Considerations of IBP monitoring
Warning
The chosen accessory, if applied, should confirm to safety requirements of medical equipment.
Warning
In connection and application, accessories should be avoided from contacting metal parts
connected with electric apparatus.
Warning
Users, when connecting the monitor with a high-frequency surgical instrument, should avoid
the sensor and cable of the monitor from contacting the high-frequency surgical instrument so
as to prevent patients from being burnt in case of electricity leakage.
Warning
The disposable pressure sensor should not be reused.
