are known to the trained operator. Instructions,
warnings, and caution statements are limited,
therefore, to the specifics of the Draeger Medical, Inc.
design. This publication excludes references to
hazards which are obvious to a medical professional,
to the consequences of product misuse, and to
potentially adverse effects in patients with abnormal
conditions. Product modification or misuse can be
dangerous. Draeger Medical, Inc. disclaims all liability
for the consequences of product alterations or
modifications, as well as for the consequences which
might result from the combination of Draeger Medical,
Inc. products with products supplied by other
manufacturers if such a combination is not endorsed
by Draeger Medical, Inc.
The operator of the anesthesia system must recognize
that the means of monitoring and discovering
hazardous conditions are specific to the composition of
the system and the various components of the system.
It is the operator, and not the various manufacturers or
suppliers of components, who has control over the final
composition and arrangement of the anesthesia
system used in the operating room. Therefore, the
responsibility for choosing the appropriate safety
monitoring devices rests with the operator and user of
the equipment.

Not for Use in Areas of Explosion Hazard
The Fabius GS is neither approved nor certified for use
in areas where combustible or explosive gas mixtures
are likely to occur. To avoid explosion hazards,
flammable anaesthetic agents such as ether and
cyclopropane or other flammable substances must not
be used in this machine. Only anaesthetic agents that
comply with the requirements on non-flammable
anaesthetic agents in the IEC Standard, Particular
requirements for the safety of anaesthetic machine,
are suitable for use in this machine.
Safe Connection with Other Electrical
Equipment
Electrical connections to equipment which are not
listed in these Instructions for Use should only be
made following consultations with the respective
manufacturers or an expert and shall be in compliance
with national medical device regulations.
Operator’s Responsibility
The equipment design, 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
The Fabius GS is equipped to monitor breathing circuit
pressure, exhaled volume and inspired oxygen, and to
sound an alarm when any of these parameters violates
a preset limit. The Fabius GS should not be used if any
of these monitors are not functioning properly. Draeger
Medical, Inc. also recommends that the Fabius GS
only be used to deliver anesthesia and/or mechanical
ventilation in accordance with the guidelines for patient
monitoring published by the American Society of
Anesthesiologists. In addition to volume, pressure, and
oxygen monitoring, these guidelines require the use of
a capnometer to monitor inspired and expired carbon
dioxide as well as other patient monitors including
continuous electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and
arterial blood pressure monitoring. Anesthetic agent
monitoring and temperature monitoring are also
strongly recommended. The responsibility for the
selection of the best level of patient monitoring belongs
solely to the equipment operator. To this extent, the
manufacturer, Draeger Medical, Inc., disclaims
responsibility for the adequacy of the monitoring
package selected for use with the anesthesia system.
However, Draeger Medical, Inc. is available for
consultation to discuss monitoring options for different
applications.

Part Number: 4117102-007
General Warnings and Cautions
The following list of warnings and cautions apply to
general operation and maintenance of the
Fabius GS. Warnings and cautions about installing and
operating specific parts appear with those topics.
•A Warning statement gives important information
that, if ignored, could lead directly to personal
injury.
•A Caution statement gives important information
that, if ignored, could lead directly to equipment
damage and indirectly to personal injury.
Warning: Any person involved with the setup,
operation, or maintenance of the
Fabius GS anesthesia system must be
thoroughly familiar with this instruction
manual.
Warning: This anesthesia system will not respond
automatically to certain changes in patient
condition, operator error, or failure of
components. The system is designed to be
operated under the constant surveillance
and control of a qualified operator.
Warning: No third-party components shall be
attached to the anesthesia machine,
ventilator, or breathing system (except for
certain approved exceptions). For more
information, contact your local Authorized
Service Organization or DrägerService at:
DrägerService

