Safety Cautions
Cautions are identified by the CAUTION symbol shown above.
Cautions alert you to exercise care necessary for the safe and effective
use of the N
- 600x pulse oximeter.
Caution: When connecting the N-600x to any instrument, verify
proper operation before clinical use. Both the N-600x and the
instrument connected to it must be connected to a grounded
outlet. Accessory equipment connected to the pulse oximeter’s
data interface must be certified according to IEC Standard 60950
for data-processing equipment or IEC Standard 60601-1 for
electromedical equipment. All combinations of equipment must
be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1 systems
requirements. Anyone who connects additional equipment to the
signal input port or signal output port (N-600x data port
connector) configures a medical system and is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the
requirements of system standard IEC Standard 60601-1-1 and
the electromagnetic compatibility system standard IEC Standard
60601-1-2. The N-600x accuracy may degrade if it is connected to
secondary I/O devices when the instrument 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.
