WARNING! Failure to carefully route the cable from the sensor to the monitor may allow
the patient to become entangled in the cable, possibly resulting in patient
strangulation. Route the cable in a way that will prevent the patient from
becoming entangled in the cable. If necessary, use tape to secure the cable.
WARNING! If there is a risk of the AC power supply becoming disconnected from the
monitor during use, secure the cord to the monitor several inches from the
connection.
WARNING! Ensure the device’s AC rating is correct for the AC voltage at your installation
site before using this monitor. The monitor’s AC rating is shown on the external
power supply. If the rating is not correct, do not use the monitor. Contact
the Smiths Medical PM, Inc. service department, or your authorized service
representative, for help.
WARNING! Use only the power supply included with your monitor, or approved by Smiths
Medical PM, Inc. Use of an inappropriate power supply may cause a patient
shock hazard or cause the oximeter to stop monitoring. See Chapter 10:
Optional Supplies & Accessories , for additional specific information.
WARNING! The Docking Station must have a Printer or Printer Port Cover installed. Failure
to do so may cause a risk of electrical shock to the patient or operator or risk
damage to the equipment.
WARNING! Under certain clinical conditions, pulse oximeters may display dashes if
unable to display SpO
2
and/or pulse rate values. Under these conditions, pulse
oximeters may also display erroneous values. These conditions include, but are
not limited to: patient motion, low perfusion, cardiac arrhythmias, high or low
pulse rates or a combination of the above conditions. Failure of the clinician to
recognize the effects of these conditions on pulse oximeter readings may result
in patient injury.
WARNING! Verify that all LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the display light up upon startup
of the device.
