Introduction
WARNING ACCURACY - If the accuracy of any value displayed on the screen or printed on a graph strip is questionable, first determine the patient's vital signs by alternative means. Then, verify the CIC Pro center and printer are 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-alert system, verify the function of the alarm system. Repeat this verification periodically, including a check of all connected speakers. CIC Pro center audible alarms will not sound for patients with bedside monitoring devices configured to “Operating Room” mode.
WARNING BEFORE INSTALLATION - Compatibility is critical to safe and effective use of this device. Please contact your local sales or service representative prior to installation to verify equipment compatibility.
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 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.

Introduction
WARNING LOSS OF MONITORING - If the monitoring at the CIC Pro center is temporarily interrupted, alternate monitoring devices or close observation of the patients must be used until the monitoring function at the CIC Pro center is restored. Indications of a loss of the monitoring function at the CIC Pro center are as follows:
RED SCREEN indicates the CIC Pro center application is restarting itself and patient monitoring at the CIC Pro center is not occurring. The monitoring function at the CIC Pro center will automatically resume in less than 30 seconds. No user action is required.
BLUE SCREEN indicates the Windows® operating system has a functional error and patient monitoring at the CIC Pro center is not occurring. If the CIC Pro center does not automatically restart after 90 seconds, the monitoring function at the CIC Pro center will not resume until you turn off the power to the CIC Pro center and then turn the power back on. The monitoring function should resume in less than three minutes.
Once the monitoring function at the CIC Pro center has been restored, you should verify the correct monitoring state and alarm function.

Introduction
WARNING LOSS OF MONITORING - If the browser function is inappropriately used, loss of monitoring function may result. Use alternate monitoring devices or close patient observation until the monitoring function at the CIC Pro center is restored. When using the browser function, follow these restrictions:
Do not attempt to access the file systems of the CIC Pro center through the use of the browser.
Do not attempt to download files of any type. This includes, but is not limited to, audio or video files.
Do not play user-defined audio (e.g. Media Player, streaming radio stations).
Do not attempt to access web applications or web sites outside of the protected and isolated hospital intranet environment.
Inappropriate use of the CIC Pro center browser function may result in a loss of monitoring function at the CIC Pro center. If a loss of monitoring should occur, use alternate monitoring devices or close patient observation until the CIC Pro center monitoring function is restored. If the CIC Pro center does not automatically resume operation within 90 seconds, power cycle the CIC Pro center by turning the power switch off, then on again. The monitoring function should resume in less than three minutes. Once monitoring is restored, you should verify correct monitoring state and alarm function. If the monitoring function is not restored, have a qualified service person verify proper operation.

Introduction
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. GE recommends the use of an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with the CIC Pro center. If a UPS is not used, improper shutdowns of the system could result in the event of a power outage and cause a lengthy disk scan procedure when the unit reboots. You could also lose data in the event of a power outage if you do not use a UPS. 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.
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 SITE REQUIREMENTS - Do not route cables in a way that they may present a stumbling hazard. For devices installed above the user, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent them from dropping on the user.
WARNING MISMATCHED PATIENT DATA - Always verify the displayed patient data corresponds to the medical record number of the patient on the monitor.
WARNING INADEQUATE DATA RESOLUTION - Images displayed on this device are not to be used for diagnostic purposes. Always review the original images.
Cautions Caution statements identify a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided, could result in minor personal injury or product or property damage. The following caution statements apply to this monitoring system:
