Chapter 2: Safety
Equipment Safety Information
The following table contains warnings for this manual. A Warning statement is used when the possibility of injury
to the patient or the operator exists.
WARNING
Do not place Mini-telemetry Transmitter on Receiver’s cavity while using Telemetry. There are
chances of faulty/erratic parametric readings being displayed on the monitor.
WARNING
Periodically check for ECG QRS complex trace if the monitor has an option for displaying waveform.
If random FHR / MHR / UA is observed on the strip chart paper /monitor display, please re-check the
transducer position. If the base line noise of ECG trace is observed to be high, there are chances of
faulty random FHR being displayed on the monitor.
WARNING
ACCIDENTAL SPILLS—In the event that fluids are accidentally spilled on the equipment, take the
equipment out of operation and inspect for damage.
WARNING
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS—Avoid making any conductive connections to applied parts (patient
connection) which are likely to degrade safety.
WARNING
CONDUCTIVE PARTS—Ensure that the conductive parts of the lead electrodes and associated
connectors do not contact other conductive parts including earth.
WARNING
DEFIBRILLATION—This equipment is not designed for use with defibrillators.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK—To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove equipment covers.
Contact qualified personnel for servicing.
WARNING
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE—Be aware that strong electromagnetic fields may interfere
with equipment operation. Interference prevents the clear reception of signals by the device. If the
hospital is close to a strong transmitter such as TV, AM or FM radio, police or fire stations, a HAM
radio operator, an airport, pager or cellular phone, their signals could be picked up as signals by the
equipment. If you feel interference is affecting the equipment, contact your Service Representative
to check the equipment in your environment.
WARNING
ELECTROSURGERY—The equipment is not designed for use with high-frequency surgical devices. In
addition, measurements may be affected in the presence of strong electromagnetic sources such
as electrosurgery equipment.
