Safety precautions
Warnings
•
Make sure that the leadwire set clips or snaps do not touch any electrically conductive
material including earth.
•
Whenever patient defibrillation is a possibility, use non-polarizing (silver/silver chloride
construction) electrodes for ECG monitoring
•
Single-use devices and accessories are not designed to be reused. Reuse may cause a
risk of contamination and affect the measurement accuracy.
•
Proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the electrodes is required to
ensure successful defibrillation.
•
To ensure proper defibrillator protection, use only defibrillator proof transducers and
cables.
•
Set the pacemaker rate responsive mode off or turn off the impedance respiration
measurement on the monitor.
•
Do not use equipment for positioning (floating) temporary pacemaker leadwires,
performing pericardiocentesis, or other internal applications.
•
HEART RATE ALARM INTERFERENCE - Poor cable positioning or improper electrode
preparation may cause line isolation monitor transients to resemble actual cardiac
waveforms and thus inhibit heart rate alarms. To minimize this problem, follow proper
electrode placement and cable positioning guidelines provided with this product.
•
Do not use the electrodes of dissimilar metals.
Cautions
•
When using the electrosurgery unit, ensure proper contact of the ESU return electrode to
the patient to avoid possible burns at monitor measurement sites. Also ensure that the
ESU return electrode is near the operating area.
•
Patient's skin may become irritated after long contact with electrode gel or adhesive
•
The impedance respiration measurement may cause rate changes in Minute Ventilation
Rate Responsive Pacemakers.
