Trio™ Operating Instructions
Warnings
WARNING: Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or
with nitrous oxide.
WARNING: The AC line cord and interface cables (i.e. non-patient
cables) may utilize the same ground. Therefore, removal of
the AC line cord does not necessarily isolate the Trio, if non-
patient interface cables are attached.
WARNING: Observe extreme caution when a defibrillator is used on a
patient. Do not touch any part of patient, table or monitor
when a defibrillator is in use.
WARNING: Route cables neatly. Ensure cables, hoses, and wires are
away from patient’s neck to avoid strangulation. Keep
floors and walkways free of cables to reduce risk to
hospital personnel, patients and visitors.
WARNING: This monitor is not intended for use in an MR environment.
WARNING: When using electrosurgery equipment, leads should be
placed equidistant from electrosurgery electrotome and the
grounding plate to avoid cautery. Ensure that wires from
electrosurgery equipment and ECG cables do not become
tangled.
WARNING: The Trio monitor is intended for hospital use under the direct
supervision of a licensed health care practitioner.
WARNING: Ensure that the conductive parts of ECG electrodes do not
contact other conductive parts, including earth ground.
WARNING: Pacemaker patients’ rate meters may continue to count the
pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest or
some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon rate meter
alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
See Appendix section of this manual for disclosure of the
pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this instrument.
WARNING: Do not clean the monitor or sensors while it is on and/or
connected to AC power.
WARNING: Ensure that the ECG lead wires are neatly secured in a
manner that will prevent them from encircling the patient’s
neck, creating a strangulation hazard.
WARNING: Perform the decontamination process with the unit powered
down and power cord removed.
