A possible explosion hazard exists. Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
Do not mount any part of the device closer than 25 cm from outlets of flammable gases, including oxygen.
For proper operation and the safety of users or patients and bystanders, equipment and accessories must be
connected only as described in this manual.
Repairs and modification must be made by authorized and trained technical personnel. Unauthorized
modifications and repairs will void the Surveyor warranty and may pose a danger to patients and users.
If additional devices beyond Surveyor are connected to the patient, leakage currents through the patient might
add up and should be accounted for.
The Surveyor, as all medical equipment or systems, needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be
installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the installation procedure in order
to obtain a sufficient degree of immunity as well as not to create disturbance to other equipment. Refer to the
specific EMC instructions in this manual.
The quality of the signal produced by the device may be adversely affected by the use of other medical
equipment, including but not limited to electrosurgery and ultrasound machines. Do not use the system in the
presence of imaging equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tomography systems.
Simultaneous operation may damage the device or lead to erroneous results.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may affect medical electrical equipment or systems as
well as the Surveyor and its accessories. Do not operate the Surveyor near high frequency emissions (e.g.
microwaves).
Various alarm conditions require operator to adjust alarm configurations individualized according to patient
condition and demographics. Surveyor supports the selection of appropriate alarm profiles when a patient is
admitted. The operator should check these settings with each patient admission to ensure the alarm settings are
appropriate for the individual patient. Inappropriate alarm configuration settings may render the alarm system
useless.
Surveyor alarms can only be silenced and not reset. This means that visual representation of an alarm condition
remains present after an operator-silenced action until the alarm condition disappears (unless obscured by
another, higher level, alarm). The auditory alarm signal does not re-activate after a silence action if the alarm
condition remains the same. As soon as the alarm condition of a silenced alarm goes away, the alarm can be
reactivated. Always respond promptly to alarms.
A patient monitor is an addition to monitoring patient status and is not intended to replace clinical assessments
and clinical judgments. It is important that a qualified individual regularly supervise the patient.
In an environment where multiple systems, whether Surveyor and/or other systems, are utilized for monitoring
patients, use of different alarm presets on each system may pose a safety risk. Be careful in using different
alarm conditions on different systems.
Power Warnings
Only use the Mortara-provided external power adapter with the Surveyor. Ensure that the power adapter is
connected to a properly grounded power terminal and the electrical installation complies with local safety
requirements for the environment where it is used.
To ensure that electrical safety is maintained during operation from AC power, the Surveyor external power
adapter must be plugged into a hospital-grade outlet.
Where the integrity of external protective earth conductor arrangement is in doubt, the device shall be operated
from its internal battery power source.
Do not use the Surveyor power supply to power other devices, because of the risk of additional leakage currents
