1.1.2 Cautions
CAUTION
• Do not let the display of the TM80 Telemetry Monitor directly touch the
patient’s skin when the display is on.
• When the Central Monitoring System (hereinafter called CMS) presents
the alarm “Offline”, the settings being performed on the TM80 Teleme-
try Monitor may not be transferred to the CMS. Check the patient condi-
tion and the settings on the CMS.
• When disposing of the packaging material, be sure to observe the appli-
cable local waste control regulations and keep it out of children’s reach.
• After the configurations, such as the patient category, paced status, are
changed at the TM80 Telemetry Monitor, the medical personnel should
check those configurations at the CMS to make sure both of the configu-
rations are consistent.
• The patient should be required to move in a specified area. If the patient
is at the edge of or outside the network coverage range, unstable net-
work connection may compromise the monitoring performance. The
patient’s location is of vital importance for the TM80 Telemetry Monitor.
If a life-threatening situation occurs for a patient, this patient must be
located and found by medical staff immediately.
• Mindray takes no responsibility for controlling the radio frequency envi-
ronment in a hospital. If interference for the operating frequency of
telemetry equipment exists, the telemetry equipment performance will
be affected. Exercise caution when selecting the operating frequency of
all the wireless equipment in a hospital as this is very important to avoid
mutual interference among them.
• Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper
performance of the TM80 Telemetry Monitor. For this reason make sure
that all external equipment operated in the vicinity of the TM80 Teleme-
try Monitor comply with the relevant EMC requirements. Mobile phone,
X-ray equipment, micro-wave oven, interphone, or MRI equipment are a
possible source of interference as they may emit higher levels of electro-
magnetic radiation.
• Always install or carry the TM80 Telemetry Monitor properly to avoid
damage caused by drop, impact, strong vibration or other mechanical
force.
• Dry the TM80 Telemetry Monitor immediately in case of rain or water
spray.
