Precautions
This equipment must only be used under the supervision of
qualified medical staff, so that if any faults or malfunctions
occur, help is available immediately.
This equipment must not be used with flammable gases
or anaesthetic agents. Danger of fire!
Do not use the apparatus in conjunction with nuclear
spin tomography (MRT, NMR, NMI).
The apparatus may malfunction, causing anger to the
patient.
Do not use the equipment in hyperbaric chambers.
The apparatus may malfunction, causing anger
to the patient.
Avoid pollutants in the ambient air.
Savina uses ambient air for ventilation.
Pollutants woul enter the patient’s bo y.
Interference with operation of the apparatus may be
caused by the use of high-frequency electrical surgical
equipment, defibrillators or short-wave treatment
equipment, thereby putting the patient at risk.
Do not use mobile phones within a distance of 10 metres
from the equipment.
Mobile phones can cause interference with electrical
an electronic me ical apparatus, thereby putting patients
at risk!*
* Dräger me ical equipment fulfils the interference resistance
requirements accor ing to the pro uct-specific stan ar s or
EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 601-1-2). However, epen ing on the esign
of the mobile phone an circumstances of use, fiel strengths may
occur in the imme iate environment of a mobile phone that excee
the limits of the above stan ar s an therefore cause interference.
The following points should be noted if ventilating while
travelling:
●Do not place Savina on the bed while travelling.
●Ensure the apparatus cannot fall or be knocked over.
●Protect the apparatus from splashes and rain, to
avoid risk of malfunction. Savina is not splashproof.
During transport conditions, e.g. in an aircraft, hoses may
start to vibrate and thus affect the flow measurement.
When using Savina in combination with other products or
during transport, the operator must secure the equipment
appropriately to comply with the relevant basic
requirements of Directive 93/42/EC.
Appropriate Monitoring
The built-in monitoring facilities of the Savina ensure
appropriate monitoring of ventilation therapy an therefore
etect any un esirable changes in the following ventilation
parameters:
— airway pressure, Paw
— expiratory minute volume, MV
— inspiratory O2 concentration, FiO2
— inspiratory breathing gas temperature, T
— apnoea
— tachypnoea monitoring
Changes in these parameters may be cause by:
— acute changes in the patient’s con ition
— incorrect settings an faulty han ling
— equipment malfunctions
— failure of power an gas supplies
In the event of a problem with the integrate monitoring:
●separate monitors must be use .
Back-up ventilation with an independent
manual ventilation device
If a fault is etecte in the Savina so that its life-support
functions are no longer assure :
●start ventilation using an in epen ent ventilation evice
without elay, if necessary with PEEP an /or increase
inspiratory O2 concentration (e.g. with the Dräger
Resutator 2000).
