PAtIent SAFety
This Portable Patient Monitor is designed to comply with the International National Safety requirements
for medical electrical equipment. This device has floating inputs and is protected against the effects of
defibrillation and electrosurgery. If the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the
manufacturer instructions, the screen display will recover within 5 seconds after defibrillation.
This symbol indicates that the instrument is IEC 60601-1 Type CF equipment. The unit displaying
this symbol contains an F-Type isolated (floating) patient applied part providing a high degree of
protection against shock, and is suitable for use during defibrillation.
Warning
• Do not touch the patient, bed or instrument during defibrillation.
• Please use anti-defibrillation ECG cable during defibrillation.
Environment
Follow the instructions below to ensure a completely safe electrical installation. The environment where the
Monitor will be used should be reasonably free from vibration, dust, corrosive or explosive gases, extremes
of temperature, humidity, and so on. For a cabinet mounted installation, allow sufficient room at the front
for operation and sufficient room at the rear for servicing with the cabinet access door open.
The Monitor operates within specifications at ambient temperatures between 5°C and 40°C. Ambient
temperatures that exceed these limits could affect the accuracy of the instrument and cause damage
to the modules and circuits. Allow at least 2 inches (5cms) clearance around the instrument for proper air
circulation.
Power Source Requirements
Refer to chapter Production Specification.
Grounding the Monitor
To protect the patient and hospital personnel, the cabinet of the Monitor must be grounded. Accordingly, the
Monitor is equipped with a detachable 3-wire cable which grounds the instrument to the power line ground
(protective earth) when plugged into an appropriate 3-wire receptacle. If a 3-wire receptacle is not available,
consult the hospital electrician. If completeness of the protective grounding wire is in doubt, the equipment
must be operated with internal power supply.
Warning
Do not use a 3-wire to 2-wire adapter with this instrument.
