Patient safety
The design of the medical device, the accompanying
documentation, and the labeling on the medical device are

that certain inherent characteristics of the medical device are
known to the trained user. Instructions and WARNING and
CAUTION statements are therefore largely limited to the

various hazards which are obvious to professionals who
operate this medical device as well as references to the

adverse effects in patients with different underlying diseases.
