Make sure all users and patients in contact with the equipment and/or system are free from direct or indirect electrostatic energy before using it.

4.Electromagnetic interference with any radio wave receiver such as radio or television:

If the equipment and/or system interferes with any radio wave receiver, locate the equipment and/or system as far as possible from the radio wave receiver.

If the above suggested remedial actions do not solve the problem, consult your Nihon Kohden Corporation

subsidiary or distributor for additional suggestions.

In IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electronic Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 2. Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic compatibility-Requirements and test. Section 36. 202. 2 Radiated radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, PATIENT COUPLED EQUIPMENT and/or SYSTEMS applicable IMMUNITY test methods are under consideration at SC62A/WG13. The 3 V/m IMMUNITY level may be inappropriate especially when measuring SpO2 because physiological signals can be much smaller than those induced by a 3 V/m electromagnetic field.

When measuring SpO2, various interference may produce false waveforms which look like pulse waveforms. SpO2 value and pulse rate may be measured from these false waveforms, causing the alarm to function improperly.

When installing the monitor, avoid locations where the monitor may receive strong electromagnetic interference such as radio or TV stations, cellular phone or mobile two-way radios.

WARNING

Interaction Between Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers and Cardiac Monitoring and Diagnostic Equipment*

The bioelectric impedance measurement sensor of a minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemaker may be affected by cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment which is connected to the same patient. If this occurs, the pacemaker may pace at its maximum rate and give incorrect data to the monitor or diagnostic equipment. If this occurs, disconnect the monitor or diagnostic equipment from the patient or change the setting on the pacemaker by referring to the pacemaker’s manual. For more details, contact your pacemaker distributor or Nihon Kohden distributor.

*Minute ventilation is sensed in rate-adaptive pacemakers by a technology known as bioelectric impedance measurement (BIM). Many medical devices in addition to pacemakers use this technology. When one of these devices is used on a patient with an active, minute ventilation rate-adaptive pacemaker, the pacemaker may erroneously interpret the mixture of BIM signals created in the patient, resulting in an elevated pacing rate.

For more information, see the FDA web site. http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html

WARNING

•Never use this monitor in the presence of any flammable anesthetic gas, concentrated oxygen or hyperbaric oxygen. Failure to follow this warning may result in explosion.

•Never use the monitor in a high-pressure oxygen medical care tank. Failure to follow this warning may cause explosion or fire.

•When using this monitor with an electrosurgery unit, its return plate and the electrodes for monitoring must be firmly attached to the patient. If the return plate is not attached correctly, it may burn the patient’s skin where the electrodes are attached. Refer to the instruction manual for the ESU.

•When performing MRI tests, remove the electrodes and transducers connected to the monitor from the patient. The heat generated from the induced electromotive force may burn the patient’s skin. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the MRI.

•When performing defibrillation, discharge as far as possible from electrodes and medicine on the chest of the patient. If there is a possibility that the defibrillator paddle could touch electrodes and medicine, remove electrodes and medicine from the patient. If the defibrillator directly contacts these materials, the discharged energy may cause serious electrical burn to the patient.

•Before performing defibrillation, check that the cords and cables of the electrodes and transducers attached to the patient are properly connected to the monitor. Touching the metal parts of disconnected cords and cables may cause serious electrical shock or injury by discharged energy.

•To avoid the risk of serious electrical burn, shock or other injury during defibrillation, all persons must keep clear of the bed and must not touch the patient or any equipment connected to the patient.

•During alarm suspension, all current alarms are temporarily turned off.

•When EXIT SLEEP MODE ON ALARM on the SYSTEM SETUP screen is set to NO, the bedside monitor alarm cannot be seen or heard on the bedside monitor during sleep mode. Attach the transmitter (option) to the monitor and monitor the bedside monitor alarm on the central monitor or telemetry system. Otherwise, bedside monitor alarms may be overlooked.

CAUTION

•Use only Nihon Kohden specified electrodes, probes and cuffs. Otherwise, the maximum performance from the monitor cannot be guaranteed.

•Do not reuse disposable parts.
