2-2 Product Safety
General Safety
Warnings
The IntelliVue MX40 should not be used for primary monitoring in
applications where the momentary loss of the ECG is unacceptable at
the Information Center.
For continued safe use of this equipment, it is necessary that the listed
instructions are followed. Instructions in this manual in no way
supersede established medical procedures.
Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation.
The battery door must be closed during defibrillation. These steps
protect the clinician from high defibrillator voltage.
This device is not to be used in the vicinity of electrosurgical units
because such use may interrupt or interfere with the transmission of
signals from the MX40.
This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
This equipment is not suitable for use in an MRI environment.
Do not use patient cables with detachable lead wires that have exposed
male pins. Electrocution could result if these pins are plugged into AC
power.
Do not use patient cables or accessory cables and sensors if prior visual
inspection reveals cable damage or the presence of liquid, lint or dust
inside.
The system is not completely immune from radio interference although
it is designed to minimize interference. Sources of interference that may
be a problem include failing fluorescent lights and construction
equipment. See "Electromagnetic Compatibility p. 13-6". The product
should not be used next to or stacked with other equipment. If you
must stack the product, you must check that normal operation is
possible in the necessary configuration before the product is used on
patients.
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient
monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level during patient
monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the most
reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal
surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment.
