FOR PROPER GROUNDING, THE POWER RECEPTACLE MUST BE A THREE-WIRE
GROUNDED OUTLET. A HOSPITAL GRADE OUTLET IS REQUIRED. NEVER
ADAPT THE THREE-PRONG PLUG FROM THE MONITOR TO FIT A TWO-SLOT
OUTLET. IF THE OUTLET HAS ONLY TWO SLOTS, MAKE SURE THAT IT IS
REPLACED WITH A THREE-SLOT GROUNDED OUTLET BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO OPERATE THE MONITOR.
IF THE INTEGRITY OF THE EXTERNAL PROTECTIVE EARTH GROUND IS IN
DOUBT, THE A-2000 SHALL BE OPERATED FROM ITS INTERNAL BATTERY
POWER SOURCE ONLY.

mm

MUST BE USED.
THE CONDUCTIVE PARTS OF ELECTRODES OR SENSOR AND CONNECTORS,
INCLUDING THE NEUTRAL ELECTRODE, SHOULD NOT CONTACT OTHER
CONDUCTIVE PARTS, INCLUDING EARTH.
TO REDUCE THE HAZARD OF BURNS IN THE HIGH-FREQUENCY SURGICAL
NEUTRAL ELECTRODE CONNECTION, THE SENSOR OR ELECTRODES SHOULD
NOT BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE SURGICAL SITE AND THE ELECTRO-
SURGICAL UNIT RETURN ELECTRODE.
THE SENSOR MUST NOT BE LOCATED BETWEEN DEFIBRILLATOR PADS WHEN
A DEFIBRILLATOR IS USED ON A PATIENT CONNECTED TO THE A-2000.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF PATIENT STRANGULATION, THE PATIENT
INTERFACE CABLE (PIC) MUST BE CAREFULLY PLACED AND SECURED.
BE SURE THE MONITOR IS MOUNTED SECURELY IN PLACE TO AVOID
PERSONAL OR PATIENT INJURY.
UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS SHALL BE OBSERVED TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH
BLOOD OR OTHER POTENTIALLY INFECTIOUS MATERIALS. PLACE
CONTAMINATED MATERIALS IN REGULATED WASTE CONTAINER.
DO NOT MIX DISINFECTING SOLUTIONS (e.g., BLEACH AND AMMONIA), AS
HAZARDOUS GASES MAY RESULT.

COMPUTER), THE SYSTEM LEAKAGE CURRENT MUST BE CHECKED AND MUST
BE LESS THAN THE IEC601-1-1 LIMIT.
