Introduction

Equipment Information Intended Use The intended use of this device is to monitor physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients within a hospital or facility providing patient care. Physiologic data includes the parameters covered in this manual. The monitoring system is also intended to provide physiologic data over the optional network to clinical information systems. This information can be viewed, trended, stored and printed.

Safety Statements The safety statements presented in this chapter refer to the equipment in general and, in most cases, apply to all aspects of the monitor. There are additional safety statements in the parameter chapters which are specific to that monitored parameter. The order in which safety statements are presented in no way implies order of importance.

Dangers Danger statements identify an imminent hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. No danger statements apply to this monitoring system.

Warnings Warning statements identify a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. The following warning statements apply to this monitoring system: WARNING ACCIDENTAL SPILLS - To avoid electric shock or device malfunction, liquids must not be allowed to enter the device. If liquids have entered a device, take it out of service and have it checked by a service technician before it is used again.

Introduction

WARNING ACCURACY - If the accuracy of any value viewed on the monitor, central station, or printed on a graph strip is questionable, determine the patient's vital signs by alternative means. Verify that all equipment is working correctly.

WARNING ALARMS - Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment. After connecting the monitor to the central station and/or nurse-call system, verify the function of the alarm system. The functions of the alarm system for monitoring of the patient must be verified at regular intervals.

WARNING BEFORE USE - Before putting the system into operation visually inspect all connecting cables for signs of damage. Damaged cables and connectors must be replaced immediately. Before using the system, the operator must verify that it is in correct working order and operating condition. Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the product is in doubt, test all functions.

WARNING CABLES - Route all cables away from patient's throat to avoid possible strangulation.

Introduction

WARNING CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS - Extreme care must be exercised when applying medical electrical equipment. Many parts of the human/machine circuit are conductive, such as the patient, connectors, electrodes, transducers. It is very important that these conductive parts do not come into contact with other grounded, conductive parts when connected to the isolated patient input of the device. Such contact would bridge the patient's isolation and cancel the protection provided by the isolated input. In particular, there must be no contact of the neutral electrode and ground.

WARNING DEFIBRILLATION - Do not come into contact with patients during defibrillation. Otherwise serious injury or death could result.

WARNING DISCHARGE TO CLEAR PATIENT DATA - When admitting a new patient, you must clear all previous patient data from the system. To accomplish this, disconnect patient cables then do a discharge.

WARNING DISCONNECTION FROM MAINS - When disconnecting the system from the power line, remove the plug from the wall outlet first. Then you may disconnect the power cord from the device. If you do not observe this sequence, there is a risk of coming into contact with line voltage by inserting metal objects, such as the pins of leadwires, into the sockets of the power cord by mistake.

WARNING DISPOSAL - Dispose of packaging material, observing the applicable waste control regulations and keeping it out of children’s reach.

Introduction

WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use this equipment in the presence of flammable anesthetics, vapors or liquids.

WARNING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION INTERFERENCE - Wireless LAN equipment contains an intentional RF radiator that has the potential of interfering with other medical equipment, including patient implanted devices. Before installation and any time new medical equipment is added to the Wireless LAN coverage area, complete the following tests: „

Software version 5.3 or earlier - Perform the electromagnetic compatibility test as described in the Wireless LAN Configuration Guide.

„

Software version 5.4 or later - Perform the ad-hoc tests AND the electromagnetic compatibility test as described in the Wireless LAN Configuration Guide.

WARNING INTERFACING OTHER EQUIPMENT - Devices may only be interconnected with each other or to parts of the system when it has been determined by qualified biomedical engineering personnel that there is no danger to the patient, the operator, or the environment as a result. In those instances where there is any element of doubt concerning the safety of connected devices, the user must contact the manufacturers concerned (or other informed experts) for proper use. In all cases, safe and proper operation should be verified with the applicable manufacturer's instructions for use, and system standard EN 60601-1-1 must be complied with.

WARNING - Before using the monitor for the first time, please read the “Safety Statements” on page 1-2.

Introduction

WARNING INTRACARDIAC APPLICATION - When applying devices intracardially, electrically conductive contact with parts connected to the heart (pressure transducers, metal tube connections and stopcocks, guide wires, etc.) must be avoided in all cases. To prevent electrical contact, we recommend the following: „

Always wear isolating rubber gloves.

„

Keep parts that are conductively connected to the heart isolated from the ground.

„

Do not use tube fittings or stopcocks made of metal.

During intracardiac application of a device, a defibrillator and pacemaker whose proper functioning has been verified must be kept at hand.

WARNING LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST - When interfacing with other equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed by qualified biomedical engineering personnel before using with patients.

WARNING PATIENT AMBULATION - A patient must be assisted if ambulating with a roll-stand mounted monitor.

WARNING POWER SUPPLY - The device must be connected to a properly installed power outlet with protective earth contacts only. If the installation does not provide for a protective earth conductor, disconnect the monitor from the power line and operate it on battery power, if possible. All devices of a system must be connected to the same power supply circuit. Devices which are not connected to the same circuit must be electrically isolated when operated.
