Monitoring System Operation and Service

1.2.4

WARNING:
Inspect the monitoring system and all accessories before use to ensure there are no signs of physical
damage or improper function. Do not use if damaged.

WARNING:
To ensure accurate performance and prevent device failure, do not expose the monitoring system to
extreme moisture, such as direct exposure to rain. Such exposure may cause inaccurate performance or
device failure. Do not immerse in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions, since the monitoring system
and pulse oximetry sensors and connectors are not waterproof.

WARNING:
Do not sterilize the monitoring system by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide.

WARNING:
The monitoring system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or
stacked use is necessary, observe the monitoring system to verify normal operation in the desired
configuration.

WARNING:
The only user-serviceable parts inside the monitoring system are the four AA batteries. While users can
open the battery cover to change the batteries, only qualified service personnel should remove the
cover or access internal components for any other reason. Users should not modify any components of
the monitoring system.

WARNING:
Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the monitoring system, its accessories, connectors, switches, or
openings in the casing, since this may cause damage to the monitoring system. Never place fluids on
the monitoring system. If fluid spills on the monitoring system, remove batteries, wipe all components
dry immediately, and have the monitoring system serviced to ensure no hazard exists.

WARNING:
Do not damage the batteries by applying pressure. Do not throw, hit, drop or impact the batteries.

WARNING:
Keep the monitoring system and batteries out of the reach of children.

Caution:
The monitoring system may not operate properly if it is operated or stored at conditions outside the
ranges stated in this manual, or if it is subjected to excessive shock or dropping.
