Safety Information
9-4 Safety and System Specifications
Warning Warning
Do not mix transmitter leadsets and transmitter ECG trunk cables. Only use a
5-wire leadset with a 5-lead trunk cable or a 3-wire leadset with a 3-lead trunk
cable.
If a 5-wire leadset is plugged into a 3-lead trunk cable, only one lead will be
monitored by both the Information Center and TeleMon, and there will be no
informational notification displayed.
If a 3-wire leadset is plugged into a 5-lead trunk cable, a LEADS OFF
information message will be displayed, and no monitoring will occur at
TeleMon or the Information Center.
Use only one trunk cable per transmitter; do not use additional cables to extend
the cable length.
Use the trunk cable only with the TeleMon device. Do not use with other
telemetry monitoring systems or other bedside monitors.
Warning Warning
Do not perform noninvasive blood pressure measurements on patients with
sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is
expected.
Warning Warning
Use clinical judgement to decide whether or not to perform automatic blood
pressure measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders,
because of the risk of hematoma in the limb wearing the cuff.
Warning Warning
Before beginning to monitor a patient, verify that you have selected the patient
type (Adult or Pediatric) under Monitor Setup that is appropriate for your
patient.
Warning Warning
Do not apply the cuff to a limb that has an intravenous infusion or catheter in
place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is
slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.
