Safety Information
This manual supplies technical information for service representatives and
technical personnel so they can maintain the equipment to the assembly level.
Use it as a guide for maintenance and electrical repairs considered field
repairable. Where necessary the manual identifies additional sources of relevant
information and technical assistance. See the operator's manual for the
instructions necessary to operate the equipment safely in accordance with its
function and intended use.
A paper copy of this manual will be provided upon request. Contact your local GE
representative and request the part number on the first page of the manual.
The information presented in this section is important for the safety of both the
patient and operator. This chapter describes how the terms Danger, Warning,
Caution, Important, and Note are used throughout the manual. In addition,
standard equipment symbols are defined.
GE is responsible for the effects on safety, reliability, and performance only if:
assembly operations, extensions, readjustments, modifications, or repairs
are carried out by persons authorized by GE;
the electrical installation of the relevant room complies with the
requirements of appropriate regulations; and
the monitor is used in accordance with the instructions of use.
General
This device is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed health
care practitioner.
This device is not intended for home use. Federal law restricts this device to be
sold by or on the order of a physician.
Contact GE for information before connecting any devices to the equipment that
are not recommended in this manual.
Parts and accessories used must meet the requirements of the applicable IEC/
EN 60601 series safety standards, and/or the system configuration must meet
the requirements of the IEC 60601-1-1 medical electrical systems standard.
Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the device is in doubt, test all
functions.
The use of ACCESSORY equipment not complying with the equivalent safety
requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the
resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall include:
use of the accessory in the PATIENT VICINITY; and
evidence that the safety certification of the ACCESSORY has been performed
in accordance to the appropriate IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC 60601-1-1

Introduction: Safety Information
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
The terms danger, warning, and caution are used throughout this manual to
point out hazards and to designate a degree or level or seriousness. Familiarize
yourself with their definitions and significance. Hazard is defined as a source of
potential injury to a person.
WARNING indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potential hazard or unsafe practice which, if not avoided,
could result in minor personal injury or product/property damage.
NOTE provides application tips or other useful information to assure that you get
the most from your equipment.
Product Specific Hazards
WARNINGS
Do not use the CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor in the
presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices. There
have been reports of sensors causing patient burns when
operating in an MRI environment.
Do not use the Monitor in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
The use of approved accessories will provide protection from
burns during HF surgery. To help prevent unintended current
return paths with the use of high frequency (HF) surgical
equipment, ensure that the HF surgical neutral electrode is
properly connected.
To avoid personal injury, do not perform any servicing unless
qualified to do so.
These Monitors should not be used on patients who are
connected to cardiopulmonary bypass machines.
If powering the Monitor from an external power adapter or
converter, use only GE Medical Systems Information Technologies-approved power adapters and converters.
The Monitor does not include any user-replaceable fuses. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or
the back. Refer servicing to a qualif ied service person.
If the accuracy of any determination reading is questionable,
first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means and
then check the V100 Monitor for proper functioning.
Use of portable phones or other radio frequency (RF) emitting
equipment near the system may cause unexpected or adverse
operation.
The equipment or system should not be used adjacent to, or
stacked with, other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the equipment or system should be tested to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it is being used.
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than
those specified may result in increased emissions or decreased
immunity performance of the equipment or system.
CAUTIONS
Do not use replacement batteries other than the type supplied
with the Monitor. Replacement batteries are available from GE
Medical Systems - Accessories and Supplies.
The V100 Monitor is designed to conform to Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standard IEC 60601-1-2 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 the Monitor in the presence of
equipment which does not conform to these specifications.
Place the V100 Monitor on a rigid, secure surface. Monitor must
only be used with mounting hardware, poles, and stands
recommended by GE Medical Systems Information Technologies.
The weight of the accessory basket contents should not exceed
5 lb (2.7kg).
Arrange the external AC/DC power converter, air hoses, and all
cables carefully so they do not constitute a hazard.
Verify calibration of NIBP parameter (temperature and pulse
oximeter do not require calibration). Ensure that the display is
functioning properly before operating the V100 Monitor.
Do not immerse the Monitor in water. If the Monitor is splashed
with water or becomes wet, wipe it immediately with a dry cloth.
Do not gas sterilize or autoclave.
Caution should be taken to not set ALARM LIMITS to extreme
values, as this can render the ALARM SYSTEM useless.
The V100 Monitor, when used with GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies-approved applied parts and
accessories, is protected against defibrillator damage.
NOTE: The electromagnetic compatibility profile of the V100 Monitor may
change if accessories other than those specified for use with the V100
Monitor are used.

Equipment Overview: Equipment Description
Equipment Description
The CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor provides a small, portable, easy-to-use
monitoring alternative for sub-acute hospital and non-hospital settings. The
V100 is for use on adult, pediatric, or neonatal patients—one at a time. The
battery-operated monitor offers noninvasive determination of systolic blood
pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse rate, oxygen
saturation, and temperature. Monitors are available with or without integrated
printers as well as the following parameters and technologies.
The model of the monitor determines which parameters are in your monitor.
Please refer to applicable sections.
Using the V100 Monitor, a clinician can measure, display, and record patient vital
sign data that is derived from each parameter. The monitor is also capable of
alerting the clinician to changes in the patient’s condition or when it is unable to
effectively monitor the patient’s condition. All of the main operations of the V100
Monitor are easy-to-use and only a button-touch away. Please review the
factory default settings and, where applicable, enter settings appropriate for
your use.
