8.1 Safety instructions
8.1.1 Alarms
Alarm volume
If the alarm volume is too low, alarm signals may not be heard. The patient may be
put at risk.
► Set the alarm volume loud enough so that the alarm signals can be heard in the
environment where the device is located.
► The user must remain within earshot of the alarm signals.
Recognizing alarm signals
If alarm signals are not noticed, the patient may be put at risk.
► Dräger recommends that the user remains in the vicinity of the anesthesia
machine, i.e. within a distance of up to 4 meters (12 feet). This facilitates fast
recognition and response in the event of an alarm.
► If the causes of the alarm are only temporary, the alarms will likewise only be
indicated temporarily.
Impaired Infinity ID functions
Electromagnetic disturbances or faults in Infinity ID components can cause
permanent alarms.
► Contact service personnel to deactivate the Infinity ID alarms.
8.1.2 Therapy and applications
Therapy with known pre-existing conditions
Volatile anesthetic agent may trigger malignant hyperthermia. As a result, the
patient could be put at risk.
► For patients suspected of malignant hyperthermia: Do not use any volatile
anesthetic agent or devices with residual concentrations of these gases above
5ppm.
For further information and recommendations for therapy settings for patients with
suspected malignant hyperthermia, contact the responsible national Dräger
organization. Further information is available on the following web page:

Under certain conditions, acetone can accumulate in the patient’s body during
anesthesia. As a result, the patient could be put at risk.
► Do not perform low-flow anesthesia on patients with ketoacidosis or patients
under the influence of alcohol.
Unintentional start of therapy
If the device is in standby mode and the flow control valves on the mechanically
controlled gas mixer with electronic flow measurement are opened, the device will
exit standby mode and start the Man/Spon mode.
► Take care that this does not happen unintentionally.
