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.
Pacemakers
Peripheral Devices
Electrosurgery
To support user and patient safety and to reduce electro-surgical unit (ESU)
interference, observe the following precautions during electrosugery.
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.
NOTE: See the section “Pacemakers” on page 8-3 for safety precautions when
monitoring paced patients.
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.
