WARNING
ACCIDENTAL SPILLS —To avoid electric shock or device
malfunction, liquids must not be allowed to enter the device. If
liquids have entered a device, take it out of service and have it
checked by a service technician before it is used again.
WARNING
ACCURACY—If the accuracy of any value viewed on the monitor,
central station, or printed on a graph strip is questionable, determine
the patient's vital signs by alternative means. Verify that all
equipment is working correctly.
WARNING
ALARMS —Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system
for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or
off during patient monitoring may result in a hazard to the patient.
Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring
combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of
monitoring equipment.
After connecting the monitor to the central station and/or nurse-call
system, verify the function of the alarm system.
The functions of the alarm system for monitoring of the patient must
be verified at regular intervals.
WARNING
BEFORE USE—Before putting the system into operation visually
inspect all connecting cables for signs of damage. Damaged cables
and connectors must be replaced immediately.
Before using the system, the operator must verify that it is in correct
working order and operating condition.
Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the product is in doubt,
test all functions.
WARNING
CABLES —Route all cables away from patient's throat to avoid
possible strangulation.
