Safety Information
Operator’s Manual 3
WARNING:
Always disconnect and remove the monitoring system and sensors during
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Attempting to use the
monitoring system during an MRI procedure could cause burns or adversely
affect the MRI image or the monitoring system's accuracy.
WARNING:
The monitoring system is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment.
It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
WARNING:
The measured values of the monitoring system can be affected by patient
conditions, excessive patient movement, sensors, environmental conditions,
and nearby electromagnetic external conditions.
WARNING:
The monitoring system is intended for use in a hospital or hospital-type
environment by trained medical personnel.
WARNING:
Failure to cover the pulse oximetry sensor site with opaque material in high
ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements. Pulse
oximetry readings and pulse signals can be affected by certain environmental
conditions, pulse oximetry sensor application errors, and certain patient
conditions. Refer to the appropriate sections of this manual for specific safety
information.
WARNING:
The monitoring system is not defibrillator-proof. It may remain attached to
the patient during defibrillation or during use of an electrosurgical unit;
readings may be inaccurate during defibrillation and shortly thereafter.
WARNING:
The monitoring system may retain trend data from multiple patients if
transferring the monitoring system from one patient to another.
