ELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281)
I
NTRODUCTION
Intended Use
The Spacelabs Healthcare AriaTele Telemetry Transmitter (96281),
when used in conjunction with a Spacelabs Healthcare Ultraview
patient monitor and telemetry receiver, provides a means for the
continuous monitoring of electrocardiographic signals in order to
detect abnormal cardiac rhythms, including life-threatening events
such as high and low heart rates, asystole, and ventricular fibrillation.
Optionally, on adult patients, additional abnormal cardiac rhythms,
such as ventricular runs, tachycardia, and ST-segment deviations are
detected.
The 96281 also provides a means for both continuous and episodic
monitoring of pulse blood oxygen saturation signals in order to
detect desaturation caused by abnormal pulmonary/circulatory
functions.
The 96281 is intended for use with either adult or neonatal patient
populations in a hospital environment.
Indications for Use
The 96281-A and 96281-B telemetry transmitters are indicated for
ECG monitoring of adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. The
96281-C telemetry transmitter is indicated for ECG and SpO
2
monitoring of adult, pediatric, and neonate patient populations.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
This chapter includes warnings, cautions, and notes specifically
related to digital telemetry. Refer to the ECG chapter in the Clinical
Parameters Operations Manual for warnings and cautions and
cautionary disclosures related to ECG. Refer to the product
specifications chapter for warnings and cautions and cautionary
disclosures that apply to electrodes and leadwires, defibrillators
(including automatic implantable cardiac defibrillators),
pacemakers, electrosurgical activity, several physiological
parameters, or to the monitoring system itself.
Obey these warnings and cautions to avoid injury or death to
individuals or damage to equipment.
• Review the device prior to each and every procedure. If it
shows signs of abuse then either make sure the device is
repaired in an appropriate manner, serviced, or retired
from use.
