WARNINGS
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.
The physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the equipment should be reviewed by a clinician
before being used for diagnostic interpretation and treatment.
To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap and
secure excess cabling to reduce risk of entanglement by patients or personnel.
Do not touch the equipment’s metal parts or connectors when in contact with the patient; otherwise patient
injury may result.
Never mix patient electrode types or brands. Dissimilar metals or other incompatibilities may cause
considerable baseline drift and may increase trace recovery time after defibrillation.
To reduce the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedure, ensure that the monitor’s cables
and transducers never come into contact with the electro-surgery unit (ESU).
The neutral electrode of the electro-surgery unit (ESU) shall properly contact the patient. Otherwise, burns
may result.
Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance of the equipment. For
this reason make sure that all external devices operated in the vicinity of the equipment comply with the
relevant EMC requirements. Mobile phone, X-ray equipment or MRI devices are a possible source of
interference as they may emit higher levels of electromagnetic radiation.
1.1.2 Cautions
CAUTIONS
Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual.
Disposable accessories are not designed to be reused. Reuse may cause a risk of contamination and affect
the measurement accuracy.
Always install or carry the equipment properly to avoid damage caused by drop, impact, strong vibration or
other mechanical force.
Dry the equipment immediately in case of rain or water spray.
Ensure that the patient monitor is supplied with continuous electric power during work. Sudden power
failure may lead to data loss.
This equipment is intended for single patient use.
Store and use the equipment in specified environmental condition. The monitor and accessories may not
meet the performance specification due to aging, stored or used outside the specified temperature and
humidity range.
