Dräger recommends that:
Maintenance, modifications, and repairs are carried out by trained personnel.
Components are replaced with Dräger provided spare parts, otherwise the
correct functioning of the device may be compromised.
Devices are used in accordance with Dräger Instructions for Use.
General Electrical Safety
WARNING:
To protect the patient from possible injury due to
electrical shock:
Before putting a patient monitor into use, the installer
must verify that its leakage current meets the electrical
safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-1
(the safety standards for Medical Electrical Systems).
Connecting several medical devices to a patient
simultaneously increases the leakage current to which
that patient is exposed. Peripheral devices should only
be connected to a patient monitor within the same
room.
The installer or service provider should verify that the
interconnected system’s leakage currents meet the
electrical safety requirements mentioned above. The
installer or service provider should also verify that the
electrical safety classification of each device is
suitable for the intended application.
To avoid electric shock, inspect all cables before use.
Never use cables that appear cracked, worn, or
damaged in any way (doing so may compromise
performance or put the patient at risk).
To ensure that the device is properly grounded,
connect the AC adapter, communication power supply
module, and IDS power supply to a hospital-grade
outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid injuring the patient, do not touch any connector or mounting
screw on the device when you are touching the patient. Do not allow the conductive
parts of electrodes and cables to ever contact other conductive parts or ground, either.
NOTE:The potential equalization terminal can help ensure that a voltage difference
does not exist between multiple pieces of equipment.

INFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
Defibrillator Precautions
The monitor and peripheral devices are protected against high-frequency interference
from defibrillators and electrosurgical units and against 50- and 60-Hz power line
interference. Following defibrillation, the monitor begins displaying waveform data
again within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and those electrodes are
applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION:
Only defibrillate across the chest.
To avoid potentially re-routing electrical current through electrodes, thus
causing burns and electric shock, do not position the defibrillator pads near
any electrodes or sensors.
To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG
information, and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG
electrodes and cables specified by Dräger.
Pacemakers
NOTE:See the section “Pacemakers” on page 8-3 for safety precautions when
monitoring paced patients.
Peripheral Devices
NOTE:See the section “Precautions” on page 28-5 for safety precautions when using
a Medical Information Bus (MIB) protocol device or the Independent Surgical Display.
WARNING: Electrical connections to equipment which is not
listed in these Instructions for Use should only be made
following consultation with the respective manufacturer.
Electrosurgery
To support user and patient safety and to reduce electro-surgical unit (ESU)
interference, observe the following precautions during electrosugery.
VF8DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA11
I
NFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
WARNING:
The NeoMed and MultiMed 12 pods are not intended for
use during electrosurgery. To protect patients from
burns, do not use these pods in an ESU environment.
For better performance and to reduce the hazard of
burns during surgery, always use accessories designed
for ESU environments.
To reduce the hazard of burns during surgery, keep the
sensor or transducer (ECG, temperature, pressure,
SpO
, BISx) and their associated cables away from the
2
surgical site, the electro-surgical unit return electrode,
and earth ground.
Always use a Dräger ESU block or MultiMed Plus OR
cable with compatible lead wires. Doing so reduces
ESU interference and protects the patient from burns
caused by ESU-induced current flowing through the
lead wires. For better performance, also set the ECG filter option to ESU.
Dräger recommends using the ESU block during
electrosurgery. If you do not have an ESU block or a
MultiMed Plus OR, use only Dräger blue ECG lead sets.
They help protect the patient from burns caused by
ESU-induced current flowing through the leads.
While the ESU block or the MultiMed Plus OR cable are
in use, impedance respiration monitoring is inoperative
and the detection of pacemaker spikes is degraded. If
pacemaker detection is enabled, the ESU interference
may be detected as pacemaker spike.
Dräger recommends the use of the MultiMed Plus OR
during electrosurgery only.
Do not use the MultiMed Plus OR cable with Dräger blue
ECG lead wires. Doing so, will degrade performance
which can result in inaccurate values.
NOTE:
Use SpO
Use rectal temperature probe sheaths to cover internally placed temperature
instead of the ECG parameter to determine heart rate.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
The monitor has been designed and tested for compliance with current regulatory
standards (IEC 60601-1-2 and CISPR 11 Class B) regarding its capacity to reduce
electromagnetic emissions (EMI) and to block EMI from external sources.
Dräger recommends these procedures to reduce electromagnetic interference:
Use only Dräger provided accessories, otherwise the correct functioning of
the device may be compromised (see appendix C).
Ensure that other products in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas
comply to accepted emissions standards (CISPR 11, Class B).
Maximize distance between electro medical devices. High-power devices
relating to electrocautery, electrosurgery, and radiation (X-ray), as well as
electrical stimulators and evoked potential devices, may produce interference
on the monitor.
Strictly limit access to portable radio-frequency sources (e.g., cellular phones
and radio transmitters). Portable phones may periodically transmit even when
in standby mode.
Maintain good cable management. Avoid routing cables over electrical
equipment. Do not intertwine cables.
Ensure electrical maintenance is done by qualified personnel.
