Safety: Monitor Contraindications, Warnings, and Precautions
WARNINGS
LINE ISOLATION MONITOR TRANSIENTS—Line isolation
monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac waveforms, and
thus cause incorrect heart rate determinations and alarm activation
(or inhibition).
STRANGULATION—Make sure all patient cables, leadwires,
and tubing are positioned away from the patient's head to
minimize the risk of accidental strangulation.
WATER BIRTHS—Do not use the monitor to directly monitor
patients during water births, in whirlpool or submersion water
baths, during showers, or in any other situation where the mother
is immersed in water. Doing so may result in electrical shock
hazard.
