Notes
NOTE: The NIBP comparison testing conducted via the auscultatory method
used both Phase 4 and Phase 5 Korotkoff sounds. Reports of study
findings for both the auscultatory method as well as the intra-arterial
methods are available by contacting Technical Support (800) 288-2121,
ext. 8116 or (201) 995-8237.
NOTE: The equipment uses a mains plug as a means of disconnection from the
mains power supply. Do not position the equipment in a place difficult
to operate the mains plug.
NOTE: If the supply mains has been interrupted during the monitoring, the V
12 switches power to battery backup if at least one battery has been
installed and charged. If power has been completely interrupted, SpO
2
monitoring continues when the supply mains is restored or a fully
charged battery is installed, and power has been recycled to the
monitor.
NOTE: As specified by IEC80601-2-30/EN60601-2-30, NIBP measurement can
be performed during electro-surgery and discharge of defibrillator.
NOTE: Pressure transducers are protected against the effects of defibrillation
and electro-cautery.
NOTE: A VPS is required to monitor any patient parameters.
