Manual of OMNI Express Patient Monitor

037.007.0001 Rev.2
[WARNING]:
The user must check the equipment prior to use and ensure its safe and
proper use.
[WARNING]:
To ensure that the leakage current protection remains within the
specifications, use only the patient cables supplied with or specifically intended for use
with the OMNI Express Monitors. Carefully route patient cables to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
[WARNING]:
To ensure patient safety, DO NOT places the monitor in any position that
might cause it to fall on the patient.
[WARNING]:
For pacemaker patients, the OMNI Express may continue to count
pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. To reduce
the likelihood of this, ensure that the Pacer Detect setting is ON in the ECG menu
when monitoring such patients. DO NOT rely entirely upon the OMNI Express alarms.
Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
[WARNING]:
Connection of non-isolated devices to the RS-232 connector may cause
chassis leakage to exceed the specification standards.
[WARNING]:
Enclosure leakage current is less than 100 microamperes (
µ
A);
however, always consider additional leakage current that can be caused by other
equipment used on the patient at the same time as these monitors.
[WARNING]:
DO NOT use the OMNI Express to monitor patients who are linked to
heart/lung machines.
[WARNING]:
DO NOT autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse these monitors
in liquid. Use the cleaning solution sparingly. Excessive solution can flow into the
monitor and cause damage to internal components. Do not use petroleum-based or
acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to clean the monitor. These substances
attack the monitor
’s materials and device failure can result. Unplug the monitors
before cleaning or disinfecting.
[WARNING]:
To prevent electrical hazards to all personnel, these monitors must be
properly grounded. The chassis grounding assembly, Universal Switching Power
Supply, and the power cord supplied with the equipment provide this protection. DO
NOT attempt to undo this protection by modifying the cords or using ungrounded
adapters. DO NOT remove the monitor cover except to replace the battery.
[WARNING]
: Do not touch, press, or rub the display panels with abrasive cleaning
compounds, instruments, brushes, rough surface materials, or bring them into contact
with anything that could scratch the panel.
[WARNING]:
Connect the monitor only to a three-wire, grounded, hospital-grade
receptacle. The three-conductor plug must be inserted into a properly wired three-wire
receptacle; if a three-wire receptacle is not available, a qualified electrician must install
one in accordance with the governing electrical code.
