EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use 2-31
Using the Monitor Safely
• Warning: MR-unsafe!
- Do not expose the device to a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
- The device may present a risk of projectile injury due to the presence of ferromagnetic
materials which can be attracted by the MR magnet core.
- Thermal injury and burns may occur due to the metal components of the device which can
heat during MR scanning.
- The device may generate artifacts in the MR image.
- The device may not function properly due to the strong magnetic and radio frequency fields
generated by the MR scanner.
• If multiple instruments are interconnected or if multiple instruments are connected to a patient,
the sum of the leakage currents may exceed the limits given in EN/IEC 60601-1. Consult your
service personnel to perform required testing before interconnecting instruments.
• Do not connect this monitor to any equipment or device, other than those specified in this guide.
• Sterilization is not recommended for this monitor, accessories or supplies, unless otherwise
indicated in the Instructions for Use that accompany the accessories and supplies.
• The ingress of particulate matter (solids) causes electrical circuit failure or failure of applied
parts. Periodically inspect for and clean dust from monitor vents and applied parts.
• Do not allow liquid to penetrate connector ports. Wet connectors could prevent connected
devices from operating. If you believe liquid may have entered the connector ports, verify the
performance and safety of the equipment before returning it to use.
• Use only Philips-approved accessories and sensors with the monitor. The use of unapproved
accessories and sensors can diminish monitor performance and/or safety. For a complete list
of compatible accessories, see Chapter 15, “Approved Accessories and Sensors.” Also, consult
the Instructions for Use that accompany the accessories.
• Electromagnetic interference may cause disruption of performance. Protect the monitor from
sources of intense electromagnetic radiation. This device is designed to provide resistance to
electromagnetic interference; however, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency
transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise (such as cellular phones, mobile
two-way radios, and electrical appliances) in the healthcare and home environments, it is
possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source, may
result in disruption of performance of this device. Disruption may be evidenced by erratic
readings, inhibited display of measurement values, cessation of operation, connectivity
disruption, or other incorrect functioning. If this occurs, the site of use should be surveyed to
determine the source of this disruption, and actions taken to eliminate the source. If you need
assistance, contact the Philips Customer Care Solutions Center or your local Philips
Representative.
• Do not dispose of this product (or any part of it) in industrial or domestic waste. The system may
contain hazardous substances that can cause serious environmental pollution. The system also
contains privacy sensitive information. Follow local regulations and the policies of your
healthcare facility. Philips recommends that you contact your Philips Service Organization before
disposing of this product.
• To avoid contaminating or infecting personnel, the environment, or other equipment, disinfect
and decontaminate the monitor before disposing of it in accordance with your country’s laws. For
