LOSS OF MONITORING. Make sure to always lock the Hub
screen when not interacting with it. Locking the screen
will prevent unintentional interactions, which could lead to
interrupted monitoring.
LEAKAGE CURRENT. To avoid excessive patient leakage
current, do not simultaneously touch the patient and the pins
on the charger.
LEAKAGE CURRENT TO PATIENT. To avoid leakage current to
the patient, make sure that the sensors and connectors do
not touch any electrically conductive material including earth.
MISSED EVENTS. To avoid missing any events, lock the Hub
screen when not in clinical use to protect it from ghost
touches caused by static electricity building up on the screen.
Also make sure that there are no liquids on the screen, and
avoid EMI or ESD interference.
PATIENT SAFETY. If the accuracy of any value displayed
is questionable, first check that the sensors are properly
attached and determine the patient's vital signs by alternate
means. Then, verify that the monitoring system is working
correctly.
PATIENT SAFETY. In case the Hub does not receive a
configuration from the Core Services for some reason, it will
use the factory defaults. Always check the settings to ensure
patient safety.
PATIENT SAFETY. Take special care when using small or loose
components around the patient to avoid the risk of choking or
suffocation. Always check that such components are located
so that they do not cause a risk to the patient.
PATIENT SAFETY. When using an electrosurgery unit, note
that the measurement devices do not incorporate the means
to protect against burns in case of a defective or wrongly
positioned ESU return electrode. To avoid burns at the
measurement sites, ensure the following:
The ESU return electrode is properly connected to the
●
patient.
The ESU return electrode is near the operating area.
●
Parameter devices are far from the surgical site and the
●
ESU return electrode.
PATIENT SAFETY. The Hub is designed for use on one patient
at a time. Trying to use the Hub to monitor more patients
simultaneously results in incorrect monitoring data.
PERSONAL INJURY. Route the cable of the alarming unit in
such a way that it will not present a stumbling hazard.
STRANGULATION. Route all cables away from patient's throat
to avoid possible strangulation.
