Warnings and Cautions
8
• Strong transmitter signals from TV, radio, airport, police, fire, and ambulance stations could be
picked up as heart and/or breath signals. If located less than one (1) mile from one or more of
these sources, the monitor may be affected.
18. In some locations, the monitor will not work properly. If the monitor is affected by external interference
in the area, you may not be able to use the monitor. Contact Respironics for further assistance. Use
of a third (RL) electrode may help reduce electrical interference.
19. If monitoring two or more infants in the same area, keep the monitors, patient, patient cables and lead
wires at least three (3) feet apart. Having the patient cables and lead wires close together may cause
missed apneas due to interference.
20. Do not connect the infant to the SmartMonitor 2 if the monitor is placed in the Communications Mode.
The apnea and heart alarms do not work when the SmartMonitor 2 is in this mode.
21. Do not use the SmartMonitor 2 at the same time as other impedance monitors. This may cause
missed apneas due to interference.
22. Do not rock the baby or sleep in the same bed with the baby while monitoring. Touching or moving
near the baby, monitor, or cables could cause the monitor to miss apneas.
