sive terms and conditions as set forth, whether based

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).

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 Dräger design. This publication excludes refe-
rences 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.
The operators of the ventilator system must recognize
their responsibility for choosing appropriate safety moni-
toring 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 perfor-
mance 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 (see also page 19, "Mandatory
Ventilation Monitoring").
WARNING !
Strictly follow this Operator's Instruction
Manual.
Any use of the product requires full under-
standing and strict observation of all portions
of these instructions. The equipment is only to
be used for the purpose specified under
"Intended Use" (page 18) and in conjunction
with appropriate airway monitoring (see page
19). Observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS
as rendered throughout this manual and on
labels on the equipment.
