Cautions Introduction
CAUTION: Do not autoclave any parts of the A7 unless specifically identified as
autoclavable in this manual. Clean the A7 only as specified in this
manual.
CAUTION: To prevent system damage:
• Refer to the literature supplied by the manufacturer of the
cleaning agent.
• Never use organic, halogenated or petroleum-based solvents,
anesthetics, glass cleaning agents, acetone or other irritant
agents.
• Never use abrasive agents (i.e. steel wool or silver polish) to clean
components.
• Keep all liquids away from electronic components.
• Prevent liquid from entering the equipment.
• All cleaning solutions used must have a pH between 7.0 and 10.5.
CAUTION: Do not use acetic hydroperoxide or formaldehyde steaming.
CAUTION: The valve disc in each of the inhalation and exhalation valve assemblies
on the breathing system is fragile and must be handled with care while
removing the valve cage from the valve assembly.
CAUTION: If moisture remains in the bellows after cleaning, the bellows surface
folds may become tacky and prevent the bellows from properly
expanding. Ensure all moisture is removed from the bellows after
cleaning.
CAUTION: Only connect Mindray approved equipment to the A7 communication
ports. Equipment connected to the A7 ethernet ports must comply with
IEC 60950.
CAUTION: Do not connect any non-isolated devices to the DB9/RS232C interface
of the A7.
CAUTION: Do not connect any devices to the SB ports other than Mindray
approved USB storage devices and a supported USB mouse(See
“Networking and USB Storage” on page A-4.).
CAUTION: Do not autoclave the following components: Paw gauge, flow sensor,
and bellows. These components cannot withstand immersion or the
heat and pressure of autoclaving.
CAUTION: Users should monitor oxygen percentage (FiO
2
%) when using the
Auxiliary O
2
/Air Flow Meters. Unknown oxygen concentrations may be
delivered to the patient unless oxygen monitoring is used.
CAUTION: The A7 is NOT suitable for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
environment.
CAUTION: To ensure measurement accuracy and to avoid possible damage to the
A7, use only Mindray-approved cables and accessories.
CAUTION: Use the power cord provided with the product. If a substitute is
necessary, use only hospital grade power cords.
CAUTION: Do not use a damaged or broken unit or accessory. Periodically check
all cables (e.g., AC line cord and patient connection cables) for damage
that may occur through normal use. Replace cables if damaged in any
way.
