Safety Precautions for Using the Equipment

Perform the calibration 5 minutes after turning ON the power on the HCP-810/HCP-820.

Do not disconnect the sampling tube during calibration. If disconnected, calibration will cease.

Dispose of calibration gas according to the regulation of each medical institution.

Microstream
®
EtCO
2
sampling tubes are designed for single patient use, and are not to be reused. Do not
attempt to clean, disinfect, sterilize or flush any part of the sampling tube as this can cause damage to the
monitor or lead to cross-infection.

Dispose of sampling tubes according to standard operating procedures or local regulations for the disposal of
contaminated medical waste.

Before use, carefully read the Directions for Use for the Microstream
®
EtCO
2
sampling tube.

Only use Microstream
®
EtCO
2
sampling lines to ensure the monitor functions properly.
Precautions about the CO
2
Monitoring (HCP-810/HCP-820)

The airway adapter should be attached with the thicker side facing to the patient. If attached oppositely, it may
damage the CO
2
sensor or airway adapter.

Dispose of calibration gas according to the regulation of each medical institution.
Precautions about the Alarm

Alarm messages will be displayed according to the priority. (Level S > Level H > Level M > Level L> Level N)

For the same alarm level, the alarm message for the newer alarm will be displayed.

The arrhythmia alarm message other than Tachy, Brady, Ext Tachy, Ext Brady will continue to be displayed
for 30 seconds after the alarm is resolved.

When "LEAD OFF", "Check Electrodes" is displayed, HR alarm or arrhythmia alarm will not function. If this
condition is left unresolved, a sudden change of the patient may not be noticed. Take prompt action when the
lead-off condition is detected.

For the HPD-810/HPD-820 and HCP-810/HCP-820, the CO
2
measurement range is 0 to 99 mmHg/0 to 13.3
kPa, and the upper EtCO
2
alarm will not generate if the upper alarm limit is set to 100 mmHg/13.4 kPa and
above.

Whether to use the SpO
2
second alarm function and its threshold selection should be based on the patient's
clinical indication/portent and medical evaluation.

If the SpO
2
alarm and second alarm setup is set to [OFF], the second alarm integral value will be set to 0.

Pay attention not to set the alarm volume too low to avoid missing any important alarms.

On a wired network, the alarm generated on the bedside monitor will be output to the network with a maximum
delay of 1 second, and to the central monitor with a total delay of 2.5 seconds.

On a wireless network, the alarm generated on the bedside monitor will be output to the network with a
maximum delay of 2 seconds, and to the central monitor with a total delay of 3 seconds to 12 seconds.

If the same or similar equipments with different alarm settings are used in the same facility or same department,
pay attention not to misjudge the alarms.
Precautions about the System Setup

When the waveform and numeric data display for each parameter is set to OFF, the alarm and trend input will
be also suspended.

If the HR/PR source is set to [BP], and if BP waveform/numeric data is set to [Disp. OFF], the PR value will
not be displayed.

If the HR/PR source is set to [SpO
2
], and if SpO
2
waveform/numeric data is set to [Disp. OFF], the PR value
will not be displayed.

If the RR source is set to [CO
2
/GAS], and if CO
2
waveform/numeric data is set to [Disp. OFF], the RR value
will not be displayed.

If the time/date is not correctly set, or changed during monitoring, malfunction may occur with NIBP
measurement, periodic printing, trend, NIBP list data, and age calculation from the birth date.
