Warnings, Precautions and Notes Introduction
CAUTION: Follow your hospital protocol for handling of blood and
body fluids.
CAUTION: The use of the Telepack may affect the functioning of other
medical electrical equipment operating in the same
frequency band.
CAUTION: Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for
applied parts and neutral electrode should not contact other
conductive parts and earth.
CAUTION: The Telepack may not function properly if it was subjected
to extreme mechanical forces.
CAUTION: The Telepack may not function if the batteries installed in the
device are corroded.
CAUTION: The Telepack should not be attached to the patient when the
device is being programmed into the system.
CAUTION: Ensure that the ECG lead cable is plugged into the port
firmly, the end cap of the battery is firmly secured and the
serial port is also secured with the protective plug to
prevent fluids from entering into the Telepack.
CAUTION: When disconnecting ECG leads from the patient, do not pull
on the leadsets. This will decrease the life of the leadsets.
Grasp the connectors on the leadset and pull gently.
CAUTION: Ensure that the lead wires are not inadvertently caught in
the bed rails. If this happens, the insulation may get cut or
the leadset may break.
CAUTION: Using more than one type of electrode on the same patient
should be avoided because of variations in electrical
resistance.
CAUTION: The LEDs on the Telepack may not be clearly visible under
brightly lit conditions. The lighting should be adjusted to
ensure that all LED indicators are clearly visible.
CAUTION: The user should monitor the Panorama Central Station for
messages from the Telepack that indicate a low battery
condition.
CAUTION: Periodically press the CHECK button on the Telepack to
verify the battery condition.
CAUTION: Some pacemakers may contain a respiratory sensor that
may produce artifact on an ECG waveform.
CAUTION: Prior to sterilization, lead sets must be removed from the
Telepack. The Telepack must not be sterilized.
CAUTION: Visually inspect the battery compartment for any foreign
object prior to use.
CAUTION: Ensure that the batteries are removed when the Telepack is
being stored.
