WARNING: If liquid is accidentally spilled on equipment, battery, or accessories, or 
they have been immersed in liquid, contact service personnel. Do not 
operate the equipment before it has been tested and approved for 
further use. 
WARNING: Do not disassemble, crush, heat above 100°C (212°F), or incinerate 
batteries or else fire, exposion or severe burn hazard could occur. 
Replace only with the Mindray P/N 0146-00-0091-01. See operator’s 
manual for safety instructions. Battery is not fully charged upon

your battery when it reaches the end of its service life. Failure to replace 
the battery may cause serious damage to your device from battery 
overheating.
WARNING: Keep batteries out of children's reach.
WARNING: Do not connect other equipment to the same MPSO (Multiple Portable 
Socket Outlets i.e. Multiple outlet extension cords) with the V 12/V 21, 
as it may increase system leakage current. Only use the MPSO to supply 
power to the equipment.
WARNING: Devices connected to the equipment must meet the requirements of 
the applicable IEC standards (e.g. IEC 60950 safety standards for 
information technology equipment and IEC 60601-1 safety standards 
for medical electrical equipment). The system configuration must meet 
the requirements of the IEC 60601-1 medical electrical systems 
standard. Any personnel who connect devices to the equipment’s 
signal input/output port is responsible for providing evidence that the 
safety certification of the devices has been performed in accordance to 
the IEC 60601-1. If you have any questions, please contact Mindray. 
WARNING: Use of the V 12/V 21 in the vicinity of explosive anesthetics and in the 
presence of electromagnetic interference or power overloads caused 
by electrosurgical or diathermy instruments could create a potential 
hazard or could damage the monitor.
WARNING: This device is NOT suitable for use in a magnetic resonance imaging 
(MRI) environment. 
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: This device is not intended for direct cardiac application.
