOTE
A NOTE provides additional information intended to avoid inconvenien-
ce during operation.
WARNING
Risk of incorrect operation and of misuse
Any use of the medical device requires full understanding and
strict observation of all sections of these instructions for use.
The medical device must only be used for the purpose specified
under Intended use. Strictly observe all WARNING and CAUTION
statements throughout these instructions for use and all state-
ments on medical device labels.
Failure to observe these safety information statements consti-
tutes a use of the medical device that is inconsistent with its in-
tended use.
WARNING
To avoid contamination and soiling, keep the medical device
packaged until ready to be used. Do not use the medical device if
the packaging is damaged.
WARNING
Installation to the basic device must be in accordance with the in-
structions for use of the basic device on which this medical de-
vice is used. Make sure that the connection to the basic device
system is secure.
WARNING
No modification of the medical device is allowed. Modification
may damage or impair the proper functioning of the device which
may lead to patient injury.
CAUTION
The medical devices are not available individually. Only one copy of the
instructions for use is included in the clinical package and must there-
fore be kept in a location accessible for users.
CAUTION
Risk of malfunction
Obstructions, damage, and foreign matter can lead to malfunction.
Check all system components for obstructions, damage, and foreign
matter before installation.
NOTE
Select the appropriate breathing circuit according to the patient. Higher
resistance or compliance values might lead to an improper ventilation
and possible injury of the patient.
NOTE
The circuit diameter of 15 mm (0.59 inches) is specially designed for
pediatric patients.
Pediatric - pertaining to an individual weighing from 5 through 40 kg
(11 lbs and 88 lbs).

WARNING
Confirm that all connections are secure and free of leakages.
Perform a selftest of the basic device including a leakage test af-
ter the breathing circuit (hose, filter/HME, etc.) has been com-
pletely installed and before use on the patient.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
During installation position the breathing circuit so that the risk
of tripping or of stepping on the breathing circuit is minimized.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Make sure to install the breathing circuit without loops and kinks
as they may increase resistance.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If too much condensate accumulates, a partial or complete block-
age of the breathing circuit can occur.
Regularly check the breathing circuit for condensate and empty
if necessary.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Adding further components and using incompatible components
may increase inspiratory and expiratory resistance and adversely
affect the performance of the ventilator.
WARNING
Risk of fire
In combination with oxygen or nitrous oxide, ignition sources
such as electrosurgery and laser surgery devices can cause
fires. To protect patient and users, prevent leakages from hoses
carrying oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Before beginning electrosurgery or laser surgery, flush the vicin-
ity of gas-carrying parts (endotracheal tube, mask, Y-piece, hos-
es, filter, and breathing bag) sufficiently with air (<25 % O2); flush
beneath the surgical drapes as well.
WARNING
Risk of fire
In order not to damage the breathing circuit, keep a distance of at
least 200 mm (7.9 in) between hoses carrying oxygen or nitrous
oxide and a possible ignition source (e.g., electrosurgery or laser
surgery devices).
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
A Luer Lock connector must only be used for gas monitoring.
Any other use of the Luer Lock connector may endanger the pa-
tient.
NOTE
When not in use, the Luer Lock connector must be sealed with its cap.
