Safety Information
System Warnings
Prescription - Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by
or on the order of a physician.
Patient Monitoring – The most reliable method of patient
monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct
operation of monitoring equipment.
Secondary Patient Monitoring System – The bedside monitor
and designated station make up the patient monitoring system.
Patient alarm conditions and notifications are primary functions
of the patient monitoring system. It is imperative that patient
alarm conditions be monitored at the primary monitor or
designated station. The AlarmView System is not intended
for use as the primary source for patient alarm notification.
Explosion Hazard – Do not use the AlarmView System in the
presence of flammable anesthetics, skin cleaning agents,
disinfectants or gases. Care must be taken when the device is
used in oxygen-enriched environments (where room air contains
25% or more oxygen or nitrous oxide).
Electrical Shock – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
remove the cover of the AlarmView transmitter. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel. Do not spray or spill any liquid on the
AlarmView transmitter, power supply, pager, programmer, or any
accessories, connectors, switches or openings in the equipment.
Pacemaker Interference – The programmer’s speaker may
cause interference with some pacemakers when used in close
proximity. For patients with pacemakers, do not use the
AlarmView programmer near a patient’s chest area or place the
programmer on a patient’s chest.
