Patient Monitor User Manual
11 Replace the flow or CO
observed in the pressure line tubing.
12 The RM module automatically identifies the type of sensor (adult, pediatric or
neonatal) when it is connected. If the module does not identify the sensor when a
sensor is first connected, do not use the sensor. If the condition persists, refer the
module to qualified service personnel.
13 The use of the RM module is restricted to one patient at a time. Do not connect the
sensors to multiple patients simultaneously.
14 The flow or CO
receptacle prior to connecting a sensor to the breathing circuit, in order to avoid a
circuit leak, or occlusion of sensor tubing.
15 Periodically check sensors and tubing for excessive moisture or secretion build up.
16 Although the RM module automatically purges the lines, moisture or secretions may
still remain.
17 While using the sensors, a system leak, such as that caused by uncuffed
endotracheal tubes or a damaged sensor may significantly affect flow related
readings. These include flow, volume, pressure, deadspace, CO
other respiratory mechanics parameters.
18 The use of portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can
affect this and other pieces of medical equipment.
19 The use of accessories, sensors and cables other than those specified by EDAN
may increase emissions or decrease immunity of the equipment.
20 The patient sensors must not be located between defibrillator pads when a
defibrillator is used on a patient.
21 To reduce the hazard of burns in the high-frequency surgical neutral electrode
connection, the patient sensors should not be located between the surgical site and
the electro-surgical unit return electrode.
22 The RM module is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor.
1 Always inspect the flow or CO
that the patient flow connector is positively latched prior to use.
2 Always verify that the flow or CO
system prior to use.
3 Do not use the module if it appears to be damaged.
