UNEXPECTED SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. To prevent erroneous
readings, do not use physically damaged sensors or cables.
Discard a damaged sensor or cable immediately. Never
repair a damaged sensor or cable never use a sensor or cable

DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS. Patient signal inputs labeled
with the CF and BF symbols with paddles are protected
against damage resulting from defibrillation voltages.
To ensure proper defibrillator protection, use only the
recommended products.
DEFIBRILLATOR PRECAUTIONS. To ensure proper defibrillator
protection, do not place the defibrillation paddles on top of
the respiration sensor when it is not connected to a sensor
battery.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do
not touch the patient, table, bed, instruments, sensors, or the
Hub during defibrillation.
MISSED ALARMS. Always make sure that the necessary
alarm limits and priorities are active and set according to
the patient's clinical condition while the patient is being
monitored. Ask an authorized user to check such settings of
the alarm system that are available only to them (for example,
alarm delays). Inappropriate or extreme reduction of the
alarm system or patient settings can lead to missed detection
of critical events.
MISSED ALARMS. Always make sure that the audio alarm
volume level is adequate in your care environment to avoid
missing alarms or not recognizing them due to too low a
volume. Audio levels that are less than ambient levels may
lead to unrecognized or missed alarms.
MISSED ALARMS. There is a risk of missing alarms when
the same type of devices in the same care area are using
different alarm pre-sets. Always keep the patient under close
surveillance
MISSED ALARMS. To avoid missing alarms and noticing the
deterioration of the patient condition, always keep the patient
under close surveillance and do not rely exclusively on the
audible alarms of the Hub or Central Viewer.
MISSED ALARMS. When you change alarm settings (like alarm
volume or similar), the ability of the system to alert you of
alarm conditions may be impacted. Always keep the patient
under close surveillance to avoid missing any alarms.
