PRECAUTIONS
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 28-5
Precautions
See sections “Electrosurgery” on page 11 and “General Electrical Safety” on page 10
for general precautions regarding device operation.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of patient injury due to electrical
shock, always position the external device connectivity
kit (the kit) as far from the patient as possible. Make
sure that any cables or other conducting devices do not
come in contact with the patient. The kit is electrically
isolated from the monitor and any peripheral devices,
but the kit’s enclosure is not electrically isolated from
the peripheral device itself.
The monitor does not annunciate alarms for external
device parameters.
CAUTION:
Data transferred using the Medibus protocol is for information only and is not
intended as a basis for diagnostic or therapeutic decisions. Always refer to the
primary data source for these decisions.
Connecting peripheral devices is supported via the device connection option's
RS232 connection. Only connect peripheral medical devices to a patient
monitor if those devices comply with the electrical safety requirements found in
IEC 60601-1. Refer to the Electrical Safety section for information on how to
connect devices safely.
NOTE:
The MIB II option will not work if a network cable is connected to it. Likewise
the MIB II duo protocol converter will not work if it is connected to an IDS
network connector.
An RJ-45 cable can plug into the MIB II duo protocol convertor's X6 connector
(MIB I output); however, this cable cannot be removed if it locks into place (the
protocol convertor is unusable and must be returned for service if this occurs).
Only remove the label that covers the X6 connector if the protocol converter is
to be operated in MIB I mode.
