ELECTROSURGERY—The equipment is not designed
for use with high-frequency surgical devices. In addition,
measurements may be affected in the presence of strong
electromagnetic sources such as electrosurgery
equipment.
EXPLOSION HAZARD—Do not use this equipment in
the presence of flammable anesthetics or inside an
oxygen tent.
GROUNDING—Do not defeat the three-wire grounding
feature of the power cord by means of adaptors, plug
modifications, or other methods. A dangerous shock
hazard to both patient and operator may result.
INSTRUCTIONS—For continued and safe use of this
equipment, it is necessary to follow all listed instructions.
However, the instructions provided in this manual in no
way supersede established medical procedures
concerning patient care. The device does not replace
observation and evaluation of the patient, at regular
intervals, by a qualified care provider who will make
diagnoses and decide on treatments and interventions.
INTERFACING OTHER EQUIPMENT—Monitoring
equipment must be interfaced with other types of medical
equipment by qualified biomedical engineering
personnel. Be certain to consult manufacturers’
specifications to maintain safe operation.
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST—The interconnection of
auxiliary equipment with this device may increase the
total leakage current. When interfacing with other
equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed
by qualified biomedical engineering personnel before
using with patients. Serious injury or death could result
if the leakage current exceeds applicable standards. The
use of accessory equipment not complying with the
equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may
lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system.
Consideration relating to the choice shall include: use of
the accessory in the patient vicinity; and evidence that
the safety certification of the accessory has been
performed in accordance with the appropriate IEC 601.1
and/or IEC 601.1.1 harmonized national standard.
