SAFETY
Model 7600/7800 Operation Manual 7
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 nor audio alarms will be present.
5.4 MRI
The Model 7600/7800 should not be used within the magnetic field during Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
5.5 Pacemakers
WARNING – PACEMAKER PATIENTS: Rate meters might continue to count the pacemaker rate during
occurrences of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely on rate meter ALARM SIGNALS. Keep
pacemaker PATIENTS under close surveillance. See the SPECIFICATIONS section in this manual for disclosure of
the pacemaker pulse rejection capabilities of this instrument. AV sequential pacemaker pulse rejection has not been
evaluated; do not rely on pacemaker rejection with patients with dual chamber pacemakers.
5.6 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.
5.7 Defibrillation Protection
This equipment is protected up to 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. Use only Ivy specified accessories (see Accessories).
5.8 Signal Amplitude
WARNING: The minimum patient physiological “R-wave” signal amplitude is 0.5 mV.
The use of the Model 7600/7800, below the above amplitude value, may cause inaccurate results.
5.9 EMC
This equipment has been certified to be protected to emissions and immunity according to IEC-60601-1-2.
Electromagnetic Compatibility IEC 60601-1-2:2007
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.
CAUTION: Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
