Warnings
WARNINGS
ACCIDENTAL SPILLS — To avoid electric shock or device
malfunction liquids must not be allowed to enter the device. If
liquids have entered a device, take it out of service and have it
checked by a service technician before it is used again.
ACCURACY — If the accuracy of any value displayed on the
monitor, central station, or printed on a graph strip is
questionable, determine the patient's vital signs by alternative
means. Verify that all equipment is working correctly.
ALARMS — Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm
system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to
a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in a
hazard to the patient. Remember that the most reliable method
of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with
correct operation of monitoring equipment.
After connecting the monitor to the central station and/or
nurse-call system, verify the function of the alarm system.
The functions of the alarm system for monitoring the patient
must be verified at regular intervals.
BEFORE USE — Before putting the system into operation
visually inspect all connecting cables for signs of damage.
Damaged cables and connectors must be replaced immediately.
Before using the system, the operator must verify that it is in
correct working order and operating condition.
Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the product is in
doubt, test all functions.
CABLES — Route all cables away from patient's throat to
avoid possible strangulation.
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS — Extreme care must be
exercised when applying medical electrical equipment. Many
parts of the man/machine circuit are conductive, such as the
patient, connectors, electrodes, transducers. It is very
important that these conductive parts do not come into contact
with other grounded, conductive parts when connected to the
insulated patient input of the device. Such contact would
bridge the patient's insulation and cancel the protection
provided by the insulated input. In particular, there must be no
contact of the neutral electrode and ground.
