About warnings and cautions Warning and caution statements can appear on the monitor, on the packaging, on the shipping container, or in this document. The monitor is safe for patients and clinicians when used in accordance with the instructions and the warning and caution statements presented in this manual. Before using the monitor, familiarize yourself with the sections of this directions for use that pertain to your use of the monitor. WARNING The warning statements in this manual identify conditions or practices that could lead to illness, injury, or death. CAUTION The caution statements in this manual identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the equipment or other property, or loss of patient data.
General warnings and cautions WARNING Patient injury risk. Many environmental variables, including patient physiology and clinical application, can affect the accuracy and performance of the monitor. The clinician must verify all vital signs information before treating the patient. If there is any question about the accuracy of a measurement, verify the measurement using another clinically accepted method. WARNING Patient injury risk. To ensure data integrity and patient confidentiality, save readings and clear the monitor's display between patients. WARNING Personal injury risk. The power cord is the disconnect device to isolate this equipment from supply mains. Position the equipment so that it is not difficult to reach or disconnect the cord. WARNING Patient injury risk. Damaged cords, cables, and accessories can affect patient and operator safety. Never lift the monitor by the power supply cord or patient connections. Routinely inspect the AC power cord, blood pressure cuff, SpO2 cable, and other accessories for strain relief wear, fraying, or other damage. Replace as necessary. WARNING Patient injury risk. During defibrillation, keep discharge paddles away from the monitor ECG lead wires, electrodes, any other monitor sensors, and other conductive parts in contact with the patient.

About warnings and cautions
Connex® Spot Monitor
WARNING Patient injury risk. Any external compression of the blood pressure hose or cuff may cause patient injury, system errors, or inaccurate measurements. WARNING Patient injury risk. Wash hands to reduce the risk of crosscontamination and nosocomial infection. WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not place the monitor in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. WARNING Patient injury risk. Verify patient identity on the monitor after manual or barcode entry and before printing or transferring patient records. Failure to identify the correct patient can result in patient injury. WARNING Equipment failure and patient injury risk. Do not cover the air intake or exhaust vents on the rear and base of the monitor. Covering these vents could cause overheating of the monitor or muffling of alarms. WARNING This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of electro-surgery. WARNING For operator and patient safety, peripheral equipment and accessories that can come in direct patient contact must comply with all applicable safety, EMC, and regulatory requirements. WARNING Equipment damage and personal injury risk. When transporting the monitor on a mobile stand, properly secure all patient cables and cords to keep them clear of the wheels and to minimize trip hazards. WARNING Equipment damage and personal injury risk. No modifications to the monitor are allowed by anyone other than a qualified Welch Allyn service representative. Modification of the monitor could be hazardous to patients and personnel. WARNING Fire and explosion hazard. Do not operate the monitor in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide; in oxygen-enriched environments; or in any other potentially explosive environment. WARNING Fire and shock hazard. Only connect LAN cables contained within the perimeter of a single building. Conductive LAN cables spanning multiple buildings may introduce fire or shock hazards unless they are fitted with fiber optic cables, lightning arresters, or other applicable safety features. WARNING Electric shock hazard. This equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective earth. WARNING Electric shock hazard. Do not open the monitor or attempt repairs. The monitor has no user-serviceable internal parts. Only perform routine cleaning and maintenance procedures specifically described in this manual. Inspection and servicing of internal parts shall only be performed by qualified service personnel.

WARNING Electric shock hazard. All signal input and output (I/O) connectors are intended for connection of only devices complying with IEC 60601-1, or other IEC standards (for example, IEC 60950), as applicable to the monitor. Connecting additional devices to the monitor may increase chassis or patient leakage currents. To maintain operator and patient safety, consider the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. Measure the leakage currents to confirm that no electric shock hazard exists. WARNING Explosion or contamination hazard. Improper disposal of batteries may create an explosion or contamination hazard. Never dispose of batteries in refuse containers. Always recycle batteries accord ing to local regulations. WARNING Use the monitor only as described in this directions for use. Do not use the monitor on patients as described in the Contraindications. WARNING Alarm limits are patient- or facility-specific. The clinician must set or verify alarm limits appropriate for each patient. Each time the monitor is powered on, you must check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring. WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. The monitor is not intended for use during patient transport outside of the medical facility. Do not use the monitor to take measurements on any patient in transit. WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not connect more than one patient to a monitor. WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Dust and particle ingress can affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurements. Use the monitor in clean environments to ensure measurement accuracy. If you notice dust or lint build-up on the monitor's vent openings, have the monitor inspected and cleaned by a qualified service technician. WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not expose to temperatures higher than 122º F (50º C). WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not use the monitor on patients who are on heart-lung machines. WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk.

CAUTION United States Federal law restricts this monitor to sale, distribution, or use by or on the order of a physician or licensed healthcare professional. CAUTION Electromagnetic interference risk. The monitor complies with applicable domestic and international standards for electromagnetic interference. These standards are intended to minimize medical equipment electromagnetic interference. Although this monitor is not expected to present problems to other compliant equipment or be affected by other compliant devices, interference issues still may occur. As a precaution, avoid using the monitor in close proximity to other equipment. In the event that equipment interference is observed, relocate the equipment as necessary or consult manufacturer's directions for use. CAUTION Do not move the stand while the power source is plugged into the mains outlet. CAUTION Do not sterilize the monitor. Sterilizing the monitor could harm the device. CAUTION Use only a Class I (grounded) AC power cord to charge the power source for the monitor. CAUTION Do not use a long press of to power down the monitor when it is functioning normally. You will lose patient data and configuration settings. CAUTION Never move the monitor or mobile stand by pulling on any of the cords. This may cause the monitor to tip over or damage the cord. Never pull on the power cord when disconnecting the cord from the mains outlet. When disconnecting the power cord, always grasp the attachment plug. Keep the cord away from liquids, heat, and sharp edges. Replace the power cord if the strain relief, cord insulation, or metal prongs are damaged or begin to separate from the attachment plug. CAUTION Use only the Welch Allyn USB client cable to connect a laptop computer to the USB client port. Any laptop connected to the monitor must be running on a battery, a 60601-1 compliant power supply, or a 60601-1 compliant isolation transformer.
