Precautions about the DS-7100 System
D A N G E R
?
When connecting to other device, contact Fukuda Denshi service
representative.
Danger such as electric shock may result to the patient and operator.
?
When monitoring a patient with wireless telemetry, make sure the patient
data is properly received at the central monitor. Pay special attention
when channel ID at the bedside monitor is changed.
W A R N I N G
?
Do not connect unit or cable not authorized by Fukuda Denshi to any I/O
connector. If done so by mistake, the DS-7100 system can not deliver its
maximum performance and the connected units may be damaged,
resulting in a safety hazard.
?
Use only the accompanying 3-way AC power cable. Use of other cables
may result in electric shock to the patient and the operator.
?
The power cable must be connected to AC 115V outlet.
?
When using multiple ME equipment simultaneously, perform equipotential
grounding to prevent potential difference between the equipment. Even a
small potential difference may result in electric shock to the patient and the
operator.
?
The patient type selection influences the precision of the QRS detection
and NIBP measurement. Make sure the correct selection is made.
?
The pacemaker use selection influences the precision of the QRS
detection and arrhythmia analysis. Make sure the correct selection is
made.
?
When measuring the SpO
2
of patient with high fever or peripheral
circulatory insufficiency, check the sensor attachment periodically and
change the attachment site. The temperature of attachment site will rise 2
〜

?
C due to the sensor heat which may result in burn injury.
?
For the following case, accurate measurement may not be possible.
?
Patient with excessive abnormal hemoglobin (HbCO, MetHb)
?
Patient with the pigment injected to the blood
?
Patient receiving CPR treatment
?
When measuring at site with venous pulse
?
Patient with body motion
?
Patient with small pulse
?
Before the measurement, make sure the patient type ( Adult / Child /
Neonate ) is properly selected. Otherwise, correct measurement can
not be performed, and congestion or other injury may result.
?
Pay attention when measuring the NIBP of patient with bleeding disorders
or hypercoagulation. The cuff inflation may cause petechia or circulatory
failure by the blood clot.
?
Use the specified sampling tube and nasal prong manufactured by Oridion.
?
Always consider the circumference of the intubation tube when using the
airway adapter. If inappropriate airway adapter is used for a patient with
low ventilation, CO
2
may mix in to the inspired air resulting in incorrect
measurement, or apnea detection may become difficult.
?
When measuring CO
2
concentration of a patient treated with mouth-to-
mouth resuscitation, Jackson-Rees circuit, Mapleson D circuit of which CO
2
gas may mix in, the value may be displayed lower than the actual value.
?
When the system alarm is suspended, all the alarm will be suspended even
if the parameter alarm is set to ON. Also, the alarm event will not be
stored as recall.
?
If the upper/lower alarm limit of the parameter is set to OFF, or arrhythmia
alarm is set to OFF, alarm will not function even if the system alarm is set to
ON. Pay attention when setting them OFF.
?
If the QRS pace mask function is turned OFF, a decrease in heart rate may
not generate HR or ASYSTOLE alarms due to erroneously detected QRS.
Turn this function OFF only if you are sure that pacing failure will not occur,
or when the patient can be constantly monitored.
