Introduction Warnings
x 0070- 0-0704-02 Passport V Operating Instructions
WARNING: Due to physiologic differences in the patient population, the
Passport V may occasionally not alarm or may sound a false
alarm for some arrhythmia patterns. The arrhythmia analysis
feature is intended to detect ventricular rhythms only. High-risk
patients should be kept under close surveillance.
WARNING: Trace Gas Hazard - When using the optional Gas Module, a
health hazard exists when trace amounts of vaporized
anesthetic agents are chronically inspired by operating room
personnel. See Appendix A in NFPA 56A on Inhalation
Anesthetics. During any procedure where such agents are
employed, the Gas Module exhaust output should be connected
to a medical gas-scavenging system.
WARNING: Connection of the Gas Module exhaust port to the hospital’s
waste gas scavenging system is strongly recommended to
prevent exposure of hospital personnel to the patient’s
respiratory sample. Vacuum (negative pressure) should not
exceed 1 mmHg at the Gas Module Pump Exhaust fitting.
Excessive scavenge vacuum may result in damage to the Gas
Module’s internal pump.
WARNING: When monitoring CO
2
, the maximum sampling rate at the
nasal cannula is 150ml/min with the DPM CO
2
module. This
device should not be used on patients whose breathing could
be impaired by these vacuum flow rates.
WARNING: When monitoring an anesthesized patient in an operating room
environment, connection from the exhaust port of the Passport
V to the hospital’s waste gas scavenging system is
recommended to prevent exposure of hospital personnel to the
patient’s respiratory sample.
WARNING: When using the Gas Module, the maximum sampling rate at
the nasal cannula is 200 ml/min (120 ml/min for Gas Module 3
with a neonatal water trap). This device should not be used on
patients whose breathing could be impaired by this vacuum
flow rate.
WARNING: Operation of the Passport 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
Passport V. It can also cause delayed recovery of the monitor
after the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator.
