Precautions
General
Electrosurgery. The Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor is suitable for use in the presence of
electrosurgical (ESU) equipment. The following precautions should be taken:
• To minimize the risk of patient burns, only use ESU equipment that monitors the
impedance of the ESU return wires.
• Users should be properly trained in the operation of the ESU equipment.
• Keep patient applied cables (e.g. ECG lead wires) off of earth ground and away
from the ESU knife and return wires.
• Only use Invivo Research recommended accessories.
• While cutting, use the SpO2 parameter instead of the ECG parameter to determine
heart rate.
Alarm Monitoring. Failure to respond to alarms that are annunciated by the Escort M8 Vital
Signs Monitor will cause a lapse in patient monitoring. Always respond promptly to alarms.
Flammable Anesthetics. An explosion hazard exists if the monitor is used in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
Anesthesia Patients. Constant attention by a qualified individual is needed whenever a patient is
under anesthesia or connected to a ventilator.
Device Interconnections. Through its Network Connector port, the Escort M8 Vital Signs
Monitor can be connected to external devices. The following precautions should be taken:
• The Network Connector cable should not be applied to the patient.
• Connected devices should be located outside of the patient vicinity (greater than
1.5 meters) if they do no comply with IEC 60601-1.
• The Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor should not be connected to devices that are not
described in this manual.
• The over-all system leakage current should be tested and should comply with IEC
60601-1-1.
Do not operate the Escort M8 Vital Signs Monitor near high frequency emissions (e.g.
microwaves).
Single use devices should not be reused.
The accuracy of the measurements can be affected by the position of the patient, the patient’s
physiological condition, and other factors. Always consult a physician for interpretation of
measurements made by this monitor.
If any system failure occurs (e.g. an unexplained continuous audible alarm) remove the monitor
from use, and refer it to qualified service personnel.
Perform operational checkout before each use. If monitor fails to function properly, refer to
qualified service personnel.
For safe and accurate operation, use only recommended Invivo Research patient cable, lead wires,
cuffs, hoses, sensors, tubing, etc. A listing of these can be found in the Accessory Listing within
this manual, or by contacting Invivo Research directly.
The system may not conform to all performance specifications if stored or used outside the
environmental specifications identified in Section 12.
For proper equipment maintenance, perform the service procedures at the recommended intervals
as described in the monitor’s service manual.
