Important Safety Information
Operator's Responsibility for Patient Safety
For correct and effective use of the product and in order to
avoid hazards it is mandatory to carefully read and to
observe all portions of this manual.
The design of the equipment, the accompanying literature, and
the labeling on the equipment take into consideration that the
purchase and use of the equipment are restricted to trained
professionals, and that certain inherent characteristics of the
equipment are known to the trained operator. Instructions,
warnings, and caution statements are limited, therefore, largely
to the specifics of the Dräger design.
This publication excludes references to various hazards which
are obvious to a medical professional and operator of this
equipment, to the consequences of product misuse, and to
potentially adverse effects in patients with abnormal
conditions. Product modification or misuse can be dangerous.
Dräger disclaims all liability for the consequences of product
alterations or modifications, as well as for the consequences
which might result from the combination of this product with
other products whether supplied by Dräger or by other
manufacturers if such a combination is not endorsed by
Dräger.
Patient monitoring
The operators of the anesthesia system must recognize their
responsibility for choosing appropriate safety monitoring that
supplies adequate information on equipment performance and
patient condition. Patient safety may be achieved through a
wide variety of different means ranging from electronic
surveillance of equipment performance and patient condition
to simple, direct observation of clinical signs. The
responsibility for the selection of the best level of patient
monitoring lies solely with the equipment operator.
Limitation of Liability
Dräger's liability, whether arising out of or related to
manufacture and sale of the goods, their installation,
demonstration, sales representation, use, performance, or
otherwise, including any liability based upon Dräger's Product
Warranty, is subject to and limited to the exclusive terms and
conditions as set forth, whether based upon breach of
warranty or any other cause of action whatsoever, regardless
of any fault attributable to Dräger and regardless of the form of
action (including, without limitation, breach of warranty,
negligence, strict liability, or otherwise).
THE STATED EXPRESSED WARRANTlES ARE IN LlEU OF
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTlES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
Dräger shall not be liable for, nor shall buyer be entitled to
recover any special incidental, or consequential damages or
for any liability incurred by buyer to any third party in any way
arising out of or relating to the goods.
