Product Safety and Setup
Caution: Electrical safety
If not all the electrodes are applied to the patient, place the
electrodes that are not in use in such a way that they cannot come
into contact with a metallic part. Do not touch the electrodes
which have not been applied.
Caution: Patient injury
To prevent injury, all system cables including accessories, must be
routed to prevent tripping, roll over, and snagging.
Caution: Electrical safety
An inappropriate or defective patient cable can damage the
amplifier circuit and prevent the display of patient reaction. Use
only Cardiac Science-supplied patient cables and check the cables
for damage before each use.
Caution: Equipment disposal
Dispose of batteries, cables, accessories, and the ECG device
according to the appropriate federal, state, and local regulations.
Patient cable/ECG electrodes
WARNING! Electrical safety.
Misusing the patient cable can cause shock. Use the patient cable
only as directed. Never attempt to connect the patient cable to
any other type of device. Never attempt to connect the patient
cable or lead wires directly to power.
WARNING! Patient safety
Route the patient cable to prevent injuries or cable damage. When
attaching the patient cable to the electrodes, minimize the twist
stress on the cable. Route the leads and cables to conform to body
contours. Route the leads and cables to prevent strangulation.
Ensure that no strain is placed on the electrodes. Ensure the cable
does not create a trip hazard.
