WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING: This instrument is NOT explosion proof. This instrument has
been designed and manufactured to minimize the hazard, but the risk, although
low, has not been completely eliminated. An explosion risk can exist in
sufficiently high atmospheric concentrations of such anesthetics or agents,
mixed with air, or with oxygen or with nitrous oxide. The probability of
occurrence of the ignition of such anesthetic mixtures depends upon their
concentration, the appropriate minimum ignition energy, the presence of high
surface temperatures, and the energy of sparking. Sparks can be caused where
electrical circuits are opened or closed by the operation of switches, connectors,
fuses, or over-current releases and the like.
Operator action: The operator shall observe care when using this instrument in
areas in which flammable anesthetics or flammable agents for disinfection or
cleaning are applied. In the event, the atmospheric concentrations of the
flammable agents are elevated, the unit should not be powered OFF if running, or
should not be powered ON if it is OFF.
PIM Use Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION: All bedside mounted peripherals should be securely placed to avoid
injury to the user or patient.
CAUTION: The patient interface module’s magnetic strip, which allows it to be
attached to various surfaces during use, can damage audiotapes, computer tapes,
computer disks, and other magnetically sensitive components. Do not place the
PIM near these items.
CAUTION: Do not damage the PIM’s cable by rolling equipment on it or using
excessive force when disconnecting it.
CAUTION: If you drop the PIM, you may cause permanent damage to the
external packaging and internal electronics. Do not use the system if the outer
case of the module appears damaged.
CAUTION: The PIM should not be placed below the IV pole where liquids may
drip into the catheter connector and cause damage.
CAUTION: The PIM cable is susceptible to damage if not stored properly. Never
let the PIM cable lay on the floor. Store the PIM cable in a manner where the
connector end cannot be damaged by personnel, gurneys or table
movements. There must be sufficient slack in the cable when stored on the table
to avoid binding during table movements.
CAUTION: If the PIM, SpinVision (PIMr), and/or Pimmette are moved while
being used with a patient and causes the catheter to be displaced in the body,
there is significant risk to the patients’ safety. Please ensure that the PIM,
SpinVision (PIMr), and/or Pimmette are securely placed at all times.
