14.2 Precautions
WARNING
z Use only the IBP transducer specified in this operation manual. Disposable IBP
transducers or domes should not be reused.
z Parts and accessories used must meet the safety requirements of the medical
electrical equipment standards.
z The need for the operator to avoid conductive connection to the applied part
likely to degrade safety. (For example, by not contacting metal cocks, if used.)
z When the monitor is used with high frequency surgical equipment, do not allow
the transducer and the cable contact the high frequency surgical equipment to
prevent the patient from burning caused by leakage current.
z Verify transducer cable fault detection before beginning to monitor. Unplug the
transducer cable from the IBP connector on the monitor. The screen will display
the error message “IBP SENSOR OFF” and an audible alarm will be heard.
The transducer (except for the ICT/B transducer) specified in this operation manual is able to
protect against electrical shock, especially the leakage current, and the interference of cardiac
defibrillation. It can be used in surgical operation. During defibrillation, the pressure waveform
might become temporarily distorted. However, the monitor returns to normal operation after the
defibrillation, with the operation mode and the user configuration being unaffected.
NOTE
z Periodically calibrate the transducer according to the Hospital Regulation.
