C A U T I O N
z There are some cases when the pacemaker pulse can not be detected
depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width,
electrode lead type (unipolar, bipolar), or electrode placement which
causes the pacemaker pulse amplitude to decrease and disables the
pacemaker pulse detection.
z If signals similar to a pacemaker pulse are present, such as electric
blanket noise or excessive AC frequency noise, these may be
erroneously detected and displayed as a pacemaker pulse.
z When a spontaneous QRS overlaps pacemaker pulse (e.g. fusion beat,
etc.), the heart rate will decrease because QRS detection cannot be
properly performed.
z If a pacemaker pulse is continuously detected due to AC frequency
interference, QRS detection will be suspended and the heart rate will
be reduced.
Non-Explosion Proof
D A N G E R
Never operate the equipment in the presence of flammable anesthetics,
high concentration of oxygen, or inside hyperbaric chamber. Also, do not
operate the equipment in an environment in which there is a risk of
explosion.
Explosion or fire may result.
Precautions about Magnetic Resonance Imaging
W A R N I N G
Do not use this equipment in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
environments. This equipment may be pulled towards the MRI device. And
the local heating by the induced electromotive force may cause burn injury
to the subject or deteriorate the performance of this equipment.
Defibrillation Safety
W A R N I N G
z When defibrillating, keep away from the electrodes or medicament
applied to the patient chest. If this is not possible, remove the
electrodes or medicament before defibrillating.
If the defibrillator paddles are directly in contact with the electrodes or
medicament, an electrical shock may result by the discharged energy.
z When defibrillating, make sure that the electrodes, sensor cables, or
relay cables are firmly connected to the device.
Contacting the metal part of the disconnected cable may result in
electrical shock from the discharged energy.
z When defibrillating, do not touch the patient and the metal part of the
device or cables. Electric shock may result from the discharged energy.
