General safety information
The following safety information has been added:
Accessories in sterile packaging
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special
precautionary measures concerning
electromagnetic compatibility. During installation
and before initial operation, follow the information
in section: "EMC declaration" (page 46).
This device can be affected by other electrical
devices.
CAUTION
Risk of medical device failure and patient injury
– Do not use accessories in sterile packaging if
the packaging has been opened, damaged,
or if there are other signs that the accessories
are not sterile.
– Reuse, reprocessing, and sterilization of
disposable products is not permitted.
WARNING
Risk due to electrostatic discharge
Malfunctions that endanger the patient may
occur if no protective measures against
electrostatic discharge are employed in the
following situations:
– When touching the pins of connectors
that carry the ESD warning symbol.
– When establishing connections with these
connectors.
To prevent malfunctions, observe the
following measures and train the relevant
personnel:
– Observe the ESD protective measures.
Such measures may include wearing
antistatic clothing and shoes, touching a
potential equalization pin before and while
making the connection, or using
electrically insulating and antistatic
gloves.
– Observe the requirements for the
electromagnetic environment. Observe
the following section: "Electromagnetic
environment" (page 46).

Operation
Operation
Ventilation
The following chapters have been added or have changed:
Interdependency between the control
elements
Some settable parameters may be limited or
mutually restrict one another, so that certain
combinations of therapy settings are not possible,
e.g., VT and Freq in the Volume Control
ventilation mode.
If a condition is reached in which a parameter can
no longer be changed, the restricting parameter
must first be adjusted. This will enable the
adjustment of the restricted parameter.
External fresh-gas outlet with switch
and ventilator lock (option)
When the switch of the external fresh-gas outlet is
set to operation with a non-rebreathing system
, the ventilator lock prevents a controlled
ventilation mode (Volume Control, Pressure
Control, Pressure Support, SIMV/PS) from being
started.
The following alarms are issued:
From software version 3.37:
–VENTILATOR FAIL !!!
–CHECK APL / EXT. FGO !!!
With older software versions:
–VENTILATOR FAIL !!!
–CHECK APL VALVE !!!
1Set the switch of the external fresh-gas outlet
to COSY.
The function of the ventilator lock is only available
with the “External fresh-gas outlet with switch and
ventilator lock” option.
This function is not available on older versions of
the external fresh-gas outlet with switch.
Ventilation mode ManSpont
The following information has been added:
For ventilation in the ManSpont ventilation mode,
use a tight-fitting mask or a tube.
CAUTION
Risk of undetected fresh-gas deficiency
When the switch of the external fresh-gas outlet
is set to operation with a non-rebreathing system
[ ], no alarm occurs at the start of the
ManSpont ventilation mode.
Check that the switch of the external fresh-gas
outlet has been set to COSY.

Safety functions of the ventilator
Behavior of Fabius if the user does not
take any action
The following safety information has changed:
WARNING
Risk of patient regaining consciousness or
risk of hypoxia
If the gas supply fails, further operation of the
anesthesia machine takes place with ambient
air. Oxygen and anesthetic gas are no longer
delivered. Due to the patient’s rebreathing,
the inspiratory concentration of anesthetic
gases and oxygen in the breathing gas falls.
Monitor the gas concentrations carefully and
use intravenous anesthetic agents if
necessary.
