ECG module warnings and cautions
In addition to the preceding warnings and cautions, consider the following when using
the ECG module.
WARNING
Liquids can damage electronics inside the ECG module.
Prevent liquids from spilling on the ECG module.
If liquids are spilled on the ECG module, remove it from service.
Note
The module provides no protection against liquid ingress.
WARNING
Do not operate the Connex device and ECG module near
equipment that emits strong electromagnetic or radio-frequency signals.
Electronic equipment of this type can cause electrical interference with
device operation, which can distort the ECG signal and prevent accurate
rhythm analysis.
WARNING
Patient safety risk. Life-threatening arrhythmias can trigger one
of two optional high alarm tones for ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach),
ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib), and asystole. If you are monitoring a patient
for life-threatening arrhythmias, verify the alarm tone that your facility or
floor has chosen.
WARNING
Patient injury risk. Do not perform waveform analysis on the
ECG acquisition display as these ECG representations are not true to scale.
Make manual measurements of ECG intervals and magnitudes on printed
ECG reports only.
WARNING
The arrhythmia analysis program is intended to detect V-Tach,
V-Fib, and asystole. It is not intended to detect other arrhythmias.
Occasionally it may incorrectly identify the presence or absence of an
arrhythmia. Therefore a physician must analyze the arrhythmia information
in conjunction with other clinical findings.
WARNING
Arrhythmia detection (for V-Tach, V-Fib, and asystole) and
impedance respiration are not intended for neonatal patients.
WARNING
Computer-assisted ECG data acquisition and interpretation is a
valuable tool when used properly. However, no automated interpretation is
completely reliable and a qualified physician shall review the interpretations
before treatment, or non-treatment, of any patient. The ECG module must
be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. This device is
only intended to be an adjunct in patient assessment. Certain arrhythmias
or pacemaker signals could adversely affect heart rate indications or
alarms.
WARNING
Patient injury risk. The data captured from this device should
not be used as a sole means for determining a patient’s diagnosis or
prescribing treatment.
