Warnings
9650-001355-01 Rev. M X Series Operator’s Guide 1-21
• Blood pressure measurement may be inaccurate if taken while accelerating or decelerating
in a moving vehicle.
• If an NIBP measurement result is questionable or “motion” indication is displayed, repeat
the measurement. If the repeated measurement result is still questionable, use another blood
pressure measurement method.
• Do not use the NIBP on cardiopulmonary bypass patients.
IBP
• To ensure compatibility and electrical safety, accessory pressure sensors should comply with
ANSI/AAMI BP-22 and IEC 60601-2-34 for IBP or ANSI/AAMI NS28 for ICP.
• Follow instructions supplied with any accessory pressure sensor regarding calibration and
removal of trapped air.
• Avoid touching metal parts of any transducer while it is in contact with the patient.
• Do not reuse any components that are labeled for single use only.
• Transducers should be rated to withstand an accidental drop of at least a meter onto a hard
surface.
• Transducers that are subject to immersion in liquids should be rated as watertight.
CO
2
• During MRI scanning, the monitor must be placed outside the MRI suite. When the monitor
is used outside the MRI suite, EtCO
2
monitoring can be implemented using a long
FilterLine
®
which permits placement of the monitor outside the MRI suite.
• When using the monitor with anesthetics, nitrous oxide or high concentrations of oxygen,
connect the gas outlet to a scavenger system.
• Use only Oridion Microstream CO
2
sampling lines.
• Microstream CO
2
sampling lines are labeled for single patient use only. Do not reuse
sampling lines.
• If using the CO
2
Monitor for extended critical care, replace the airway adapter every 24
hours or when it becomes occluded.
• CO
2
readings and respiratory rate can be affected by sensor application errors, certain
ambient environmental conditions, and certain patient conditions.
Respiration
• Do not operate the X Series with any other monitor with respiration measurements on the
same patient. The two devices could affect the respiration accuracy.
• The device should not be used as an apnea monitor.
Ferromagnetic Equipment
Biomedical equipment and accessories, such as ECG electrodes, cables, and oximeter probes
contain ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetic equipment must not be used in the presence of
high magnetic fields created by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment.
The large magnetic fields generated by an MRI device can attract ferromagnetic equipment
with an extremely violent force, which could cause serious personal injury or death to persons
between the equipment and the MRI device.
