Safety - Sotera VISI User Manual

Cautions
2-way radios may cause waveform distortion when placed within 1 foot of the ViSi
Mobile Monitor.
Some brands of television may cause temporary waveform distortion and data loss when placed
within 6 feet of the ViSi Mobile Monitor.

Safety

The ViSi Mobile Monitoring System or Power Pack have not been tested in the
presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable agents in combination with air,
nitrous oxide, or oxygen-enriched environments.
Do not use a ViSi Mobile Monitor, its components, Power Pack or other accessories
that appear damaged. Inspect all reusable components for damage before each use.
Do not attempt to connect any patient worn component, ViSi Chest Sensor or ViSi
Mobile Cuff Module, or ViSi Power Pack to an electrical outlet of any kind.
A component that has been dropped or severely abused should be checked by qualified
service personnel before use on a patient.
The ViSi Mobile Monitoring System or Power Pack are not intended for home use.
Do not use the ViSi Mobile Monitoring System or Power Pack to monitor a patient in a
wet environment, such as a shower.
Explosion Hazard. Do not use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with
air, or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Use care when using automatic cuff inflation for prolonged periods on unconscious or
semi-conscious patients since the patient may not be able to alert the clinician to any
pain he/she may be experiencing. Pressing the "Stop NIBP" button interrupts the NIBP
measurement and deflates the cuff.
Consult your Biomed department or vendors for assistance in identifying EMC
compliance status of other medical devices when using the ViSi Mobile Monitoring
System or Power Pack.
Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic
emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment.
Changes in posture and arm height can affect ViSi cNIBP accuracy. If the cNIBP
measurement is questionable, retake the measurement. Ideally recalibrate in the same
position as the initial calibration.
Cautions
The accuracy of the cNIBP measurement cannot be relied upon in patients with a BMI
greater than 35.
