Safety 23
the VitaGuard®’s alarm outlet should not be obstructed by any
objects that absorb sound.
Never place VitaGuard® or the power adapter such that they could
fall on the patient. For example, the power adapter could become
detached from an overhead socket when the cable is pulled.
Do not immerse either VitaGuard® or the accessories in liquids.
Variations in temperature and air humidity could lead to condensation
forming in and on VitaGuard®. Wait for at least two hours after Vita-
Guard® has visibly dried on the outside before using it for monitoring.
Do not operate VitaGuard® in environments containing explosive
gases, flammable substances, nitrous gases, or highly oxygen-en-
riched atmospheres. Do not use VitaGuard® at extreme temperatures
below 5 °C or above 40 °C. Do not place VitaGuard® near heat sources
such as radiators, ovens, etc. Do not expose it to direct sunlight.
Always lay all cables and in particular any extension cables so that
nobody can trip over them.
Do not place VitaGuard® directly next to the patient’s head: risk of
hearing damage!
3.3.2 Noise risks to monitoring
When the alarm cannot be set to a volume that is sufficiently above
the prevailing ambient noise levels, you must keep VitaGuard® and
its display within view. The visual signals from the alarm LED and
display must then be relied upon to recognize critical situations.
You can also use the external alarm unit available from getemed AG
that raises the volume of the alarm signals from VitaGuard®.
Information on the alarm signal types and volumes can be found in
“Alarms, displays, and views during monitoring” on page 57. The
alarm pitch is set as explained in the section “
System
menu – general
settings” on page 72.