Telford, PA 18969
Tel:(215) 721-5402
(800) 543-5047
Fax: (215) 721-5784
Warning: Each institution and user has a duty to
independently assess, based on its, his, or
her unique circumstances, what
components to include in an anesthesia
system. However, Draeger Medical, in the
interest of patient safety, strongly
recommends the use of an oxygen
analyzer, pressure monitor, volume
monitor, and end-tidal CO2 monitor in the
breathing circuit at all times.
Warning: When moving the anesthesia machine,
remove all monitors and equipment from
the top shelf and use only the machine
handles or push/pull bars. The anesthesia
machine should only be moved by people
who are physically capable of handling its
weight. Draeger Medical recommends that
two people move the anesthesia machine
to aid in maneuverability. Exercise special
care so that the machine does not tip
when moving up or down inclines, around
corners, and across thresholds (for
example, in door frames and elevators).
Do not attempt to pull the machine over
any hoses, cords, or other obstacles on
the floor.
Warning: Apply the caster brakes when the
anesthesia machine is in use.
Caution:Although the Fabius GS is designed to
minimize the effects of ambient radiofrequency interference, machine functions
may be adversely affected by the
operation of electrosurgical equipment or
short wave or microwave diathermy
equipment in the vicinity.
Caution:Communications with external equipment
may be temporarily affected by
electromagnetic interference due to the
use of electrosurgical equipment.
Caution:Do not place more than 40 pounds on top
of the Fabius GS monitor housing.
Caution:Never allow the battery to completely
discharge. If the battery does discharge
completely, recharge immediately.
Caution:Front GCX rails have a maximum
accessories weight load of 5 lb./2.3 kg,
extended out at 3 in./7.6 cm from the rail,
at any position on the rail.
Caution:Pressure Support ventilation is triggered
by the patient's spontaneous effort to
breath. Most anesthetic agents will cause
patients to have reduced ventilatory
responses to carbon dioxide and to
hypoxemia. Therefore, patient triggered
modes of ventilation may not produce
adequate ventilation. Additionally, the use
of neuromuscular blocking agents will
interfere with patient triggering.

Typical Fabius GS Configuration
Figure 1. Fabius GS Anesthesia Machine The Fabius GS Inhalation Anesthesia Machine is a
modular system consisting of a basic gas-delivery
module with a variety of components and
configuration designs to meet the requirements of
various anesthesia delivery applications.
The Dräger Vapor® anesthetic agent vaporizers (1 in
Figure 2) are used to enrich the fresh gas with a
precisely metered quantity of vapor from the liquid
anesthetic agent being used, i.e. Isoflurane,
Halothane, Enflurane, or Sevoflurane.
When using a third-party Desflurane vaporizer:
220 V MainsDevapor*
110 V MainsD-Tec*
* Devapor and D-Tec are available through your local Desflurane
representative.
®
Interlock System
(Optional)
The Fabius GS is configured for two vaporizers. An
interlock system is used to ensure only one vaporizer
can be used at a time.
Note that the selector lever (1 in Figure 3) is shown in
the center position. This ensures that both vaporizers
are in the locked position. Also, this is the
recommended position for the selector lever when
moving the Fabius GS.
Moving the selector lever away from the desired
vaporizer allows that vaporizer to be utilized and the
other to be locked out of use.
Chapter 2 - Configurations and ComponentsComponents
Selectatec
™*
(Optional)
The interlock system for the Selectatec is built into
the vaporizers. When a vaporizer is selected for use,
the interlocking index pins will protrude from the
sides of the vaporizer thereby not allowing the
neighboring vaporizer to be opened. For more
specific information on the Selectatec, refer to the
Selectatec Vaporizer’s instruction manual.
*Selectatec™ is a registered trademark of Datex-Ohmeda.
For the delivery of a metered flow of pure oxygen (for
example, delivery of oxygen through a nasal
cannula), an optional auxiliary oxygen flowmeter
(1 in Figure 4) can be mounted on the left side of the
flowmeter bank. This flowmeter can be used when
the machine is turned off. A zero stop prevents
damage to the flow control valve seat.
