CAUTION!
 When several blood pressure measurements are taken on the same patient, regularly
check the cuff site and extremity for possible ischemia, purpura, and/or neuropathy.
 Wrapping the cuff too loosely may lead to inaccurate results.
ECG Warnings and Cautions
These warnings and cautions pertain to the ECG warnings and cautions.
WARNING!
 In order to minimize interference and the danger of burns to the patient, only use
FORA ECG cables. Keep the ECG cable as far away as possible from any
electrosurgical cables. Make sure that the electrosurgical return conductor (neutral) is
properly attached to the patient.
 Danger of destroying the monitor during defibrillation! The monitor is type CF
protected only when the original FORA patient cables are used.
 Patients with a pacemaker must be observed continuously because the heart rate
from the pacemaker might still be registered in case of a cardiac arrest or some
arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon heart rate meter alarm signals. Keep
pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
 Pacemaker monitoring is not possible with ECG cables that have unshielded lead
wires. Ensure that only shielded lead wire ECG cables are used when monitoring
patients that have a pacemaker.
 FORA recommends to apply a SpO
to set the alarm range for the peripheral pulse (PP) in the range of the heart rate (HR),
or to set the HR source in the SpO
