Liteplus is a prescription device and is to be
operated by qualifi ed personnel only. It is designed for use by medical
clinicians. Although this document might illustrate medical monitoring
techniques, the monitor must be used only by trained clinicians who know
how to take and interpret a patient’s vital signs.
WARNING: In the USA, do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch because the device may be accidentally turned off.
WARNING: As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to
reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety, do not place the monitor in any position
that might cause it to fall on the patient.
WARNING: Do not lift the monitor by the sensor cables or power cord
because the cable could disconnect from the monitor, causing the monitor to
drop on the patient.
WARNING: Disconnect the monitor and sensors/cables during magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. Using the monitor during MRI may cause
burns or adversely affect the MRI image or the monitor’s accuracy.
WARNING: To ensure accurate performance or prevent device failure do not
subject the monitor to extreme moisture, such as direct exposure to rain.
Such exposure may cause inaccurate performance or device failure
