WARNINGS
ALARMS — Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm
system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm
volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring
may result in a hazard to the patient.
Do not rely exclusively on the alarm pause breakthrough
feature for alarm notification during an alarm pause.
This may result in a hazard to the patient. Only crisis
alarms break through an alarm pause.
Remember that the most reliable method of patient
monitoring combines close personal surveillance with
correct operation of monitoring equipment.
After connecting the monitor to the central station, nurse
alert system, and/or network, verify the function of the
alarm system.
The functions of the alarm system for monitoring of the
patient must be verified at regular intervals.
BEFORE USE — Before putting the system into
operation visually inspect all connecting cables for signs
of damage. Damaged cables and connectors must be
replaced immediately.
Before using the system, the operator must verify that it
is in correct working order and operating condition.
Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the product is
in doubt, test all functions.
CABLES — Route all cables away from patient's throat
to avoid possible strangulation.
