Electrical shock and flammability hazard

Before cleaning or servicing the oximeter, always turn it off and disconnect the
power cord from the AC power supply.

Patient safety

The correct use of the oximeter is to measure only arterial oxygen saturation
(SpO

This device is not intended for use in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
environment.

Patient safety (sensors)

Patient conditions (such as reddening, blistering, skin discoloration, ischemic skin
necrosis, and skin erosion) may warrant changing the sensor site frequently or
using a different style of sensor.
To prevent patient injury or equipment damage, use only OxyTip+ oximeter
sensors approved for use with this oximeter. For complete information about the
safe and appropriate use of a sensor, consult the instructions for that sensor.
Discard a damaged sensor immediately. Do not repair a damaged sensor or use a
sensor repaired by others.

Patient safety (modem)

Do not use the modem within the patient environment defined below:
Do not connect the modem to the oximeter when the oximeter is operating on
battery power.

RS-232 system interconnection

Accessory equipment connected to the RS-232 serial/analog connector must be
certified according to the current version of the respective IEC/EN standards
(e.g., IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical
equipment). All configurations shall also comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-1. Anyone
who connects additional equipment to the RS-232 serial/analog connector
configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible that the system complies
with the requirements of IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, call your local authorized

A pulse oximeter does not measure respiration and should never be used as a
substitute for an apnea monitor or as the primary monitor for infants being
monitored for apnea.
A pulse oximeter may be used during sleep studies of adults only to gather
information regarding SpO
