WARNING
2094480-001
If liquid has accidentally entered the system or its parts,
disconnect the power cord from the power supply and have
the equipment serviced by qualified service personnel.
DISCONNECTION FROM MAINS. When disconnecting the
device from the power line, remove the plug from the wall
outlet first. Then you may disconnect the power cord from the
device. If you do not observe this sequence, there is a risk
of coming into contact with line voltage by inserting metal
objects, such as the pins of leadwires, into the sockets of the
power cord by mistake.
INTRACARDIAC APPLICATION. When applying devices
intracardially, electrically conductive contact with parts
connected to the heart (pressure transducers, metal tube
connections and stopcocks, guide wires, etc.) must be avoided
in all cases. To prevent electrical contact, we recommend
the following:
always wear isolating rubber gloves,
●
keep parts that are conductively connected to the heart
●
isolated from ground,
if possible, do not use tube fittings or stopcocks made of
●
metal.
EXPLOSION. Do not use this system in the presence of
flammable anesthetics, vapors or liquids.
If an error message appears during operation, it is the licensed
medical practitioner's responsibility to decide whether the
device is still suitable for patient monitoring. As a general rule,
monitoring should only continue in extremely urgent cases
and under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare
practitioner. The device must be repaired before being
used again on a patient. If an error message appears after
power-up, the device must be repaired before being used on
a patient.
PATIENT SAFETY. To avoid risks to patient safety, never modify
or alter the connectors on product or accessories in any
way. Alterations or modifications may affect patient safety,
performance, and accuracy.
Do not place the CARESCAPE ONE in a patient bed.
BEFORE INSTALLATION. Compatibility is critical to safe and
effective use of this device. Verify the compatibility of
all system components and device interfaces, including
hardware and software versions, prior to installation and use.
