1.1.1 Warnings
WARNING
• The TM80 Telemetry Monitor is intended to be used for a single patient
at a time.
• The TM80 Telemetry Monitor must be operated by medical personnel in
hospitals.
• For continued safe use of the TM80 Telemetry Monitor, the instructions
given in this manual must be followed. But instructions in this manual in
no way supersede established medical procedures.
• To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the TM80 Telemetry Monitor in
the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or
other flammable agents.
• The TM80 Telemetry Monitor is not to be used in the vicinity of electro-
surgical units because such use may interrupt or interfere with the
transmission of signals from the TM80 Telemetry Monitor.
• Do not use the TM80 Telemetry Monitor in conjunction with Electro Sur-
gical Unit (ESU).
• Do not expose the equipment to a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environ-
ment.
◆ Thermal injury and burns may occur due to the metal components
of the equipment which can heat during MR scanning.
◆ The equipment may present a risk of projectile injury due to the
presence of ferromagnetic materials which can be attracted by the
MR magnet core.
◆ The leadwires and electrodes will generate artifacts in the MR
image.
◆ The equipment will not function properly due to the strong mag-
netic and radio frequency fields generated by the MR scanner.
• Before putting the TM80 Telemetry Monitor into operation, the operator
must verify that the equipment, connecting cables and accessories are
in correct working order and operating condition.
• Do not use patient cables or accessory cables and sensors if prior visual
inspection reveals cable damage or the presence of liquid, lint or dust
inside.
• Do not come into contact with the patient during defibrillation. Other-
wise serious injury or death could result.
• Do not touch the patient and live parts simultaneously.
