professionally trained. They should be familiar with the contents of this user manual
before operation.

4 EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or other materials.
5 SHOCK HAZARD - the power receptacle must be a three-wire grounded outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet. A hospital grade outlet
is required. If the outlet has only two slots, make sure that it is replaced with a
three-slot grounded outlet before attempting to operate the monitor.

within the patient vicinity (1.5m/6ft.).

And the multiple portable socket-outlets provided with the system shall only be used
for supplying power to equipment which is intended to form part of the system.

may exceed the limits given in the IEC/EN 60601-1 and may pose a safety hazard.
Consult your service personnel.

AC socket before connecting or disconnecting equipment. Otherwise, the patient or
operator may receive electrical shock or other injury.
11 Do not connect any equipment or accessories that are not approved by the
manufacturer or that are not IEC 60601-1 approved to the monitor. The operation or
use of non-approved equipment or accessories with the monitor is not tested or
supported, and monitor operation and safety are not guaranteed.

isolation transformer.
