Electrosurgery and Defibrillation Safety
The monitor is protected against high-frequency interference from electrosurgery
units (ESU) and discharges from defibrillators, as well as against 50- and 60-Hertz
power line interference.

CAUTION: During Electrosurgery, observe the following guidelines to minimize ESU
interference and provide maximum user and patient safety:
z
Use the ESU block to connect ECG cables.
z
Keep all transducers and intermediate cables off of earth ground and away
from the ESU knife and return wires.
z
Use the SpO
z
Use rectal temperature probe sheaths to cover any internally placed
temperature sensors.
z
Always use the accessories designed for ESU environments.
z
If pacer detection is on, the ESU interference may be detected as pacer spikes
displayed on the ECG.
