WARNING – ARRHYTHMIA PATIENTS. The Nightingale PPM3 is
designed to operate in the presence of cardiac arrhythmias.
However, the heart rate meter may be adversely affected in some
cases.
WARNING – DEVICE INTERCONNECTIONS. Through its OMD (Other
Medical Device) port, the Nightingale PPM3 can be connected to
external devices. The following precautions should be taken:
• The OMD cable should not be applied to the patient.
• Connected devices should be located outside of the patient
vicinity (greater than 1.5 meters) if they do not comply with IEC
60601-1.
• The PPM3 should not be connected to devices that are not
described in this manual.
• The over-all system leakage current should be tested and
should comply with IEC 60601-1-1.
• Nightingale MPC to PPM3 Network installation must be
performed by service personnel that are authorized by Zoe
Medical. Connection of the PPM3 to a network that includes
other equipment could result in previously unidentified risks.

lithium ion coin cell battery and transport battery pack. The following
precautions should be taken regarding these batteries:
• Do not immerse in water.
• Do not heat or throw in fire.
• Do not leave in conditions over 60 ºC or in a heated car.

when it is powered on, remove the unit from service and contact Zoe
Medical Technical Support.
