SE-1 Electrocardiograph User Manual Safety Guidance

WARNING
4. The results given by the equipment should be examined based on the overall clinical
condition of the patient, and they can not substitute for regular checking.
5. This device is not intended for treatment.
6. EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the electrocardiograph in the presence of
flammable anesthetic mixtures with oxygen or other flammable agents.
7. SHOCK HAZARD - The power receptacle must be a hospital grade grounded outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet.
8. If the integrity of the external protective conductor is in doubt, the equipment should
be powered by a built-in rechargeable battery.
9. Do not use this equipment in the presence of high static electricity or high voltage
equipment which may generate sparks.
10. This equipment is not designed for direct cardiac application.
11. Only the patient cable and other accessories supplied by the manufacturer can be
used. Or else, the performance and electric shock protection cannot be guaranteed.
12. The use of patient cable and other accessories not supplied by the manufacturer may
result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.
13. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.
14. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting objects.
15. Electrodes with defibrillator protection should be used while defibrillating. To avoid a
polarization or DC offset voltage, use non-polarizing electrodes (which will not form a
DC offset voltage when subjected to a DC current) such as silver/silver-chloride types
if there is a situation where there is a likelihood that a defibrillation procedure will be
necessary.
16. There is no danger for patients to use pacemakers. However, if a pacemaker is used,
the results given by the equipment may be invalid, or lose the clinical significance.
17. Do not touch the patient, bed, table or the equipment while using the ECG together
with a defibrillator.
18. Do not touch accessible parts of electrical equipment and the patient simultaneously.
19. In order to avoid being burnt, please keep the electrodes far away from the radio knife
while using electrosurgical equipment.
