• Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Turning the alarm
volume to a low level or off may result in a hazard to the patient. Always keep the patient under
close surveillance.
• Alarm settings should be customized according to patient situations.
• Do not place the equipment or accessories in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
• Do not start or operate the equipment unless the setup was verified to be correct.
• To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap
and secure excess cabling to reduce risk of entanglement by patients or personnel. The
physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the equipment are for reference only and
cannot be directly used for diagnostic interpretation. The equipment should not be used as the sole
basis for medical decisions. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptom. If any
measurement seems questionable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means and then
check the equipment for proper functioning.
