WARnInG! In the event that earth ground integrity is lost, the performance of this device and/or other
devices nearby may be affected due to excessive RF emissions.
WARnInG! The monitor should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or
stacked use is necessary, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
WARnInG! Equipment is protected against defibrillator discharge. Rate meters and displays may be
temporarily affected during defibrillation, but will rapidly recover.
WARnInG! Where HF (diathermy) is used there is no danger of burning to the patient provided
recommended components are used. Rate meters may be temporarily affected.
WARnInG! This device must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. This device is only
intended to be an adjunct in patient assessment.
WARnInG! If the accuracy of any measurement is in question, check the patient’s vital sign(s) by an
alternative method and then check the monitor for proper functioning.
WARnInG! This monitor will not operate effectively on patients who are experiencing convulsions or
tremors.
WARnInG! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the monitor and other accessories in
liquid. Evidence that liquid has been allowed to enter the monitor voids the warranty.
WARnInG! Any monitor that has been dropped or damaged should be checked by qualified service
personnel to ensure proper operation prior to use.
WARnInG! Use only original manufacturer or recommended patient cables. Use of accessories other than
those specified may result in increased electro-magnetic (EM) emissions or decreased EM
immunity of the device. To avoid potential electro-static discharge interference, do not use
cables that incorporate metal or metal-coated connectors.
WARnInG! There is no defibrillator synchronization output on the monitor. Make no connections
between the monitor and a defibrillator.
WARnInG! Medical electrical equipment, including this device, needs special precautions regarding
electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service
according to the EMC information provided in this manual.
