ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE HAZARDS
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE WITH DEVICE PERFORMANCE
Equipment operating in close proximity may emit strong
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference (RFI), which could
affect the performance of this device. If use of equipment in close
proximity is necessary, observe the device to verify normal operation in
the configuration in which the device will be used. RFI may result in
distorted ECG, incorrect ECG lead status, failure to detect a shockable
rhythm, cessation of pacing, or incorrect vital sign measurements. Avoid
operating the device near cauterizers, diathermy equipment, or other
portable and mobile RF communications equipment. Do not rapidly key
EMS radios on and off. Refer to Appendix D in the Operating
Instructions for recommended distances of equipment. Contact
Physio-Control Technical Support if assistance is required.
