Cautions
Introduction
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturers instructions and
local regulations. Batteries used in this device may present a
risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not incinerate
battery, possible explosion may occur.
WARNING: Do not use a damaged or broken unit or accessory.
WARNING: Operation of the Accutorr V below the minimum amplitude
or value of patient physiological signal may cause
inaccurate results.
WARNING: Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those
specified in the manual may result in increased
Electromagnetic Emissions or decreased Electromagnetic
Immunity of the Accutorr V. It can also cause delayed
recovery after the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator.
WARNING: Perform the decontamination or cleaning process with the
unit powered down and power cord removed.
WARNING: Use only authorized single use disposable probe covers
when taking temperature measurements. Use of any other
probe cover may result in erroneous readings or damage to
the probe.
Cautions
CAUTION:
Observe extreme caution when a defibrillator is in use. Do
not touch any part of the patient, table, or monitor when a
defibrillator is in use. The Accutorr V should not be used
adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or
stacked use is necessary, the Accutorr V should be observed
to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it
will be used.
CAUTION:
The unit should be checked periodically for obstructed vents.
If an obstruction is found, refer the unit to qualified service
personnel.
