equipment, connecting cables and accessories are in correct working order and
operating condition.

protective earth contacts only. If the installation does not provide for a protective
earth conductor, disconnect it from the power line and operate it on battery power,
if possible.

anesthetics, vapors or liquids.

patient situations and always keeping the patient under close surveillance is the
most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.

stumbling hazard. Wrap and secure excess cabling to reduce risk of entanglement
or strangulation by patients or personnel.
