Modules are inserted into the rack with the front of the module facing out. To insert a
module, gently push the module into the rack slot until you hear the module click into
place.

measurements (label conflict, duplicate measurements, etc), the Module Configuration
menu will open automatically. If there is already a window open, the menu will be closed
and the module configuration menu opened. Exceptions include:
• If the Admin/Edit/Discharge Patient Menu is opened or
• If the Date/Time Menu is opened (only when the Date/Time Menu is opened
automatically after a cold start) or
• If the monitor is in Diagnostics mode or
• If the Software Upgrade Menu is open.

conditions. Periodic performance verification tests can be performed, as described in the
Efficia CM Service Guide.
Rack and module replacements may only be made by qualified service personnel.
Warnings Risk of injury or health hazard:
• Explosion Hazard. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide. Oxygen concentrations must be
<25% and partial pressure <27.5 kPa when no other oxidants are present.
• To prevent or minimize burns caused by a defective neutral electrode connection, use
caution when handling electrodes, transducers, and cables in the presence of high-
frequency surgical equipment. Verify that the equipment is working correctly before
each use.
• Do not open the patient monitor or attempt to change the battery. Incorrect battery
replacement may cause overheating, fire or explosion. If you suspect a problem with
parts within the monitor, contact your technical support team or Philips
representative.
