Precautions, Restrictions and Warnings
The CardioMax is a device built according to NBR and IEC standards and therefore
offers total safety for patient and operator. However, all safety precautions de-
scribed below must be followed.
The monitor's operation can be affected by the presence of electromagnetic
power sources, such as electrosurgical equipment and computer tomography
(CT).
1 - ECG
1 -
To guarantee protection against the effects of a defibrillation, use only the patient
cable that accompanies the equipment.
2 -
If the monitor is used simultaneously with an electric scalpel, position the ECG
electrodes as far as possible from the RF current route, between the surgical
field and the neutral card. Do not use needle type ECG electrode during surgical
procedures.
2 - SpO
2
1 -
A operação deste dispositivo pode ser afetada pela presença de fontes de en-
ergia eletromagnética, tais como equipamentos eletrocirúrgicos ou de computação
tomográfica (CT). Pode ser prejudicada pela presença de luz ambiente forte. Sendo
necessário, proteja a área do sensor (por exemplo, com uma toalha cirúrgica).
2 -
Any dyes injected into the blood stream, such as methylene blue, indocaine
green, indigo carmine and fluorescein, may affect the SpO
2
reading precision.
The presence of dyshemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin (in consequence of
carbon monoxide poisoning) or methemoglobin (in consequence of sulfonamide’s
treatment) may affect the SpO
2
reading precision.
3 - Electromagnetic compatibility
Warning:
Installing the CardioMax requires special precautions concerning electromag-
netic compatibility according to the information contained in this manual.
Mobile and portable RF communications equipment, such as mobile phones,
can affect the CardioMax’s functioning.
Maximum length of accessories cables - in compliance with electromagnetic
compatibility requirements:
