Cautions

1-12
WARNING
RATE METERS — Keep pacemaker patients under close
observation. Rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate
during cardiac arrest and some arrhythmias. Therefore, do not rely
entirely on rate meter alarms.
WARNING
SINGLE PATIENT USE —This transmitter is designed for use on
one patient at a time. Using this equipment to monitor different
parameters on different patients at the same time compromises the
accuracy of data acquired.
WARNING
SITE REQUIREMENTS — For safety reasons, all connectors for
patient cables and sensor leads are designed to prevent inadvertent
disconnection, should someone pull on them. Do not route cables in
a way that they may present a stumbling hazard. For devices
installed above the patient, adequate precautions must be taken to
prevent them from dropping on the patient.
Caution statements identify a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in minor personal injury or product/property damage.
The following caution statements apply to this system.
CAUTION
ADJUSTING WAVEFORM COLORS — For an unlocked patient
bed, the waveform color changes remain in effect until the bed is
removed from the display, discharged, or until the bed is moved to a
different location on the display. At this time, the waveform colors
return to the default settings.
For locked patient bed, the color changes remain in effect until a
user manually changes the colors. Moving or discharging a patient
bed does not return the waveform colors to the default settings.
