Like all electronic monitoring devices, internal and external components are subject
to fatigue, wear, and the potential for failure over time and under varying conditions
of use. Additionally, events such as dropping the monitor, spilling liquids on the
monitor, or crimping the lead wires or patient cables can cause damage which may
affect the overall system performance.
