DANGER
Explosion Hazard: DO NOT use the Tempus Pro in the presence of flammable gasses
such as fuels. Use of the Tempus Pro in such environment may present an explosion
hazard.
WARNING
The FilterLine may ignite in the presence of O2 when directly exposed to laser, ESU
devices, or high heat. When performing head and neck procedures involving laser,
electrosurgical devices or high heat, use with caution to prevent flammability of the
FilterLine or surrounding surgical drapes.

dimmer.
WARNING
To ensure patient electrical isolation, only connect Tempus Pro to other systems
which are compliant with the relevant IEC standard e.g. IEC60950, and which employ
suitably electronically isolated circuits. Signal input and output connectors are only
for connection to equipment complying with relevant IEC safety standards and must
be configured to comply with IEC60601-1-1 or IEC60601-1:2005.
WARNING
Attaching different medical systems together can cause increases in leakage
currents. If the Tempus is connected to other medical devices, or if the patient has
multiple devices attached to them at the same time, the cumulative effect of leakage
currents must be considered.
WARNING
Do not touch the patient at the same time as touching the body or contacts of any of
the medical or communications or power connectors.
WARNING
Many environmental variables, including patient physiology and clinical application,
can affect the accuracy and performance of the monitor. The clinician must verify all
vital-signs information prior to patient intervention.
WARNING
Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilise, or immerse in liquid the Tempus or an
y of
its cables or accessories as this may cause sensor damage which may result in
inaccurate readings.
WARNING
Attention should be paid to the following EMC information prior to installing or using
the device.
WARNING
The Tempus should not be stacke
d next to other equipment. If this is necessary
verify normal operation if utilizing device adjacent to or stacked with other electrical
equipment.
