WARNING
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS—Extreme care must be
exercised when applying medical electrical equipment. Many parts
of the human/machine circuit are conductive, such as the patient,
connectors, electrodes, transducers. It is very important that these
conductive parts do not come into contact with other grounded,
conductive parts when connected to the isolated patient input of the
device. Such contact would bridge the patient's isolation and cancel
the protection provided by the isolated input. In particular, there
must be no contact of the neutral electrode and ground.
WARNING
DEFIBRILLATION—Do not come into contact with patients during
defibrillation. Otherwise serious injury or death could result.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TO CLEAR PATIENT DATA—When admitting a
new patient, you must clear all previous patient data from the
system. To accomplish this, disconnect patient cables then do a
discharge.
WARNING
DISCONNECTION FROM MAINS—When disconnecting the
system from the power line, remove the plug from the wall outlet
first. Then you may disconnect the power cord from the device. If
you do not observe this sequence, there is a risk of coming into
contact with line voltage by inserting metal objects, such as the pins
of leadwires, into the sockets of the power cord by mistake.
WARNING
DISPOSAL—Dispose of packaging material, observing the
applicable waste control regulations and keeping it out of children's
reach.
WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD—Do not use this equipment in the
presence of flammable anesthetics, vapors or liquids.
