General warnings and cautions
WARNING
Many environmental variables, including patient physiology and
clinical application, can affect the accuracy and performance of the Connex
device and ECG module. Therefore, you must verify all vital signs
information before treating the patient. If there is any question about the
accuracy of a measurement, verify the measurement using another
clinically accepted method.
WARNING
To comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
RF exposure requirements and to avoid exposure to radio-frequency (RF)
radiation, always use the monitor in accordance with the operating
conditions and instructions provided in this manual.
WARNING
Always check the patient mode (adult, pediatric, or neonate)
when monitoring a new patient. The patient mode determines default
alarm limits and internal algorithm settings. Alarm limits are patient-
specific. Make sure the monitor has settings that are appropriate before
monitoring the patient. For alarms to function properly, you must set or
verify alarm limits appropriate for each patient. Each time the Connex
device is powered on, you must check that the alarm settings are
appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.
