WARNING
7. Connecting to other devices may decrease the antistatic gradation of this device
during operation.
8.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Do not use the system in the presence of flammable
anesthetic mixtures with oxygen or other flammable agents.
9.
SHOCK HAZARD
- The power receptacle must be a hospital grade grounded outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet.
10. Do not use this system in the presence of high static electricity or high voltage
equipment which may generate sparks.
11. In order to avoid being burnt, please keep the electrodes far away from the radio
knife while using electrosurgical equipment.
12. Only the patient cable supplied by the manufacturer can be used. Or else, the
performance and electric shock protection can not be guaranteed.
13. Turn off the system power and remove the power cable before servicing or
maintaining the system.
14. Please do not operate the system during servicing or before it is running normally.
15. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the pet correctly before operation.
16. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting
objects.
17. Electrodes with defibrillator protection should be used while defibrillating.
18. The disposable electrodes can only be used for one time.
19. Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used; otherwise it may cause a high
polarization voltage.
20. Do not touch the pet, bed, table or the system simultaneously while using the system
together with a defibrillator.
21. If reusable electrodes with electrode gel are used during defibrillation, the ECG
recovery will take more than 10 seconds. The manufacturer recommends the use of
disposable electrodes at all times.
22. Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all
configurations shall comply with the valid version of the standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
Therefore anybody, who connects additional equipment to the signal input or output
connector to configure a medical system, must make sure that it complies with the
