Accutorr V Operating Instructions 0070-10-0699-02 vii
Cautions Introduction
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. 
Replace only with the same or equivalent type 
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used 
batteries according to the manufacturers instructions and 
local regulations. Batteries used in this device may present a 
risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not incinerate 
battery, possible explosion may occur.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged or broken unit or accessory.
WARNING: Operation of the Accutorr V below the minimum amplitude 
or value of patient physiological signal may cause 
inaccurate results.
WARNING: Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those 
specified in the manual may result in increased 
Electromagnetic Emissions or decreased Electromagnetic 
Immunity of the Accutorr V. It can also cause delayed 
recovery after the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator.
WARNING: Perform the decontamination or cleaning process with the 
unit powered down and power cord removed.
WARNING: Use only authorized single use disposable probe covers 
when taking temperature measurements. Use of any other 
probe cover may result in erroneous readings or damage to 
the probe.
Cautions
CAUTION: Observe extreme caution when a defibrillator is in use. Do 
not touch any part of the patient, table, or monitor when a 
defibrillator is in use. The Accutorr V should not be used 
adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or 
stacked use is necessary, the Accutorr V should be observed 
to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it 
will be used.
CAUTION: The unit should be checked periodically for obstructed vents. 
If an obstruction is found, refer the unit to qualified service 
personnel.

accessories, and single use supplies in accordance with local 
regulations. Dispose of packaging waste in accordance with 
local regulations.
CAUTION: Wrapping the cuffs too tightly may cause a hazard to the 
patient.
