Use of ECG
Use of Defibrillator
Use of Electrosurgical Unit
This equipment provides no special means of protection from
high frequency (HF) burns that may result from using an
electrosurgical unit (ESU). To reduce the risk of HF burns,
avoid contact between the patient and ultrasound transducer
while operating the ESU. Where contact cannot be avoided, as
in the case of TEE monitoring during surgery, make sure the
transducer is not located between the ESU active and
dispersive electrodes and keep the ESU cables away from the
transducer cable.
CAUTION
Do not use the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 Ultrasound system ECG wave
for diagnosis and monitoring.
CAUTION
Do not use the Vivid S5/Vivid S6 Ultrasound system with
Defibrillator. This equipment does not have defibrillator-
approved applied parts.
CAUTION
Remove the TEE probe from the patient when defibrillators are
used.
CAUTION
To avoid skin burns in surgical use, do not place ECG electrodes
in current path between Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) active and
dispersive electrodes. Keep ESU cables away from ECG leads.
