Operator’s Manual
Safety Information
WARNING: Keep patients under close surveillance when monitoring. It is possible, although unlikely, that radiated electromagnetic signals from sources external to the patient and the monitoring system can cause inaccurate measurement readings. WARNING: As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation. WARNING: Do not lift or carry the monitoring system by the pulse oximetry sensor or pulse oximetry interface cable. The cable may disconnect and cause the monitoring system to drop on a patient or cause damage to monitoring system surfaces.
1.2.4 Monitoring System Operation and Service
WARNING: Inspect the monitoring system and all accessories before use to ensure there are no signs of physical damage or improper function. Do not use if damaged. WARNING: To ensure accurate performance and prevent device failure, do not expose the monitoring system to extreme moisture, such as direct exposure to rain. Such exposure may cause inaccurate performance or device failure. Do not immerse in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions, since the monitoring system and pulse oximetry sensors and connectors are not waterproof. WARNING: Do not sterilize the monitoring system by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. WARNING: The monitoring system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the monitoring system to verify normal operation in the desired configuration.

Introduction
WARNING: The only user-serviceable parts inside the monitoring system are the four AA batteries. While users can open the battery cover to change the batteries, only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or access internal components for any other reason. Users should not modify any components of the monitoring system. WARNING: Do not spray, pour, or spill any liquid on the monitoring system, its accessories, connectors, switches, or openings in the casing, since this may cause damage to the monitoring system. Never place fluids on the monitoring system. If fluid spills on the monitoring system, remove batteries, wipe all components dry immediately, and have the monitoring system serviced to ensure no hazard exists. WARNING: Do not damage the batteries by applying pressure. Do not throw, hit, or drop or impact the batteries. WARNING: Keep the monitoring system and batteries out of reach of children to avoid any accidents. Caution: The monitoring system may not operate properly if it is operated or stored at conditions outside the ranges stated in this manual, or if it is subjected to excessive shock or dropping.
1.2.5 Monitoring System Readings

WARNING: The monitoring system may remain attached to the patient during defibrillation or during use of an electrosurgical unit; however, the monitoring system is not defibrillator-proof, and readings may be inaccurate during defibrillation and shortly thereafter.
Operator’s Manual
Safety Information
WARNING: Check the patient's vital signs by alternate means should there be any doubt about the accuracy of any measurement. Request a qualified service technician confirm the monitoring system is functioning correctly. WARNING: For best product performance and measurement accuracy, use only accessories supplied or recommended by Covidien. Use accessories according to their respective Instructions for Use.
1.2.6 Sensors, Cables, and Other Accessories
WARNING: Before use, carefully read the pulse oximetry sensor Instructions for Use, including all warnings, cautions, and instructions. WARNING: Use only the Covidien-approved pulse oximetry sensors, interface cables, and accessories. Use of other sensors, cables, and accessories can result in inaccurate readings and increased monitoring system emissions. WARNING: Do not use any other cables to extend the length of the Covidien-approved interface cable. Increasing the length will degrade signal quality and may lead to inaccurate measurements. WARNING: To prevent damage, avoid undue bending of the sensor cable. WARNING: The sensor disconnect error message and associated alarm indicate the pulse oximetry sensor is either disconnected or has faulty wiring. Check the connection and, if necessary, replace the sensor, the pulse oximetry cable, or both.

1.2.7 Electromagnetic Interference
1-6
WARNING: Any radio frequency transmitting equipment or other nearby sources of electrical noise may result in disruption of the monitoring system. WARNING: The monitoring system is designed for use in environments in which the signal can be obscured by electromagnetic interference. During such interference, measurements may seem inappropriate or the monitoring system may not seem to operate correctly. WARNING: Large equipment using a switching relay for its power on/off may affect monitoring system operation. Do not operate the monitoring system in such environments. Caution: This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices related to IEC 60601-1-2: 2007. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. Caution: This monitoring system generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. If interference is suspected, move pulse oximetry cables away from the susceptible device. Caution: Be aware of possible interference from sources of electromagnetic interference, such as cellular phones, radio transmitters, motors, telephones, lamps, electrosurgical units, defibrillators, and other medical devices. If pulse oximetry readings are not as expected for the patient’s condition, remove the sources of possible interference.
Operator’s Manual
Safety Information
1.2.8 Connections with Other Equipment
Caution: Accessory equipment connected to the monitoring system's data interface must be certified according to IEC Standard 60950-1 for data-processing equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1:2005 Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems. Anyone who connects additional equipment to the signal input or signal output port configures a medical system and is therefore responsible for ensuring the system complies with the requirements of IEC Standard 60601-1:2005 and IEC Standard 60601-1-2:2007. Caution: When connecting the monitoring system to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use.
