What You Should Know Intended Use of the EMS-XL System The EMS-XL is a computerized Cardiac Electrophysiological Measurement System, designed for conducting regular or experimental electrophysiology (EP) studies. The EMS-XL System is intended to be used for performing computerized Cardiac Electrophysiological and Ablation procedures. The EMS-XL is intended for sale as a system for performing Cardiac EP clinical studies.
Using the EMS-XL System Before commencing patient monitoring, always perform the following routine checks: 1. Check the system for signs of any mechanical damage. 2. Check all external leads, plug-ins and accessories. 3. Check all functions of the instrument needed to monitor the patient and ensure that the system is in proper working order
.
Do not use the EMS-XL System for any monitoring procedure on a patient if you identify features which demonstrate impaired functioning of the system. Contact the hospital biomedical engineer, or a Mennen Medical Ltd. service engineer. Notes: For recommended EMS-XL System cleaning procedures, see General Cleaning Procedures on page 8-1. For information on Calibration and Preventive Maintenance on page 8-5.
Replacement of the CPU Battery Whenever the EMS-XL System is disconnected from the mains power supply, the CPU battery provides the back-up power to the system set-up. In the event that the system is disconnected from the mains power supply for an accumulated period of 2 months (1440 hours) or more, or if it is only intermittently attached to the power supply, the CPU battery should be replaced.

Compliance The EMS-XL System is designed to comply with (amongst others) the following international safety requirements for medical electrical equipment:
IEC 60601-1 IEC 60601-1-2 IEC 60601-2-27 AAMI (voluntary performance standards): ES1 EC-11 The European Directive of 93/42/EEC classifies the EMSXL as a Class IIb device. The system is designed to have special protection against electric shocks and is defibrillator-proof. The ECG application is classified as Type CF equipment for direct cardiac application. The EMS-XL provides protection against the effects of defibrillation and electrosurgery. If the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the screen display will recover within 10 seconds of defibrillation. Type CF equipment is designed to have special protection against electric shocks (particularly regarding leakage current) and is defibrillator-proof. For descriptions and locations of the symbols used on the modules of the EMS-XL System, see Label Locations & Symbol Descriptions on page 1-4.

Warnings and Precautions Prescription Notice Federal United States law restricts the sale and use of this instrument to qualified medical personnel only. In addition, the user should be properly trained in the use of the system. The instructions for use presented in this guide should in no way supersede established medical protocol concerning patient care.
Biocompatibility All materials used in the patient cables and applied parts have been tested for biocompatibility by the OEM manufacturer(s) and are in compliance with the applicable standards on biocompatibility. The following information contains general warnings and cautions for the user before initial use of the system. Specific warnings and cautions pertaining to the operation of part of the system or to an individual module, appear in the relevant section of the manual.
Radiation Radio frequency (RF) generates an electromagnetic field. The intensity of the radiated field, at any point in space, is directly proportional to the source of the voltage, and inversely proportional to the distance from the source. In the case of Ablation, the active electrode, return plate, and their cables act as transmitting antennas.
Electromagnetic fields radiate perpendicular to their associated cables. Therefore, susceptibility of the ECG cable to this RF is maximum when the ECG cable is parallel to the Ablation cable. Separating or placing cables perpendicular to one another will minimize radiation coupling effects. In summary, radiation interference can be minimized by the following:
• Using the lowest possible Ablation power setting. • Keeping ECG cables as far from Ablation cables as possible.
• Keeping ECG cables at right angles to Ablation cables.
Transducer Protection Immunity requirements of IEC Collateral Standard 606011-2 for Electromagnetic Compatibility are met with the transducers recommended for use with the unit.
SAFETY WARNINGS A WARNING INDICATES A SITUATION IN WHICH THE USER OR THE PATIENT MAY BE IN DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH.
Note:
This symbol is also used to signify a potential risk of permanent loss of data.
Explosion Hazard The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with Oxygen or Nitrous Oxide.

Mennen Medical
Electrical Shock Hazards To eliminate the risk of electrical shock, always adhere to the precautions shown below.
• Do not touch the patient, bed or instrument during defibrillation.
• Before cleaning the monitor, switch the monitor OFF and disconnect it from the power supply and electrical outlet. After cleaning, or if liquid has accidentally entered the interior of the monitor, make sure that every part of the monitor is dry before reconnecting it the power supply. See Chapter 8 - Care and Maintenance for more information on cleaning the monitor.
• Access to any internal part of the EMS-XL System and/ or the performance of any service procedures should only be carried out by a qualified technician, fully trained in the operation of the system. For continued protection against fire hazard, fuses should be replaced only with those of the same type and rating. Disconnect the power supply before servicing.
Risk of Permanent Loss of Data To eliminate the risk of permanent loss of data, always adhere to the procedure instructions provided in this manual.
EMS-XL User’s Guide

CAUTIONS A CAUTION INDICATES A SITUATION IN WHICH THE UNIT, OR DEVICES CONNECTED TO IT, MAY BE DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTION.
• The EMS-XL System is designed to conform to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard IEC 60601-l-2 and will operate accurately in conjunction with other medical equipment which also meets this requirement. To avoid interference problems affecting the Monitor, do not use Monitor in the presence of equipment which does not conform to these specifications. Note:
The term "Monitor" refers to both the EMS-XL RT Monitor (Run Time) and the EMS-XL Review Screen.
• Do not apply pressurized air to any outlet, or tubing connected to the monitor. Pressure may destroy sensitive elements.
• Do not store the system outside the specified temperature range (-20ºC to +65ºC [-4ºF to +149ºF]).
• Leave space for circulation of air to prevent the system from overheating.
• Do not subject critical components of the system to excessive heat, bending or magnetic fields.
• To prevent any liquid from entering the casing of the display screen, do not tilt the display more than 45 degrees backwards, or 15 degrees forwards, and ensure that the display screen is not exposed to knocking and bumping.
