CAUTION
DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS — Patient signal inputs
labeled with the CF and BF symbols with paddles are protected
against damage resulting from defibrillation voltages. To ensure
proper defibrillator protection, use only the recommended cables
and leadwires.
Proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes
is required to ensure successful defibrillation.
CAUTION
DELAY IN LEAD DETECTION— When using a 3-leadwire set,
there may be up to a 10 second delay in detection of the ECG
waveform. A Leads Fail or No Telem alarm may be temporarily
displayed.
Wait for 10 seconds the ECG waveforms will be displayed.
CAUTION
DISPOSABLES — Disposable devices are intended for single use
only. They should not be reused as performance could degrade or
contamination could occur.
CAUTION

CAUTION
ELECTROCAUTERY PRECAUTIONS — To prevent unwanted
skin burns, apply electrocautery electrodes as far as possible from all
other electrodes, a distance of at least 15 cm/6 in. is recommended.
CAUTION
FALSE ALARMS—If clinical workflow includes pre-admitting
telemetry transmitters, attach ECG leadwires to patient prior to
attaching ECG leadwires to transmitter. Failure to follow this
sequence may result in false alarms or interruption in ECG
waveform.
