Safety Summary
The following is a short summary of warnings, cautions and other safety information related to the
IBP option. Additional warnings and cautions are in the text of this insert. Read this section thoroughly
before operating the IBP Option.
• Read the
M Series Operator’s Guide
and this manual insert before use.
• The M Series IBP option is to be operated by qualified personnel only.
• Consult a physician for the proper interpretation of pressure measurements.
• Do not use in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics or other flammable
agents (such as gasoline). Do not use near the site of a gasoline spill. Explosion may result.
• The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified in this manual, with the
exception of transducers and cables sold by ZOLL as replacement parts for internal components,
may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the M Series.
• Route patient cabling and tubing carefully to avoid patient entanglement, strangulation or
compression of tube.
• Keep patients as still as possible during measurement. Patient movement or vibrations from
outside sources, particularly moving vehicles, can degrade the measurement accuracy.
• Avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites by ensuring proper connection of the
electrosurgery return circuit to ground. If improperly connected, some electrosurgery units allow
other return paths to earth ground, even through fully isolated patient circuits in equipment
operating from ac mains. If necessary, operate the monitor on battery power only to prevent a
return to earth ground through the monitor.
• Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment connected to the patient during defibrillation. A
severe shock to the operator can result.
• Do not allow exposed portions of the patient’s body to come in contact with metal objects, such
as a bed frame during defibrillation. Unwanted electrical pathways can result.
• If an alarm occurs while the alarms are suspended, audio alarms do not sound, only visual alarms
display.
