Introduction
Cautions
1-6
WARNING
FALSE CALLS—False low heart rate indicators or false asystole
calls may result with certain pacemakers because of electrical
overshoot.
WARNING
INTERFACING WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT —Contact GE for
information before connecting any devices to the equipment that are
not recommended in this manual.
WARNING
LOSS OF DATA — Notify the affected users relying upon this data
flow before shutting down the ApexPro™ antenna infrastructure
components for any reason.
WARNING
MONITORING PACEMAKER PATIENTS —Monitoring of
pacemaker patients can only occur with the pace program activated.
WARNING
PACEMAKER SPIKE —An artificial pacemaker spike is displayed
in place of the actual pacemaker spike. All pacemaker spikes appear
uniform. Do not diagnostically interpret pacemaker spike size and
shape.
WARNING
PATIENT HAZARD —A pacemaker pulse can be counted as a QRS
during asystole in either pace mode. Keep pacemaker patients under
close observation.
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.
Caution statements identify a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not
avoided, could result in minor personal injury or product/property damage. The
