WARNING
Portable and mobile Radio Frequency (RF) communication equipment may interfere
with the operation of the device.
WARNING
Computers, cables and accessories not tested to IEC/EN60601-1-2 or equivalent IEC
standards may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device.
WARNING
Follow precautions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) to and from other equipment.
WARNING
Only use Tempus Pro with the relevant cables and peripherals provided by RDT. Use
of any other accessories could result in inaccurate measurements. Use of any other
cables or accessories could affect defibrillator protection.
WARNING
Exposure of the wireless communication features of the Tempus Pro or its
accessories may be interfered with by other devices which operate at the same
frequencies.
WARNING
The sensors of the Tempus Pro are only for contact with intact and undamaged skin.
WARNING
Any device or accessory that has been dropped, damaged or subjected to harsh
usage or extreme environmental conditions should be inspected by qualified service
personnel prior to use to ensure proper operation.
WARNING
The ECG device is not intended for use in a sterile environment. Do not use for direct
cardiac application.
WARNING
Do not attempt to insert the ECG device (including patient cables) into an electrical
outlet.
WARNING
The ECG recorder and monitoring functions are for resting ECG and should not be
used in stress testing environments.
WARNING
Though false positive errors will intentionally outnumber false negative errors, both
will occur, thus the necessity for over reading by a qualified physician of any
computer-interpreted ECG. The computer interpretation does not produce a definitive
diagnosis.
WARNING
Ensure electrodes are connected only to patient.
WARNING
Conductive parts of electrodes and connectors, including neutral electrode, should
not contact other conductive parts including earth.
WARNING
Always keep motion to a minimum. Motion artefact can potentially affect the
accuracy of patient readings.
WARNING
Do not connect more than one patient to a monitor. Do not connect more than one
monitor to a patient.
