9-6 Safety and System Specifications
Warning Warning
Although this equipment is shielded against Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI), we recommend you avoid the use of other electrically radiating devices
in close proximity to this equipment.
Warning Warning
TeleMons with transmitters that are broadcasting 25 kHz apart interfere with
one another at distances of 1-3 feet. This situation is aggravated by ECG cable
proximity. Symptoms include dropout (at the information center), waveform
artifact of the ECG (at central and TeleMon), and screen freeze (at TeleMon).
To avoid this situation, maintain a frequency spacing of >25 kHz between
channels or a physical distance of >1 m (3 ft.) between devices.
Warning Warning
Use only a TeleMon-specific power supply of the appropriate voltage and
amperage for this device. See "Accessories" on page 8-3 for accessory
information.
Warning Warning
U.S. Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. This
product is intended for use in health care facilities by trained healthcare
professionals. It is not intended for home use.
Caution
This device is not to be used during electrosurgery.
Caution
