• A printer or computer must be supplied from an additional transformer providing at least
basic isolation (isolating or separating transformer).
• If you accidentally drop the monitor, modules or frames, have them checked by
authorized service personnel prior to clinical use.
• To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the monitor in presence of flammable anesthetics.
The monitor measures only non-flammable anesthetics.
• Do not touch the patient, table, instruments, modules or the monitor during defibrillation.
Laser radiation
• When using the ARK Barcode Reader, N-SCAN, do not stare into the beam. The N-SCAN is
a Class 2 laser product.
External connection
• Do not connect any external devices to the monitor other than those specified.
Fuse replacement
• Replace a fuse only with one of the same type and rating.
Explosion hazard
• To avoid explosion hazard do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
Patient safety
• Do not perform any testing or maintenance on the monitor while it is being used on a
patient.
• PACEMAKER PATIENTS: The impedance respiration measurement may cause rate
changes in Minute Ventilation Rate Responsive Pacemakers. In this case, set the
pacemaker rate responsive mode off or turn the monitor impedance respiration
measurement off.
• Never install the monitor so that it is above the patient.
• The monitor must not be used without manufacturer approved mounting attached.
• Operation of the monitor outside the specified values may cause inaccurate results.
Cleaning and service
• Only trained personnel with proper tools and test equipment should perform the tests
and repairs described in this manual. Unauthorized service may void the monitor
warranty.
• Always unplug the monitor before cleaning or service. After cleaning or service ensure
that every part of the monitor is dry before reconnecting it to the power supply.
• Do not touch any exposed wire or conductive surface while any cover is removed and the
monitor is energized. The voltages present can cause injury or death.
• Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warning symbol should not be touched.
Connections should not be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary
procedures are used. For details, see section “1.2.2. ESD precautionary procedures”.
• Always perform an electrical safety check and a leakage current test on the monitor after
service.
