6. The analyzer is intended for use only by trained technologists, nurses, physicians

and therapists. Operators should be familiar with the contents of this user manual

before operation.

WARNING

7. The results given by the system should be examined based on the overall clinical

condition of the patient, and should not be a substitute for regular checking.

8. To ensure grounding reliability, only connect the system to a hospital-grade power

receptacle.

9. Connect the analyzer to a grounded socket and make certain that the mains supply

meets the requirements specified in the user manual.

10. Do not exceed the maximum permitted load when using multiple portable

socket-outlets to supply the system.

11. SHOCK HAZARD - Do not attempt to connect or disconnect a power cord with wet

hands. Make certain that your hands are clean and dry before touching a power cord.

12. If you have any questions about the power adaptor or the power cord, use the battery

but not the AC power supply. Prior to using AC power supply, inspection of the power

adaptor and the power cord is recommended. If it is necessary, consult EDAN or its

authorized distributors for service.

13. The analyzer is not waterproof. Do not use it in locations where water or any liquid

leakage may occur.

14. Do not cast any fluid onto the system surface, as fluid seepage into the electrical

circuitry may cause excessive leakage current or system failure.

15. Do not spray cleaning fluids on the system, as this may force cleaning fluid into the

system and damage electronic components. It is also possible for solvent fumes to

build up and form flammable gases or damage internal components.

16. To avoid the possibility of electrostatic shock and damage to the system, avoid using

aerosol spray cleansers on the analyzer screen.

17. EXPLOSION HAZARD – The analyzer is not suitable for use in the presence of a

flammable anesthetic mixture with oxygen or other flammable compounds.
