20.2 Safety Information
WARNING
1 Only connect one patient at the same time to the V-ICG module.
2 The sensors must not have a direct contact to other electrically conductive materials.
3 Because of hygienic reasons only disposable electrodes/sensors should be used.
4 Before monitoring patients with pacemakers, ensure that the function of the
pacemaker cannot be influenced by the measuring current used for impedance
cardiography. In the case of minute ventilation pacemakers the use of the V-ICG
module and ICG patient cable is not allowed if the minute ventilation function of the
pacemaker is activated.
5 The V-ICG module and ICG patient cable are not intended to be used while exposing
the patient to high frequency current.
6 Handle the ICG patient cable and lead wires carefully and position them so that they
do not cross over each other or other cables or power cords to avoid signal
interference.
7 Do not expose the cables to mechanic or thermic impact. Avoid temperatures above
40 °C (100 °F).
NOTE:
The ICG measurements are very sensitive measurements that measure very small
signals. Technological limitations don't allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for
radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by
RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted
disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore EDAN
recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity
of these measurements.
20.3 ICG Patient Cable
The patient cable for impedance cardiography contains a small box, which includes a cable
splitter for the two branches (right and left):
