WARNING:
To prevent misdiagnosis, do not use
the ECG trace to diagnose cardiac
rhythms. The SonoSite ECG option
is a non-diagnostic feature.
To avoid electrical interference with
aircraft systems, do not use the ECG
cable on aircraft. Such interference
may have safety consequences.
Caution:
Use only accessories recommended
by SonoSite with the system. Your
system can be damaged by
connecting an accessory not
recommended by SonoSite.
