SE-601 Series Electrocardiograph User Manual
3. EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the electrocardiograph in the presence of
flammable anesthetic mixtures with oxygen or other flammable agents.
4. SHOCK HAZARD - The power receptacle must be a hospital grade grounded outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet.
5. Make sure that the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC
socket before connecting or disconnecting equipment. Otherwise, electrical shock or
other injuries may happen to the patient or operator.
6. If the integrity of the external protective conductor is in doubt, the equipment should be
powered by an internal rechargeable battery.
7. Do not use this equipment in the presence of high static electricity or high voltage
equipment which may generate sparks.
8. Only the patient cable and other accessories supplied by the manufacturer can be
used. Or else, the performance and electric shock protection can not be guaranteed.
9. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.
10. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting objects.
11. If reusable electrodes
electrocardiograph recovery will take more than 10 seconds. The manufacturer
recommends the use of disposable electrodes at all times.
12. Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used; otherwise it may cause a high
polarization voltage.
13. The disposable electrodes can only be used for one time.
14. The electrocardiograph has been safety tested with the recommended accessories,
peripherals, and leads, and no hazard is found when the electrocardiograph is
operated with cardiac pacemakers or other stimulators.
15. Do not touch the patient, bed, table or the equipment while using the ECG together
with a defibrillator.
16. Do not touch accessible parts of non-medical electrical equipment and the patient
simultaneously.
17. The use of equipment that applies high frequency voltages to the patient (including
electrosurgical equipment and some respiration transducers) is not supported and
may produce
electrocardiograph, or detach the leads from the patient prior to performing any
procedure that uses high frequency surgical equipment.
