clinicians must take direct responsibility for the patient’s life. This can include
care-givers or medically trained interpreters who are authorised under the
appropriate clinical facility procedures to support patient care. Any
inappropriate setting, can lead to a hazardous situation that injures, harms or
threatens the patient’s life. This equipment should only be operated by trained
