Safety Precautions for Using the Equipment
Precautions for Using the Equipment
This System
 Do not connect any equipment or cable not authorized by Fukuda Denshi to any I/O connector.
Also, do not connect any damaged equipment or cable.If done so by mistake, not only that the equipment
cannot deliver its maximum performance, the equipment may be damaged and safety cannot be ensured.
 "For the connector with mark, only the peripheral devices specified by Fukuda Denshi should be
connected with the given procedure on the operation manual. Use of an unspecified device may cause electric
shock to the patient and/or operator due to excessive leakage current.
 If the equipment is used under an environment not fulfilling the specified condition, not only that the equipment
cannot deliver its maximum performance, the equipment may be damaged and safety cannot be ensured.
 When using multiple ME equipment simultaneously, perform equipotential grounding to prevent potential
difference between the equipments.
Even a small potential difference may result in electric shock to the patient and the operator.
 Use only the supplied 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 a hospital grade outlet of AC 100-240 V AC .When connecting, do not
use a multiple portable socket-outlet.
 The PHS nurse call system should be used as supplementary function of alarm notification. Make sure to
monitor the alarm on this equipment as it may not be notified to the PHS depending on the nurse call system
condition.
 When using the PHS nurse call system, make sure to set the "Bed Name" as it will be used for alarm notification
to the PHS. If the "Bed Name" is not set, the patient cannot be specified on the nurse call system.
 The pacemaker use selection influences the precision of the QRS detection and arrhythmia analysis. Make sure
the correct selection is made.
 The patient classification selection influences the precision of the QRS detection and NIBP measurement
range. Make sure the correct selection is made.
 When [Suspend] is selected for "Setup at Discharge" (Initial Settings>User I/F), the monitoring on this
equipment will not resume until the [Resume] key on this equipment is pressed even if the monitoring is
resumed on the bedside monitor. (Depends on the software version of the bedside monitor.)
 If a low battery condition occurs for the battery operating bedside monitor or telemetry transmitter, the
waveforms and numeric data for the corresponding bed will not be displayed.
For the telemetry transmitter and wireless bedside monitor, "Check Battery" mark and a square waveform will
be displayed to warn the low battery condition. But for the wired network bedside monitor, "Chk DS-LAN
Comm" message will be displayed without prior warning.Therefore, the wired network bedside monitor
should be operated by AC power source and not by battery. For the telemetry transmitter and wireless bedside
monitor, make sure that "Check Battery" mark is not displayed.
 Objective and constant arrhythmia detection is possible through the fixed algorithm. However, excessive
waveform morphology change, motion artifact, or the inability to determine the waveform pattern may cause
an error, or fail to make adequate detection. Therefore, physicians should make final decisions using manual
printing, alarm printing and recall waveform for evaluation.
 If the QRS pace mask function is set to [OFF], the pace pulse may be erroneously detected as a QRS complex,
and HR or asystole alarms may not generate due to incorrect HR measurement. Select [OFF] only if you are
sure that pacing failure will not occur, or when the patient can be constantly monitored.
 During TCON connection, make sure to set the channel ID before setting the ID. Miscommunication with a
