Indications for Use
• The use of accessories, sensors, and cables other than those listed in this
manual may result in increased electromagnetic emission and/or decreased
immunity of this device.
• To comply with relevant product safety standards, ensure that all alarm
volumes are set appropriately and are audible in all situations. Do not cover
or otherwise hinder any speaker openings.
• This device is a precision electronic instrument and must be repaired by
qualified technical professionals. Field repair of the device is not possible. Do
not attempt to open the case or repair the electronics. Opening the case may
damage the device and void the warranty.
Cautions
• This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2:2001 for electromagnetic
compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or systems. This standard
is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a typical medical installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-
frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in
healthcare and other environments, it is possible that high levels of such
interference due to close proximity or strength of a source might disrupt the
performance of this device. Medical electrical equipment needs special
precautions regarding EMC, and all equipment must be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information specified in this manual.
• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment.
• If this device fails to respond as described, discontinue use until the situation
is corrected by qualified technical professionals.
• The sensor might not work on cold extremities due to reduced circulation.
Warm or rub the finger to increase circulation, or reposition the sensor.
• Do not gas sterilize or autoclave this device.
• Batteries might leak or explode if used or disposed of improperly.
• This device has motion tolerant software that minimizes the likelihood of
motion artifact being misinterpreted as good pulse quality. In some
circumstances, however, the device may still interpret motion as good pulse
quality.
• Inspect the sensor application site at least every 6 to 8 hours to ensure
correct sensor alignment and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity to sensors
and/or double-backed adhesive strips may vary due to medical status or skin
condition.
• Do not place liquids on top of this device.
