1 - 4 TM80 Telemetry Monitor Operator’s Manual
WARNING
• Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future upgrades
must be carried out by trained and authorized personnel.
• Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitor-
ing. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to
the patient. Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
• The physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the TM80
Telemetry Monitor are for reference only and cannot be directly used for
diagnostic interpretation.
• PATIENTS WITH A PACEMAKER – On ventricular paced patients, episodes
of ventricular tachycardia may not always be detected. Do not rely
entirely upon the system’s automated arrhythmia detection algorithm.
Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
• Do not operate the touch screen with wet hand.
• Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual.
• Route, wrap and secure the cables to avoid inadvertent disconnection,
stumbling and entanglement.
• Instruct patients not to interact with the display of the TM80 Telemetry
Monitor and not to open the battery compartment while the TM80
Telemetry Monitor is in use.
• The TM80 Telemetry Monitor should not be used for primary monitoring
in applications where momentary loss of the ECG is unacceptable at the
Central Monitoring System.
• We recommend that the WPA2-PSK or WPA2 CCKM security mode be
used when the TM80 Telemetry Monitor is in use.
• Auditory alarm signal sound pressure levels that are less than ambient
levels can impede operator recognition of alarm conditions.
