WARNING
RATE METERS — Keep pacemaker patients under close
observation. Rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate
during cardiac arrest and some arrhythmias. Therefore, do not rely
entirely on rate meter alarms.
WARNING
SINGLE PATIENT USE —This transmitter is designed for use on
one patient at a time. Using this equipment to monitor different
parameters on different patients at the same time compromises the
accuracy of data acquired.
WARNING
SITE REQUIREMENTS — For safety reasons, all connectors for
patient cables and sensor leads are designed to prevent inadvertent
disconnection, should someone pull on them. Do not route cables in
a way that they may present a stumbling hazard. For devices
installed above the patient, adequate precautions must be taken to
prevent them from dropping on the patient.
Cautions
Caution statements identify a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in minor personal injury or product/property damage.
The following caution statements apply to this system.
CAUTION
DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS — Patient signal inputs
labeled with the CF and BF symbols with paddles are protected
against damage resulting from defibrillation voltages. To ensure
proper defibrillator protection, use only the recommended cables
and leadwires.
Proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes
is required to ensure successful defibrillation.
CAUTION
DISPOSABLES — Disposable devices are intended for single use
only. They should not be reused as performance could degrade or
contamination could occur.
