WARNING:
Supplemental oxygen will attenuate patterns of desaturation. A patient’s
respiratory compromise can be proportionally more severe before patterns
appear in the saturation trend. Remain vigilant when monitoring a patient on
supplemental oxygen.

WARNING:
Do not silence or disable audible alarms or decrease the volume of the audible
alarm if patient safety could be compromised. Do not dim or disable visual
alarms if patient safety could be compromised.

WARNING:
Ensure the monitoring system is clear of any obstructions that prevent
awareness of visual or audible alarms. Failure to do so may result in
inadvertently missing a visual alarm or an inaudible alarm tone.

WARNING:
Do not use any monitoring system, sensor, cable, or connector that appears
damaged. Remove any damaged equipment from service for inspection by a
qualified service technician.

WARNING:
Do not lift by the sensor or interface cable. The cable may disconnect,
potentially dropping the monitoring system on a patient or damaging
surface.

WARNING:
When installing the AC power cord, ensure the cord is carefully positioned to
prevent tripping and entanglement.

WARNING:
Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the monitoring system, its accessories,
connectors, switches, or openings in the chassis, since this may cause damage
to the monitoring system.
