1 - 2 Defibrillator/Monitor Operator’s Manual
•
Ensure that the equipment is supplied with continuous electric power during work. Sudden power
failure leads to the loss of patient data.
•
Use and store the equipment in specified environmental condition. The equipment and accessories
may not meet the performance specification due to aging, stored or used outside the specified
temperature and humidity range.
•
This equipment is used for single patient at a time.
•
The equipment is not intended to be used within the Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment.
•
Before each use, the operator must check the equipment condition to ensure that the equipment is
ready for operation.
•
Medical electrical equipment which does not incorporate defibrillator protection should be
disconnected during defibrillation.
•
Do not defibrillate a patient who lies on the wet ground.
•
Do not touch the patient and live parts simultaneously.
•
Do not touch the patient when connecting the peripheral equipment via the I/O signal ports to
prevent patient leakage current from exceeding the requirements specified by the standard.
•
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm
volume to a low level or off may result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that alarm settings
should be customized according to different patient situations and always keeping the patient
under close surveillance is the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
•
Do not perform any functional check if the equipment is connected with a patient; otherwise the
patient might be shocked.
•
Remain attentive to the patient during applying therapy. Delay in delivering a shock may result in a
rhythm that was analyzed as shockable converting spontaneously to non-shockable and could
result in inappropriate delivery of a shock.
•
For the treatment of patients with implantable pacemakers, place electrode pads or paddles away
from internal pacemaker generator if possible to help prevent damage to the pacemaker.
•
Do not place the equipment or accessories in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient.
•
Do not start or operate the equipment unless the setup was verified to be correct.
•
To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap
and secure excess cabling to reduce risk of entanglement or strangulation by patients or personnel.
•
If any measurement seems questionable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means and
then check the equipment for proper functioning.
•
Physiological data and alarm messages provided by the equipment should not be used as the sole
basis for diagnosis or therapy decisions. They must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and
symptoms. Misinterpretation of the measured values or other parameters can endanger the patient.
•
Do not touch device connectors, recorder print head, battery connector or other live equipment if in
contact with the patient; otherwise patient injury may result.
•
To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories specified in this manual.
•
When disposing of the packaging material, be sure to observe the applicable waste control
regulations and keep it out of children’s reach.
1.1.3 Cautions
CAUTION
N •
Use of Manual Therapy security password requires the clinician to know and remember the
password. Failure to enter correct password will prevent the delivery of manual defibrillation,
synchronized cardioversion and pacing therapy.
•
At the end of its service life, the equipment, as well as its accessories, must be disposed of in
compliance with the guidelines regulating the disposal of such products to avoid contaminating the
environment.
•
Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance of the
equipment. For this reason make sure that all external devices operated in the vicinity of the
equipment comply with the relevant EMC requirements. Mobile phones, X-ray equipment or MRI
