WARNING: If the battery shows any signs of damage, leakage, or
cracking, it must be replaced immediately, by a qualifi ed service person,
and only with a battery approved by the manufacturer.
WARNING: The monitor is intended only as an adjunct in patient
assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical
signs and
symptoms.
WARNING: The measurement of vital signs can be affected by
patient conditions, motions, sensors, environmental condition and
electromagnetic external condition.
WARNING: It is possible that any radio frequency transmitting
equipment and other sources of electrical noise such as cellular
phones, due to close proximity or strength of a source, may result in
disruption of performance.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety, do not place the monitor in any
position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
WARNING: Disconnect the monitor and sensors during magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Use during MRI could cause burns
or adversely affect the MRI image or the monitor’s accuracy. Also, to
avoid burns, remove the sensors from the patient before conducting
MRI.
WARNING: During prolonged and continuous SpO2 monitoring, check
the sensor site at least once every 4 hours. Inspect the patient’s skin
integrity and circulation, and relocate the sensor if necessary. Tissue
damage can result from improper or prolonged sensor attachment.
WARNING: Do not lift the monitor by a sensor cable or a power cord
because the cable could disconnect from the monitor, causing the
monitor to drop on the patient.
WARNING: The unit may not operate effectively on patients who are
experiencing convulsions or tremors.
WARNING: Do not connect more than one patient to the monitor.
CAUTION: U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
CAUTION: Exercise care for the safe and effective use of Smartsigns
®
Compact 300 monitor. Inaccurate data may be measured if operated
or stored at conditions outside the stated ranges, or subjected to
excessive shock or dropping.
CAUTION: Grounding reliability can only be achieved when equipment
is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked ‘Hospital Only’ or
‘Hospital Grade’.
CAUTION: The accuracy of the monitor may degrade if the monitor is
connected to secondary I/O devices when the monitor is not connected
to earth reference.
CAUTION: Never place fl uids on the monitor. In case of fl uid spilling on
the monitor, disconnect power cord, wipe clean immediately and have
the monitor serviced to ensure that no hazard exists.
