Warnings about the 12-Lead ECG Analysis Function

The 12-Lead ECG analysis function is designed to acquire and interpret ECG

data from a resting, supine patient. If ECG signals from moving or shaking
patients are acquired, erroneous 12-lead interpretation result may occur.
Always ensure that the patient is kept motionless during 12-lead ECG signal
acquisition and analysis.

The 12-lead ECG analysis is intended for use with adult and pediatric patients.

All computerized ECG analysis results should be reviewed by a physician

before making decision for the patient treatment.

Precautions about the System

Do not assess the patient's condition by only information from this equipment.

A clinical judgment based on the information from the equipment should be
made by a doctor who fully understands functions of the equipment, in a
comprehensive manner combined with clinical findings and other test results.

Do not assess the patient's condition by only alarm from this equipment.

When the alarm is set to OFF or low priority, a sudden change of the patient
may not be noticed.

If an alarm generates, check the patient's condition first and ensure the safety.

Depending on the alarm, take appropriate measures to remove the problem. If
the problem lies with the alarm setting, set the alarm properly.

When measuring for a long period of time, make sure not to compress the

patient with the lead cables and the electrodes. Compressing the same site for
a long duration may inhibit the blood flow and generate compression necrosis
and burn injury.

Use only the spare parts specified for this equipment. Otherwise, proper

function cannot be executed.

Do not use the touch panel with the film attached. Malfunction of the touch

panel or damage may result.

Due to its material characteristic, the touch panel expands/contracts

depending on the temperature/humidity. When the touch panel is left unused
for a while, or when the ambient temperature is low, the surface film of the
touch panel may expand, but this is not an abnormal condition. This expansion
will be reduced in few hours or half a day after the power is turned ON.

For quality improvement, specifications are subject to change without prior

notice.

The display unit utilizes LED for the backlight. Since this LED deteriorates by

the life cycle, the display may become dark, scintillate, or may not light by the
long term use. In such case, contact Fukuda Denshi.

This equipment is intended to be used for only one patient.

The installation of this equipment should be performed by our service

representative or a person who is well acquainted with this equipment.

If the main unit will be unused for a long period, disconnect the power cable

and the lithium-ion battery from the main unit.

The lithium-ion battery can only be charged in the specified operating

temperatures of the equipment. Refer to the operation manual of the lithium-ion
battery (BTO-008) for details.

Precautions about the ECG Monitoring

If any electrodes get detached from the patient after being connected to the

lead cable and patient monitor, pay attention that the metal part of the
electrode does not get in touch with any metal parts of the bed or any
conductive parts. Also, the operator should not touch any conductive parts with
bare hands. Otherwise, it may result in electric shock to the patient and/or
operator.

The indication for continuous use of the electrode is about one day.

Replace the electrode if the skin contact gets loosen due to perspiration, etc.

When an electrode is attached to the same location for a long period, some

patients may develop skin irritation. Check the patient's skin condition
periodically and change the electrode site as required.
