WARNINGS
Before putting the system into operation, the operator must verify that the equipment, connecting cables
and accessories are in correct working order and operating condition.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective
earth. If a properly grounded power outlet is not available, operate the monitor on battery power.
The equipment is not intended to be used within the Magnetic Resonance (MR) environment.
To avoid an explosion hazard, do not use the equipment in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres,
flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as gasoline).
Before connecting the equipment to the power line, check that the voltage and frequency ratings of the
power line are the same as those indicated on the equipment’s label or in this manual.
Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing or future upgrades must be carried out by Mindray

Do not come into contact with patients during defibrillation. Otherwise serious injury or death could result.
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to
a low level or off may result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that alarm settings should be customized
according to different patient situations and always keeping the patient under close surveillance is the most
reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
