WARNING
INCORRECT ALGORITHMS, ARRHYTHMIA PROCESSING
AND CALCULATIONS BASED ON PATIENT AGE — After
manually updating or automatically retrieving patient demographic
information from a network database, always confirm that the
entered patient's date of birth matches the patient's actual date of
birth. Otherwise the appropriate age-related algorithms, arrhythmia
detection, and calculations will not be applied.
WARNING
INTERFACING OTHER EQUIPMENT — Devices may only be
interconnected with each other or to parts of the system when it has
been determined by qualified biomedical engineering personnel that
there is no danger to the patient, the operator, or the environment as
a result. In those instances where there is any element of doubt
concerning the safety of connected devices, the user must contact
the manufacturers concerned (or other informed experts) for proper
use. In all cases, safe and proper operation should be verified with
the applicable manufacturer's instructions for use, and system
standards IEC 60601-1-1/EN 60601-1-1 must be complied with.
WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST — When interfacing with other
equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed by qualified
biomedical engineering personnel before using with patients.
WARNING
LOSS OF ALARMS—Do not use transmitter accessory devices
such as SpO2 and NBP without ECG cables attached. Failure to use
accessory devices in the prescribed manner may result in a loss of
alarms.
WARNING
LOSS OF DATA — Should the monitor at any time temporarily lose
patient data, the potential exists that active monitoring is not being
done. Close patient observation or alternate monitoring devices
should be used until monitor function is restored.
If the monitor does not automatically resume operation within 60
seconds, power cycle the monitor using the power on/off switch.
Once monitoring is restored, you should verify correct monitoring
state and alarm function.
