WARNINGS

Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future upgrades must be carried out by the
personnel trained and authorized by our company only.

Do not come into contact with patients during defibrillation. Otherwise serious injury or death could result.

To reduce the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedure, ensure that the monitor’s cables
and transducers never come into contact with the high-frequency surgical units.

The neutral electrode of the electrosurgical unit shall properly contact the patient. Otherwise, burns may
result.

Do not touch the equipment’s metal parts or connectors when in contact with the patient; otherwise patient
injury may result.

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.

The physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the equipment are for reference only and cannot
be directly used for diagnostic interpretation.

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.

Ensure that the patient monitor is supplied with continuous electric power during work. Sudden power
failure leads to data loss.

When disposing of the package material, be sure to observe the applicable waste control regulations and
keep it out of children’s reach.

Remove the DC adapter from use in case of a damaged cable.

Never mix patient electrode types or brands. Dissimilar metals or other incompatibilities may cause
considerable baseline drift and may increase trace recovery time after defibrillation.
