Warnings
Warnings are identified by the WARNING symbol shown above.
Warnings alert the user to potential, serious outcomes (death, injury, or adverse
events) to the patient or user.
WARNING: The Oxinet
®
III system is not intended to be a substitute for
clinical supervision. Patients on life-support equipment should be
appropriately monitored by competent medical personnel and suitable
monitoring devices.
WARNING: The Oxinet III system is a secondary alarm notification system.
It is intended to supplement and not to replace any part of the hospital’s
device monitoring procedures (including procedures regarding bedside pulse
oximeters and responding to beside oximeter alarms). Do not rely on the
Oxinet III system as the sole source of oximeter alarms.
WARNING: It is essential that the Central Station be visually and/or audibly
monitored at all times to assure prompt response to alarms. Do not rely on
the pagers as the sole source of Oxinet III alarms.
WARNING: Do not ignore medical device audible alarms. Alarms indicate
conditions that require immediate attention.
WARNING: Do not use medical devices, parts, accessories, or options that
are not for use with the Oxinet III system.
WARNING: Users are not notified when the pager is out of range of the
transmitter.
