WARNING
Risk due to incompatible accessories
Dräger has only tested the compatibility of
accessories that appear in the current list of
accessories or in separate declarations by
Dräger. If other, incompatible accessories are
used, there is a risk of patient injury due to
medical device failure.
Dräger recommends using the medical device
only with accessories from the current list of
accessories.
WARNING

WARNING
Risk of operating errors and incorrect use
Strictly follow the instructions for use of all
accessory parts.
WARNING
Risk of device malfunction
Electromagnetic fields such as those
produced, e.g., by mobile phones, high-
frequency electrosurgical equipment,
defibrillators, or short-wave therapy
equipment may impair the functional integrity
of the medical device.
Only use these devices with an adequate
safety clearance. For mobile phones, observe
the safety clearances for portable and mobile
high-frequency communication equipment on

CAUTION
Risk of device malfunction
Do not block or cover the fan of the medical
device.
The fan must always be able to draw in sufficient
air. Otherwise overheating of the medical device
may result.
CAUTION
Risk of falling down
To avoid injury, place the medical device on a
secure, even surface or use optionally available
brackets from Dräger.
CAUTION
Tripping hazard
Improperly run sample lines, cables, and similar
device components may represent a hazard.
Proceed with particular care when positioning

Gas measurement
The measurement is performed in the side
stream and under STPD conditions.
The response time of the measurement system
and the sample gas flow influence the gas mea-
surement. The specified accuracies refer to an
endtidal gas concentration.
For CO2, the data for a respiratory rate of 1 to
40 /min with an I:E ratio of 1:1 and for a respira-
tory rate of 1 to 75 /min with an I:E ratio of 1:2
apply.
For N2O and anesthetic gases, the data for a
respiratory rate of 1 to 60 /min with an I:E ratio
of 1:2 apply.
The influence of respiratory rate and I:E ratio on
the accuracy has been determined in a simu-
lated breathing system by means of rectangular
waveforms for the measured gas concentra-
tions.
The endtidal gas concentration is the value
measured at the time of maximum CO2 concen-
tration in the expiratory phase.
Sensor sampling rate <50 ms
Rate of updating CO2 real-time waveform 90 ms
Sample gas flow 200 mL/min ±20 mL/min
Gas leakage <10 mL/min
Maximum time until emptying of the water 41 hrs. (sample gas under BTPS conditions,
trap is necessary ambient air 23 °C)
The system response time arises from the <4.5 s
delay time and the T10...90 response time
specific to the gas type.
Time until the specified accuracy is reached <7 min

Time until CO2 measurements are displayed <2 min
