Introduction
2026419-033E CIC Pro™ 1-5
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK— To avoid electric shock, the CIC Pro center
and its accessories should not be placed within the patient
environment, which is a volume related to an object (bed, chair,
table, treadmill, etc.) where a patient is intended to be diagnosed,
monitored, or treated.
WARNING
ACCESSORIES (SUPPLIES) — To ensure patient safety, use only
parts and accessories recommended by GE.
WARNING
ACCIDENTAL SPILLS — To avoid electric shock or device
malfunction, liquids must not be allowed to enter the device. If
liquids have entered a device, take it out of service and have it
checked by a service technician before it is used again.
WARNING
ACCURACY — If the accuracy of any value displayed on the
screen or printed on a graph strip is questionable, first determine the
patient's vital signs by alternative means. Then, verify the CIC Pro
center and printer are working correctly.
WARNING
ALARMS — Do NOT rely exclusively on the audible alarm system
for Bedside Monitoring. Adjustment of CIC Pro center alarm
volume to a low level or OFF during Bedside Monitoring may result
in inability to hear the alarm and a hazard to the patient. Remember
that the most reliable method of Bedside Monitoring combines close
personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring
equipment.
After connecting the monitor to the central station and/or nurse-
alert, verify the function of the alarm system. Repeat this
verification periodically, including a check of all connected
speakers.
CIC Pro center audible alarms will not sound for patients with
bedside monitoring devices configured to “Operating Room” mode.
The functions of the alarm system for monitoring of the patient must
be verified at regular intervals. Check speaker volume periodically
to ensure audio alarm functionality.
