WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST—When interfacing with other
equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed by qualified
biomedical engineering personnel before using with patients.
WARNING
PATIENT AMBULATION —A patient must be assisted if
ambulating with a roll-stand mounted monitor.
WARNING
POWER SUPPLY—The device must be connected to a properly
installed power outlet with protective earth contacts only. If the
installation does not provide for a protective earth conductor,
disconnect the monitor from the power line and operate it on battery
power, if possible.
All devices of a system must be connected to the same power supply
circuit. Devices which are not connected to the same circuit must be
electrically isolated when operated.
WARNING
PROTECTED LEADWIRES —Only use protected leadwires and
patient cables with this monitor.
The use of unprotected leadwires and patient cables creates the
potential for making an electrical connection to ground or to a high
voltage power source which can cause serious injury or death to the
patient.
WARNING
RATE METERS—Keep pacemaker patients under close
observation. Rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate
during cardiac arrest and some arrhythmias. Therefore, do not rely
entirely on rate meter alarms.
