1-6 VS2000 Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
CAUTION! Blocking the ventilation holes on the monitor's rear panel can
prevent air circulation inside the monitor, possibly resulting in
damage to the monitor. Leave an air gap behind the monitor to
allow air to circulate through the ventilation holes.
CAUTION! Chemicals used in some cleaning agents may cause brittleness
of plastic parts. Follow cleaning instructions in this manual.
CAUTION! If the device becomes wet, wipe off all moisture and allow
sufficient time for drying before operating.
CAUTION! Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions
regarding disposal and recycling of device components and
packaging.
NOTE! All user and patient accessible materials are non-toxic.
NOTE! Each input and output connection of the monitor is electrically
isolated. Connection of this monitor to other equipment will not
increase leakage current.
ECG Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
WARNING! Connect only three-lead or five-lead ECG lead wires from the
patient to the ECG patient cable. Do not connect any other
signal source to the ECG patient cable.
WARNING! This monitor does not identify or interpret arrhythmia events.
The indication of heart rate may be adversely affected by the
presence of cardiac arrhythmias.
WARNING! Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac
waveforms and thus inhibit heart rate alarms.
CAUTION! Only five-lead ECG cable can be used to this monitor. Using the
incorrect cable for the selected mode might lead to a floating
reference or additional noise on the ECG signal.
NOTE! Follow institutional standards when applying ECG electrodes.
Silver/Silver Chloride disposable electrodes are strongly
recommended to avoid polarization effects that result in large
input offset potentials. Use of "squeeze bulb" type electrodes is
