SenTec Digital Monitoring System
1.2.1 General Safety Information
WARNING: The SenTec Digital Monitoring System (SDMS) is to
be operated by qualified personnel only. Read this manual,
accessory Directions for Use, all precautionary information, and
specifications before use.
WARNING: The SenTec Digital Monitor (SDM) is not intended
for diagnosis, it is intended only as an adjunct in patient
assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs
and symptoms. The SDM is a cutaneous blood gas monitor and
not a blood gas analyzer.
WARNING: Do not use SDMs, sensors, cables, or connectors
that appear damaged.
WARNING: Carefully route and fix cables to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety, do not place the SDM in
any position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
WARNING: Do not lift the SDM by the sensor cable or the AC
power cord because they could disconnect from the SDM,
causing the SDM to fall on the patient.
WARNING: Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the SDM,
its accessories, connectors, switches, or openings in the chassis.
If the SDM has been wetted accidentally, it must be removed
from AC power, wiped dry externally, allowed to dry thoroughly,
and inspected by qualified service personnel before further use.
WARNING: Keep the SDM (as well as any discarded parts) out
of reach of children under the age of 5 years. Some parts of the
SDM are small enough to be swallowed and may block the
trachea.
WARNING: Explosion and flammability hazards. Do not use the
SDM in the presence of flammable anesthetics / gases or other
flammable substances in any environment which has increased
oxygen content.
