Introduction
Chapter 8 - Test and Inspection Matrix 79
Caution
General-purpose personal computers and modems are not designed to
meet the electrical safety requirements of medical devices. The RS-232 and
parallel connectors on the monitor are electrically isolated to permit safe
connections to non-medical devices, which should be connected with a
cable of sufficient length to prevent the non-medical equipment from
contacting the patient.
If a non-medical device is connected to the serial port, a recorder or
printer connected at the same time to the parallel port should be located
outside the patient vicinity, as the two interfaces are not isolated against
each other.
