WARNING
The maintenance operations detailed in this manual must be fully and
accurately carried out. If these instructions are not followed this may cause
measurement errors and/or an incorrect test interpretation.
Any modifications, adjustments, repairs or reconfigurations must be made
by the manufacturer or by personnel authorised by the manufacturer. Never
attempt to make a repair on your own. The set-up of configurable parameters
should only be made by qualified personnel. However, an incorrect set-up of
the parameters in no way endagers the patient
’s health.
High-
frequency emissions from “electronic” devices may interfere with the
correct operation of the device. For this reason, certain minimum clearances
(a few meters) should be observed when high-frequency appliances such as
a TV, radio, portable phone, etc. and other electronic units are operated at
the same time in the same room.
The device may give inaccurate readings if operated in the presence of
strong electromagnetic sources, such as electrosurgical equipment, or in the
presence of computed tomography (CT) equipment.
Do not use the device in the presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
equipment. MRI equipment may cause an induced current to the oximetry
sensor, resulting in patient injury.
If the PC and/or the printer connected to the
SPIRODOC
come into contact
with the area containing patient data, ref. directive EN 60601-1-1, it is
necessary that they conform to the directive EN 60601-1.
