7.2 Safety
WARNING
z
Use only ECG electrodes and cables specified in this manual.
z
When connecting electrodes and/or patient cables, make sure that the connectors
never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular,
make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent
them from contacting conductive parts or earth.
z
Periodically inspect the electrode application site to ensure skin quality. If the skin
quality changes, replace the electrodes or change the application site.
z
Use defibrillator-proof ECG cables during defibrillation. When monitoring the
patient’s respiration, ESU-proof cables should not be used.
z
Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments during defibrillation.
z
After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct
electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
for use.
z
Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and electrosurgery
interference can cause problems with the waveform.
