Note:
The following Warnings and Cautions are directed toward the ECG monitoring function.
Additional Warnings and Cautions for the

SELECT
monitor are found in the

User Manual, Zoe Medical PN 21-22-0316.
WARNINGS
Warning
:
The monitor is not intended for use in the following cases:
Apnea monitoring
In an MRI environment
Applications requiring automated arrhythmia detection
Applications requiring diagnostic-quality ECG
Warning:
–
DEFIBRILLATION
. To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during
patient defibrillation, do not come into contact with patient monitor or patient cables.
Additionally, proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the ECG electrodes is
required to minimize harm to the patient. Only use accessories approved by Zoe Medical for
use with the monitor.
Warning:
PACEMAKER PATIENTS
. Rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate
during occurrences of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon heart rate
meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. See the Technical Data
chapter for disclosure of the pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this instrument.
Warning:
PACEMAKER PATIENTS
. When Analyze Pacers is disabled, the Heart Rate may
continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest. Keep pacemaker
patients under close surveillance and do not rely entirely upon Heart Rate alarms.
Warning
:
ELECTROSURGERY
. The
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 to prevent burns to measurement sites.
To prevent burns to the patient in the event of a defective neutral ECG electrode of the
device, it is necessary to place ECG electrodes far from the neutral electrode, and as
equidistant as possible from the blade-neutral axis of the surgical patient monitor.
When activating the ESU device, the ECG signals may be distorted or may disappear, and
Lead Fail or Noise alarms might be present. The signal should return once the ESU
activation stops.
When activating the device, using the SpO
2
parameter as the heart rate source rather than
the ECG parameter to determine heart rate may be clinically preferred.
Only use accessories approved by Zoe Medical for use with the monitor.
Warning
:
ARRHYTHMIA PATIENTS
. The monitor
is designed to operate in the presence of
cardiac arrhythmias. However, the heart rate meter may be adversely affected in some
cases.
