Page 14: About This Device
Temperature: Welch Allyn SureTemp Plus or Exergen ® The model of the VC150 vital signs monitor determines which parameters are available in your monitor. Please refer to applicable sections. Using the VC150 vital signs monitor, a caregiver can measure, display and record patient vital sign data that is derived from each parameter.
Page 15: Intended Use
Introduction: Intended use Intended use The VC150 is intended to monitor a single patient's vital signs at the site of care or during intra-hospital transport. The noninvasive oscillometric blood pressure parameter is intended for measurement of systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure, as well as pulse rate, for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
Page 16: Contraindications
Introduction: Contraindications "Portable" refers to the ability of the VC150 to be easily moved by the caregiver, such as on a roll stand. The VC150 is not intended to be used for continuous monitoring during patient transport. CAUTION This device is not intended for home use. Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Page 17: Safety Precautions
WARNINGS To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories manufactured specified in the VC150 supplies and accessories manual. Parts and accessories used shall meet the requirements of IEC 60601-1. Disposable devices are intended for single use only. They should not be reused.
