14. The use of patient cable and other accessories not supplied by the manufacturer may
result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.
15. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.
16. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrode, do not come into contact with earth or any other conducting
objects.
17. To avoid a polarization or DC offset voltage, use non-polarizing electrodes(which will
not form a DC offset voltage when subjected to a DC current) such as
silver/silver-chloride types if there is a situation where there is a likelihood that a
defibrillation procedure will be necessary.
18. There is no danger for patients with pacemakers. However, if a pacemaker is used,
the results given by the equipment may be invalid, or lose the clinical significance.
19. Do not touch the patient, bed, table or the equipment while using the ECG together
with a defibrillator.
20. Do not touch accessible parts of electrical equipment and the patient simultaneously.
21. In order to avoid being burned, please keep the electrodes far away from the radio
knife while using electrosurgical equipment.
22. Disposable electrodes must be used during defibrillation.
23. .Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all
configurations shall comply with the valid version of the standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
Therefore anybody, who connects additional equipment to the signal input or output
connector to configure a medical system, must make sure that it complies with the
requirements of the valid version of the system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in
doubt, consult our technical service department or your local distributor.
24. All the accessories connected to system must be installed outside the patient vicinity,
if they do not meet the requirement of IEC/EN 60601-1.
25. The summation of leakage current should never exceed leakage current limits while
several other units are used at the same time; otherwise, electric shock may happen.
