ACCIDENTAL SPILLS—In the event that fluids are
accidentally spilled on the equipment, take the
equipment out of operation and inspect for damage.
APPLICATION—This equipment is not designed for
direct cardiac connection.
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS—Avoid making any
conductive connections to applied parts (patient
connection) which are likely to degrade safety.
CONDUCTIVE PARTS—Ensure that the conductive
parts of the lead electrodes and associated connectors do
not contact other conductive parts including earth.
CONNECTIONS—The correct way to connect a patient
to the transmitter is to plug the electrode leads into the
patient cable which in turn connects to the
transmitter. The receiver is connected to the wall
socket by the power cord. Do not plug the electrode
leads into the power cord, a wall socket, or an extension
cord.
DEFIBRILLATION—This equipment is not designed for
use with defibrillators.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK—To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, do not remove equipment covers. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE—Be aware
that strong electromagnetic fields may interfere with
equipment operation. Interference prevents the clear
reception of signals by the device. If the hospital is close
to a strong transmitter such as TV, AM or FM radio,
police or fire stations, a HAM radio operator, an airport,
or cellular phone, their signals could be picked up as
signals by the equipment. If you feel interference is
affecting the equipment, contact your Service
Representative to check the equipment in your
environment.
