SAFETY
Patient Connections
Patient connections are electrically isolated. For all connections use isolated probes. Don’t let patient connections
contact other conductive parts, including ground. See instructions for patient connections in this manual.
Carefully route patient cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Leakage current is limited internally by this monitor to less than 10 µA. However, always consider cumulative
leakage current that can be caused by other equipment used on the patient at the same time as this monitor.
To ensure that the leakage current protection remains within the specifications, use only the patient cables specified
in this manual. This monitor is supplied with protected lead wires. Do not use cables and leads with unprotected
lead wires having exposed conductors at the cable end. Unprotected lead wires and cables may pose an
unreasonable risk of adverse health consequences or death.
Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac waveforms and thus inhibit heart rate alarms. To
minimize this problem, ensure proper electrode placement and cable arrangement.
If an alarm condition occurs while the alarms are set to off, neither visual or audio alarms will be present.
MRI
The model 3000 Series should not be used within the magnetic field during Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Pacemakers
Rate meters might continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias.
Do not rely on rate meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
Electrosurgery Protection
This equipment is protected against electrosurgery potentials. To avoid the potential of electrosurgery burns at
monitoring sites, ensure proper connection of the electrosurgery return circuit as described by the manufacturer’s
instructions. If improperly connected, some electrosurgery units might allow energy to return through the ECG
electrodes.
Defibrillation Protection
This equipment is protected against 360 J defibrillator discharge.. The monitor is internally protected to limit
current through the electrodes to prevent injury to the patient and damage to the equipment as long as the
defibrillator is used in conformance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
EMC
This equipment has been certified to be protected to emissions and immunity according to IEC-60601-1-2.
Electromagnetic Compatibility IEC 60601-1-2:2001
CAUTION: Medical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in the Operation Manual.
