Before disposing of a monitor, delete all patient information. For instructions on
deleting patient data, see “Clearing Patient Data” on page 3-44.
If the device label on your monitor indicates that it may contain mercury, recycle or
dispose of the monitor in accordance with local, state, or federal laws for mercury.
If this product is to be passed on to another user who is to use it for its intended
purpose, then it should be passed on in its complete state. In particular, the existing
user should make sure that all the product support documentation — including all
Instructions for Use — are passed on to the new user. A new user should be made
aware of the support services that Philips Healthcare provides for installing,
commissioning, and maintaining the equipment or system, and for the
comprehensive training of operators. Existing users must bear in mind that passing
on medical electrical equipment to new users may present serious technical,
medical, privacy, and legal risks. The original user may remain liable even if the
equipment is given away.
Existing users are strongly advised to seek advice from their local Philips
Healthcare representative before agreeing to pass on any equipment.
After the equipment has been passed on to a new user, the previous user may still
receive important safety-related information, such as bulletins and field change
orders. In many jurisdictions there is a clear duty on the previous user to
communicate such safety-related information to new users.
Previous users who are not able or prepared to do this should inform Philips
Healthcare about the new user, so that Philips Healthcare can provide the new user
with safety-related information.
To protect confidential patient information, do not leave the monitor unattended.
Passwords restrict access to the system administration and service functions. Only
qualified service personnel can access these functions. The password does not
protect electronic health information (ePHI).
