WARNING
24 Make sure that the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the
AC socket before connecting or disconnecting equipment. Otherwise, the patient or
operator may receive electrical shock or other injury.
25 Disconnect power cord before changing fuses. Replace them with those of the same
specifications only.
26 Parts and accessories used must meet the requirements of the applicable IEC 601
series safety standards, and/or the system configuration must meet the requirements
of the IEC 60601-1-1 medical electrical systems standard.
27 Connect the grounding wire to the equipotential grounding terminal in the main
system. If it is not evident from the instrument specifications whether a particular
instrument combination is hazardous or not, for example due to summation of
leakage currents, you should consult the manufacturer or an expert in the field, to
ensure that the necessary safety of all instruments concerned will not be impaired by
the proposed combination.
For proper monitoring:
28 The monitor is not intended for treatment.
29 Alarms must be set up according to different situations of patients. Make sure that
audio sounds can be activated when an alarm occurs.

the provider.

them after use.
35 The disposable accessories are intended to be used only once. Dispose of them
properly after use and do not reuse them.
