General Safety information
DANGER
• Never use the wireless input unit in a flammable atmosphere (i.e.
areas with flammable anesthetics, concentrated oxygen, hyperbaric
oxygen) or in an environment in which an electrical arc could ignite
an explosion. Otherwise, the unit will explode or catch fire.
• Never use the wireless input unit in a high-pressure oxygen medical
care tank. Otherwise, the unit will explode or catch fire.
WARNING
Using with an electrical surgical unit (ESU)
• Never use the wireless input unity near the ESU. The unit may
malfunction due to high-frequency noise from the ESU.
• When using wireless input unit with an ESU, refer to the instruction
manual for the ESU. Before measurement, check that the return plate
is correctly attached to the patient and that the unit operates correctly
when using with the ESU. If the return plate is not attached correctly,
it may burn the patient’s skin where the electrodes are attached.
• Before using the ESU, remove all needle electrodes and silver ball
electrodes from the patient. Failure to follow this warning may cause
burn on the patient.
MRI examination
• Do not install the wireless input unit in an MRI examination room.
The unit may not operate properly due to high-frequency magnetic
noise from the MRI.
• When performing MRI tests, remove all electrodes and transducers
from the patient which are connected to the electrode junction box
and telemetry unit. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious
electrical burn on the patient due to local heating caused by dielectric
electromotive force. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the
MRI.
When performing defibrillation
• Before defibrillation, remove from the patient all electrodes and
transducers which are connected to connectors that do not have a
“ ” or “ ” mark. Otherwise, the discharged energy may cause
serious electrical burn or shock to the operator.
• Before defibrillation, remove all electrodes, transducers medical
agents from the patient. If the defibrillator paddle directly contacts
these materials or medical agents, the discharged energy may cause
serious electrical burn to the patient.
