CARDELL MONITOR SERVICE MANUAL

21-02-0286 REV. 02 05/09

WARNING:

Do not apply the blood pressure cuff on an extremity being used for an intravenous infusion.

Do not place liquids on top of the monitor. Do not immerse the monitor or power cord in water

or any liquid. If unit is accidentally wetted it should be thoroughly dried. The rear cover can be

removed by a qualified service technician to verify absence of water.

Accurate oxygen saturation measurement cannot be obtained with the Model 9402 when the

oximeter is not measuring the pulse properly. If the perfusion bar graph or the PULSE RATE be

erratic or inaccurate, first examine the animal for any signs of distress and only then re-examine

sensor placement.

Inadequate perfusion, thick fur, dark skin or foreign matter that blocks light or an improperly

applied sensor can result in erratic and inaccurate oxygen saturation and/or pulse rate

measurement. Should the perfusion bar graph be at a low level, reposition the sensor or try a

different sensor. If proper operation cannot be verified, remove the sensor from the animal and

do not use the oximeter on this animal.

In the event the sensor becomes dislodged from the animal, audible and visual alarms are

activated requiring that a veterinary professional investigate the reason for the alarm status.

The veterinary professional should investigate status and sensor attachment after every sensor

alarm indication. It is possible when the sensor is dislodged from the animal (under certain

conditions of light and vibration of the sensor) for the pulse oximeter to display normal

physiological values.

ACCURACY – If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the

patient’s vital signs by alternate means and then check the CARDELL Monitor for proper

functioning.

CABLES – Route all cables away from patient’s throat to avoid possible strangulation.

DEFIBRILLATION – Do not come in contact with patients during defibrillation. Serious injury or

death could result.

DISPOSAL – Dispose of the packaging material, observing the applicable waste control

regulations.

LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST – The interconnection of auxiliary equipment with this device may

increase the total leakage current. When interfacing with other equipment, a test for leakage

current must be performed by a qualified biomedical engineering personnel before using with

patients. Serious injury or death could result if the leakage current exceeds applicable

standards. The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety

requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system.

Consideration relating to the choice shall include: use of the accessory in the patient vicinity;

and evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance

with the appropriate IEC 601.1 and/or IEC 601.1.1 harmonized national standard.

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.
