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.
â—† Thermal injury and burns may occur due to the metal components
of the equipment which can heat during MR scanning.
â—† 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.
â—† The leadwires and electrodes will generate artifacts in the MR
image.
â—† 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.
