The clinical operator should ensure that the summation of leakage currents does not exceed the
safety limits when several items of the device are interconnected.
Hazards may be caused by the operation of a cardiac pacemaker or other electrical stimulators with
the patient monitor.
To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap
and secure excess cable length to avoid risk of entanglement or strangulation to the patient or
personnel.
During defibrillation, the ECG cable connected to the patient may get damaged. Before reusing such
cables, inspect any damage. A scheduled preventive inspection is also needed.
If the ECG electrode is correctly placed but the ECG waveform is still inaccurate, replace the leads.
To protect the environment, recycle and dispose of used electrode patches appropriately.
When noise, artifact or various physiological manifestations occurs on an ECG signal, the monitor
would activate an alarm condition of “ECG Noisy”.
Do not rely entirely upon a heart rate alarm condition.
The device can give prompts of an abnormal status arising from excessive polarization voltage of an
ECG electrode. For detailed information, please refer to Appendix III.
