Entropy warnings
WARNING
Make sure that the electrodes, sensor and connectors do not
touch any electrically conductive material, including earth.
WARNING
When using an electrosurgery unit, note that the
measurement cables do not incorporate means to protect
against burns in case of a defective ESU return electrode. To
avoid burns at the monitor measurement sites, ensure the
following:
●
Proper contact of the ESU return electrode to the patient.
●
ESU return electrode near the operating area.
●
Measurement electrodes, leadwires and probes far from
the surgical site and the ESU return electrode.
WARNING
— DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS — Patient signal inputs
labeled with the CF and BF symbols with paddles are
protected against damage resulting from defibrillation
voltages. To ensure proper defibrillator protection, use only
the recommended cables and leadwires.
The yellow general warning symbol on the module refers to
this warning.
WARNING
— DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS — Proper placement of
defibrillator pads in relation to the electrodes is required to
ensure successful defibrillation.
