WARNING
2. Only qualified service engineers can install this equipment, and only service
engineers authorized by the manufacturer can open the shell. Otherwise, safety
hazards may happen.
3. EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the system in the presence of flammable
anesthetic mixtures with oxygen or other flammable agents.
4. SHOCK HAZARD - The power receptacle must be a hospital grade grounded outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet.
5. Only the patient cable and other accessories supplied by the manufacturer can be
used. Or else, the performance and electric shock protection cannot be guaranteed.
The system has been safety tested with the recommended accessories, peripherals,
and leads, and no hazard is found when the system is operated with cardiac
pacemakers or other stimulators.
6. The use of patient cable and other accessories not supplied by the manufacturer may
result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.
7. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the patient correctly before operation.
8. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting objects.
9. Disposable electrodes must be used during defibrillation.
10. Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used; otherwise it may cause a high
polarization voltage.
11. The disposable electrodes can only be used for one time.
12. Do not touch the patient, bed, table or the equipment while using the ECG together
with a defibrillator.
13. Do not touch accessible parts of electrical equipment and the patient simultaneously.
14. The use of equipment that applies high frequency voltages to the patient (including
electrosurgical equipment and some respiration transducers) is not supported and
may produce undesired results. Disconnect the patient data cable from the ECG
workstation, or detach the leads from the patient prior to performing any procedure
that uses high frequency surgical equipment.
15. Fix attention on the examination to avoid missing important ECG waves.
16. SHOCK HAZARD - Don't connect non-medical electrical equipment, which has been
supplied as a part of the system, directly to the wall outlet when the non-medical
equipment is intended to be supplied by a multiple portable socket-outlet with an
isolation transformer.
