Introduction
Notes
1-12
CAUTION
SUPERVISED USE —This equipment is intended for use under the
direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner.
CAUTION
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS — Set up the device in a
location which affords sufficient ventilation. The ventilation
openings of the device must not be obstructed. The ambient
conditions specified in the technical specifications must be ensured
at all times.
Note statements provide application tips or other useful information.
The following note statements apply to this monitoring system:
Put the monitor in a location where you can easily see the screen and access the
operating controls.
This product is not likely to cause abnormal operation of other patient-connected
equipment such as cardiac pacemaker or other electrical stimulators. Exceptions
are noted in the pacemaker monitoring section, if applicable.
This product is protected against the effects of cardiac defibrillator discharges to
ensure proper recovery, as required by test standards. (The screen may blank
during a defibrillator discharge but recovers within seconds as required by test
standards.)
This equipment is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery.
Users should be aware of a possible time discrepancy between the waveforms
from the telemetry device and the waveforms hardwired to the monitor. Users
should not consider these waveforms to be synchronous. If absolute
synchronicity is desired, COMBO mode should be discontinued and the ECG
waveforms should be acquired via the hardwired bedside monitor.
The ambient conditions specified in the technical specifications of the service
manual must be ensured at all times.
Connect the power cord supplied with the monitor. Use only the original cord or
an equivalent one.
For measurements in or near the heart, GE recommends connecting the monitor
to the equipotential stud. Use the green and yellow potential equalization cable
and connect it to the equipotential stud on the back of the monitor.
Contact customer service engineers to connect monitors to a central station.
Monitors may be shipped with protective covers to protect unused parameter
connector inputs from dust and liquids. Do not remove the protective covers; the
parameter connectors will not function without them.
