Introduction

2028451-182B MAC™ 1600 1-5

WARNING

ELECTRODES — Polarizing electrodes (stainless steel

or silver constructed) may cause the electrodes to retain a

residual charge after defibrillation. A residual charge will

block acquisition of the ECG signal.

Whenever patient defibrillation is a possibility, use non-

polarizing (silver/silver chloride construction) electrodes

for ECG monitoring.

WARNING

MAGNETIC AND ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE —

Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering

with the proper performance of the device.

For this reason make sure that all external devices

operated in the vicinity of the device comply with the

relevant EMC requirements. X-ray equipment or MRI

devices are possible sources of interference as they may

emit higher levels of electromagnetic radiation.

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD — Do NOT use in the presence

of flammable anesthetics vapors or liquids.

WARNING

INTERPRETATION HAZARD — Computerized

interpretation is only significant when used in conjunction

with clinical findings.

A qualified physician must overread all computer-

generated tracings.
