CAUTIONS
Federal law (U.S.A.) restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
Do not use replacement batteries other than the type supplied
with the monitor. Use only batteries recommended by GE
Medical Systems Information Technologies. Other batteries
could result in monitor shut down. Replacement batteries are
available from GE Medical Systems Information Technologies-
Accessories and Supplies.
The V100 Monitor is designed to conform to Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standard IEC 60601-1-2, 1993 and will
operate accurately in conjunction with other medical
equipment which also meets this requirement. To avoid
interference problems affecting the monitor, do not use the
monitor in the presence of equipment which does not conform
to these specifications.
Place the V100 Monitor on a rigid, secure surface. The monitor
must only be used with mounting hardware, poles, and stands
recommended by GE Medical Systems Information
Technologies.
The weight of the accessory basket contents should not exceed
5 lb (2.7kg).
Arrange the external AC/DC power converter, air hoses, and all
cables carefully so they do not constitute a hazard.
Verify calibration of NIBP parameter (temperature and pulse
oximeter do not require calibration; refer to the service manual
for instructions). Ensure that the display is functioning properly
before operating the V100 Monitor.
Do not immerse the monitor in water. If the monitor is splashed
with water or becomes wet, wipe it immediately with a dry
cloth.
Do not gas sterilize or autoclave.
Examine the power cord periodically. Discontinue use and
replace if damaged.
Caution should be taken to not set ALARM LIMITS to extreme
values, as this can render the ALARM SYSTEM useless.
The V100 Monitor, when used with GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies-approved applied parts and
accessories, is protected against defibrillator damage.
NOTE: The electromagnetic compatibility profile of the V100 Monitor may
change if accessories other than those specified for use with the V100
