WARNING
It is important for the hospital or organization that employs this equipment to carry
out a reasonable service/maintenance plan. Neglect of this may result in machine
breakdown or injury of human health.
Never use combustible gas (e.g. anesthetic) or combustible liquid (e.g. ethanol)
around the analyzer. Otherwise, the risk of explosion may exist.
Contacting exposed electronic components while the equipment is attached to power
can cause personal injury from electric shock or damage to electronic components.
Power down before removing covers to access electronic components.
Connect the analyzer to a socket having sole fuse and protective switch. Do not use
the same fuse and protective switch with other equipment (e.g. life supporting
equipment). Otherwise, the equipment failure, over current or impulse current that
occurs at the startup moment may lead to tripping.
To prevent personal injury during the maintenance, keep your clothes, hairs and
hands from the moving parts, such as the sample probe.
Possible mechanical movement of the warned position may lead to personal injury
during normal operation, removal, maintenance and verification.
