Using the Kosmos ECG patient cable
The Kosmos ECG patient cable connects to Kosmos Torso by means of
coupling magnets. Kosmos Torso contains a small permanent magnet
where the Kosmos ECG patient cable connects. Do not use KOSMOS on
patients with cardiac pacemakers or other electronic implantable
devices.
The Kosmos ECG patient cable connects to Kosmos Torso by means of
coupling magnets. The Kosmos ECG patient cable contains a small
permanent magnet at the device connector. Do not use KOSMOS on
patients with cardiac pacemakers or other electronic implantable
devices.
The Kosmos ECG patient cable is not defibrillation proof.
The KOSMOS ECG functionality is a Type BF. KOSMOS ECG functionality is
not for use in situations, such as patient monitoring, where the patient
has exposed leadwires that are in direct cardiac contact. Conductive parts
of electrodes and associated connectors for Type BF Applied Parts,
including the neutral electrode, should not contact other conductive
parts including earth.
KOSMOS may not accurately report heart rate in the case of irregular
rhythms.
KOSMOS is not a substitute for diagnostic ECG. This device does not
detect or measure all heart rate, heart rhythm, and heart waveform
changes.
Conducted RF energy may cause noise in the ECG waveform. If noise is
detected on the ECG waveform, disconnect KOSMOS from AC power.
