WARNINGS
Do not use the V100 Monitor in the presence of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) devices. There have been reports of
sensors causing patient burns when operating in an MRI
environment.
Do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
The use of approved accessories will provide protection from
burns during HF surgery. To help prevent unintended current
return paths with the use of high frequency (HF) surgical
equipment, ensure that the HF surgical neutral electrode is
properly connected.
To avoid personal injury, do not perform any servicing unless
qualified to do so.
These Monitors should not be used on patients who are
connected to cardiopulmonary bypass machines.
If powering the monitor from an external power adapter or
converter, use only GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies-approved power adapters and converters.
The monitor does not include any user-replaceable fuses. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or
the back. Refer servicing to a qualified service person.
If the accuracy of any determination reading is questionable,
first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means and
then check the V100 Monitor for proper functioning.
Use of portable phones or other radio frequency (RF) emitting
equipment near the system may cause unexpected or adverse
operation.
The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to, or
stacked with, other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the equipment or system should be tested to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it is being used.
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emissions or decreased
immunity performance of the equipment or system.
