WARNING
When installing the pulse oximeter’s AC power cord, ensure the cord is carefully
positioned to prevent tripping and entanglement.
Cautions
Caution
Observe standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions when disassembling,
reassembling, and when handling any of the components of the oximeter.
Caution
When installing the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter power supply or the Main Board PCB,
tighten the seven screws (4-in lbs. maximum). Overtightening could strip out the screw
holes in the bottom case, rendering it unusable.
Caution
When reassembling the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter, tighten the screws that hold the
cases together (10-in lbs. maximum). Overtightening could strip out the screw holes in the
top case, rendering it unusable.
Caution
Signal artifact, secondary to a variety of external factors, may compromise the presence or
accuracy of the displayed oximeter values.
Caution
When connecting the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter to any instrument, verify proper
operation before clinical use. Both the pulse oximeter and the instrument connected to it
must utilize a grounded outlet. Accessory equipment connected to the pulse oximeter’s data
interface must be certified according to
IEC Standard 60950 -1: 2005 for data-processing
equipment or IEC Standard 60601-1:1988 + A1:1991 + A2:1995 for electromedical
equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard
60601-1-1:2000 Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems. Anyone connecting additional
equipment to the signal input port or signal output port (data port connector) is configuring
a medical system and, therefore, is responsible for ensuring that the system complies with
the Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems IEC Standard 60601-1-1:2000 and the
electromagnetic compatibility IEC Standard 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004. Oximeter accuracy
may degrade if it is connected to secondary I/O devices when the equipment is not
connected to earth reference.
Caution
Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Caution
Dispose of battery in accordance with local requirements and regulations.
