WARNING
?
Objective and constant arrhythmia detection is possible through the fixed
algorithm incorporated in this monitor.
However, excessive waveform morphology change, motion artifact, or the
inability to determine the waveform pattern may cause an error, or fail to
make adequate detection. Therefore, physicians should make final
decisions using manual recording, alarm recording and recall waveform for
evaluation.
?
When setting the monitor on a trolley, use 2 fixing screws to ensure safety.
Otherwise, the monitor may fall off the trolley, resulting in injury or damage
to the monitor.
?
Use the trolley only with the equipment specified by Fukuda Denshi.
Otherwise, the monitor and trolley may fall down, resulting in injury or
damage to the monitor.
?
Be sure to lock both casters when using or storing the trolley.
The trolley may move or fall down, resulting in injury or damage to the
monitor.
?
Do not use or store the trolley where it will be subject to inclination of 10
degrees or more. The trolley or defibrillator may fall resulting in injury or
damage to the monitor.
?
Some wireless combinations of telemetry transmitters may generate
interference with other devices.
?
Before selecting the channel, verify it will not interfere with other channels.
?
Make sure the telemetry manager of your system is aware of any changes
to the telemetry channels.
?
If transmitters are used in a neighboring medical facility, your facility and
neighboring facility must make agreements on the setting of telemetry
channels to prevent telemetry interference.
?
The purpose of this respiration alarm is to alert the user to evaluate for the
possible occurrence of apnea events by identifying the absence of
respiration. It is not intended to be classified as an “Apnea Monitor” and will
not identify the condition creating the possible event. (Central, Obstructive
or Mixed.)
CAUTION
?
Systems
?
The monitor should be kept apart at least 20cm from the head of patient
or operator.
?
Use only the accessories specified for this device. Otherwise, proper
function cannot be executed.
?
For quality improvement, specifications are subject to change without
prior notice.
?
The battery deteriorates with the repeated use, which shortens the
usable time.
?
The arrhythmia detection level corresponds with the displayed waveform
size. Select an appropriate size for monitoring.
?
The display panel utilizes exclusive fluorescent light for the backlight.
Since this fluorescent light deteriorates by the life cycle, the display may
become dark, scintillate, or may not light by the long term use. In such
case, contact your nearest service representative.
?
Always operate the touch screen with fingers or touch screen pen. Do
not touch with a pen-point or other hard-edged instruments.
Malfunction of the touch screen or damage may result.
?
ECG Monitoring
?
The indication for continuous use of the electrode is about one day.
?
Replace the electrode if the skin contact gets loosen due to perspiring,
etc.
?
When an electrode is attached at the same location for a long time, some
patients may develop a skin irritation. Check the patient’s skin condition
periodically and change the electrode site as required.
