Precautions
General
Federal law in the USA or Canada restricts this device to sale by, or on, the order of a physician.
The Alkaline AA batteries powering the VISION TelePak are consumable components and must
be replaced regularly to ensure proper operation. Dispose used batteries properly, according to
local regulations.
Use only high-quality, 1.5V size AA Alkaline batteries in the VISION TelePak. Use of other
batteries may shorten battery life.
Read and understand this manual before using the VISION TelePak device.
Explosion hazard. Do not use VISION TelePak in presence of flammable anesthetics.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) may affect the performance of this device. Special care
should be taken when electro surgical instruments or similar devices are used on a patient wearing
any telemetry transmitter.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: 1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
ECG
Care should be taken to ensure that leadwires remain firmly attached to both transmitter and
electrodes. Ensure that electrodes maintain good contact with the patient's skin, and that
electrodes are properly placed and connected to unit. Failure to do so may prevent ECG signal
from being received, or give incorrect results.
For pacemaker patients, HR may continue to count pacemaker artifact during cardiac arrest or
other arrhythmia. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance.
Telemetry should not be used for primary monitoring in applications where the momentary loss of
the ECG is unacceptable.
If the ECG lead is disconnected from the patient or VISION TelePak, no ECG signal will be
available.
Poor placement of the ECG leads, or incorrect ECG sizing, could result in a poor or absent ECG
signal.
Creased or stretched ECG leads, or excessive patient movement, could result in a noisy ECG
signal.
