1.1.1 Warnings
WARNING
• The TM80/TM70 is intended to be used for a single patient at a time.
• The TM80/TM70 must be operated by medical personnel in hospitals.
• To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the equipment in the presence of
oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable
agents.
• Do not use TM80/TM70 in conjunction with Electro Surgical Unit (ESU).
• Do not expose the TM80/TM70 to a Magnetic Resonance (MR) environ-
ment.
◆ Thermal injury and burns may occur due to the metal components
of the equipment which can heat during MR scanning.
◆ The equipment may present a risk of projectile injury due to the
presence of ferromagnetic materials which can be attracted by the
MR magnet core.
◆ The leadwires and electrodes will generate artifacts in the MR
image.
◆ The equipment will not function properly due to the strong mag-
netic and radio frequency fields generated by the MR scanner.
• Before putting the system into operation, the operator must verify that
the equipment, connecting cables and accessories are in correct work-
ing order and operating condition.
• Do not come into contact with the patient during defibrillation. Other-
wise serious injury or death could result.

• Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future upgrades
must be carried out by trained and authorized personnel.
• Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for monitoring.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the
patient. Always keep the patient under close surveillance.
• The physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the TM80/
TM70 are for reference only and cannot be directly used for diagnostic
