Operator's Responsibility for Patient Safety
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 Draeger 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.
Draeger Medical Inc. disclaims all liability for the conse-
quences 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 Draeger
or by other manufacturers if such a combination is not
endorsed by Draeger Medical Inc.
Patient monitoring
The operators of the ventilator 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.
