13 Monitoring Respiration
13.1 Resp Safety Information
• The respiration measurement does not recognize the cause of apneas. It only
indicates an alarm if no breath is detected when a pre-adjusted time has
elapsed since the last detected breath. Therefore, it cannot be used for
diagnostic purpose.
• If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard IEC 60601-1-2
(Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths above 3V/m may cause erroneous
measurements at various frequencies. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid
the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the
respiration measurement unit.
• Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual.
• Respiration monitoring is not for use on the patients who are very active, as
this will cause false alarms.
