value will be diluted when used in combination with supplemental oxygen. To get a true EtCO

reading it is
recommended that the supplemental oxygen is disconnected for a few seconds.
Oximeter readings may be affected by the use of an electrosurgical unit (ESU).
This device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary,
the device should be observed carefully to verify normal operation.
Prior to connecting LifeSense to the power supply and the power outlet, be sure to verify the voltage and frequency
rating on the power supply are the same as the power outlet. If this is not the case, do not connect the monitor and
power supply to the power outlet.
Ensure that all alarm volumes are audible in all situations. Do not cover or obstruct any speaker openings.
The use of accessories other than those specified in this manual may result in increased electromagnetic emission
and/or decreased immunity of this device.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cables and connections to reduce the possibility of
entanglement, strangulation, or injury to the patient.
When turning on the monitor, verify that a beep is heard each time a button is pressed. If a beep is not heard, do not
use the device. The speaker may not be functioning properly.
Cautions
LifeSense should only be operated by trained licensed practitioners.
To prevent damage to the monitor, operate and store the monitor in an upright position.
Setting alarm limits to extremes can render the alarm system useless.
Secure LifeSense with mounting hardware if used in transport vehicles.
Do not mount LifeSense directly above the patient. If the monitor is mounted, be sure to check that the adjustable
mounting clamp is securely affixed.
When mounting the monitor to a mobile pole, mounting the monitor higher than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or mounting more
than 2 kilograms (4.5 pounds) of equipment onto the pole may result in tipping, damage to the equipment, or injury.
Always turn off the monitor prior to cleaning the monitor or changing the pulse oximeter sensor or moisture trap and/
or filter.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
The sample line, moisture trap, and filter are single-use disposable components. Do not disassemble the plastic parts
of the single-use disposable moisture trap. Dispose all components in accordance with your local, state or national
regulations regarding waste management.
