Safety Information
System Warnings
Prescription - Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or
on the order of a physician.
Patient Monitoring – The most reliable method of patient monitoring
combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of
monitoring equipment.
Secondary Patient Monitoring System – The bedside monitor and
designated station make up the patient monitoring system. Patient
alarm conditions and notifications are primary functions of the patient
monitoring system. It is imperative that patient alarm conditions
be monitored at the primary monitor or designated station. The
AlarmView System is not intended for use as the primary
source for patient alarm notification.
Explosion Hazard – Do not use the AlarmView System in the
presence of flammable anesthetics, skin cleaning agents,
disinfectants or gases. Care must be taken when the device is used
in oxygen-enriched environments (where room air contains 25% or
more oxygen or nitrous oxide).
Electrical Shock – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not
remove the cover of the AlarmView transmitter. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel. Do not spray or spill any liquid on the AlarmView
transmitter, power supply, pager, programmer, or any accessories,
connectors, switches or openings in the equipment.
Pacemaker Interference – The programmer’s speaker may cause
interference with some pacemakers when used in close proximity.
For patients with pacemakers, do not use the AlarmView
programmer near a patient’s chest area or place the programmer on
a patient’s chest.
