The responsible doctor decides whether the caregivers are able to
use VitaGuard® for monitoring and whether they can implement
appropriate measures in the event of an alarm.
3.1 Caregivers’ tasks
With “caregivers” we mean those persons who are responsible during
monitoring for the monitored patient’s well-being, for example:
parents or other members of the family,
babysitters, when they too have been thoroughly prepared for the
situation,
nurses and other medically trained staff.
Observe in particular the information in those sections of the oper-
ating instructions that, like here, address you directly.
Observe the extensive safety instructions at the beginning of the
section “Preparing for heart rate and apnea monitoring” on page 49.
VitaGuard® has no therapeutic effect. You may have to implement
resuscitation measures in the event of an alarm.
The potential applications of VitaGuard® for high-risk patients are
so many and diverse that we are unable to give any specific instruc-
tions on procedure in the event of an alarm. It is the doctor’s task to
inform high-risk patients and their caregivers in detail on the correct
procedure in this case.
An alarm chart is available from getemed AG when monitoring
children. This alarm chart presents a sequence of activities that are
considered suitable by many medical specialists and pediatricians.
Do not attempt to use VitaGuard® on more than one patient at a
time.
