PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
PRECAUTION:
Moving the Patient while Responder 2000 is attached
During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the patient may cause the Responder 2000 to improperly analyze
the patient’s cardiac rhythm. Stop all motion or vibration before attempting to use the Responder 2000.
PRECAUTION:
Systems Statement
Equipment connected to the Responder 2000 must be certified to the respective IEC Standards (i.e. IEC 950 for data
processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the
system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Anybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part
configures a medical system, and is therefore, responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the system
standard IEC 60601-1-1. The Responder 2000 Service Port is only intended for use during maintenance by authorized
service personnel.
PRECAUTION:
Monitors, defibrillators, and their accessories (including pads and cables) contain ferromagnetic materials
and must not be used in the presence of the high magnetic field created by a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) device.
The high magnetic field created by an MRI device will interact with ferromagnetic equipment that may cause serious injury
to persons between the equipment and the MRI device. Skin burns will also occur due to heating of electrically conductive
materials, such as patient leads and pulse oximeter sensors. Consult the MRI manufacturer for more information on
interaction with ferromagnetic materials and equipment.
PRECAUTION:
Observe the ECG rhythm. Confirm that the full length sync bar appears near the middle of each QRS
complex. If the sync bars do not appear or are displayed in the wrong locations change the lead source.
