Safety 21
Never modify settings without consulting the responsible doctor.
Only the doctor knows the correct alarm limits and monitor configu-
ration for each patient.
Never leave the patient’s room without first making sure that the
LEDs for heart and respiration are flashing.
Make absolutely sure that you can react to an alarm within a few
seconds. Move away from patients only so far that you can reach
them within ten seconds.
When you are not sure that VitaGuard® is in perfect operating order,
check the patient’s vital functions. Under no circumstances should
you use VitaGuard® when you suspect a device defect.
In the event of ANY suspected VitaGuard® malfunction, continue to
observe the patient until you can use a replacement monitor, or
VitaGuard® has been examined by the doctor or authorized dealer.
Stop using VitaGuard® after the servicing interval of eighteen
months has expired. Before the end of this period, make an ap-
pointment with your authorized dealer to check the safety and
operability of your device.
Test the acoustic alarm unit every time you switch on VitaGuard®.
This is explained in the section “Alarm test” on page 57.
CAUTION! When attaching the electrodes make sure that the plugs
do not touch any other electrically conducting parts. Make sure that
there can also be no contact with other electrically conducting parts
when the electrodes become detached during monitoring.
Treat all leads and connections with particular care, and never use
the connecting cables to lift VitaGuard®.
Switch off VitaGuard® before boarding an aircraft. When you want
to transport VitaGuard® in your luggage, you should remove the
batteries. This prevents other pieces of luggage from switching on
the device by accident. An activated, but disconnected VitaGuard®
will generate acoustic alarm signals.
