warranties or merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose.
Philips Medical Systems
shall not be liable for

WARNING
As with electronic equipment, Radio Frequency
(RF) interference between
the cardiograph and any
existing RF transmitting or
receiving equipment at the
installation site, including
electrosurgical equipment, should be evaluated
carefully and any limitations noted before the
equipment is placed in
service.
Radio frequency generation from electrosurgical
equipment and close proximity transmitters may
seriously degrade performance.
WARNING
Like all electronic devices,
this cardiograph is susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Electrostatic discharge typically
occurs when electrostatic
energy is transferred to the
patient, the electrodes, or
the cardiograph.
ESD may result in ECG
artifact that may appear as
narrow spikes on the
cardiograph display or on
the printed report. When
ESD occurs, the cardiograph ECG interpretation
may be inconsistent with
the physician interpretation.
Philips Medical Systems
assumes no liability for
failures resulting from RF
interference between
Philips Medical Systems
medical electronics and
any radio frequency generating equipment at levels
exceeding those established by applicable standards.
CAUTION
The use of parts or accessories other than those
approved by Philips
Medical Systems may
compromise product
performance.
United States federal law
restricts this device to use
by or on the order of a
physician.

Important Patient and Safety Information
The PageWriter Trim cardiograph isolates all connections to the patient from electrical ground
and all other conductive circuits in the cardiograph. This reduces the possibility of hazardous
currents passing from the cardiograph through the patient’s heart to ground, and from other
equipment connected to the patient passing through the leads into the cardiograph to ground.
WARNING Failure to follow these warnings could affect both patient and operator safety.
When operating the cardiograph on AC power, ensure that the cardiograph and all other
electrical equipment connected to or near the patient are effectively grounded.
Use only grounded power cords (three-wire power cords with grounded plugs) and
grounded electrical outlets. Never adapt a grounded plug to fit an ungrounded outlet by
removing the ground prong. Use the equipotential post when redundant earth ground is
necessary according to IEC 60601-1-1.
If a safe ground connection is not ensured, operate the cardiograph on battery power only.
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 cardiograph, or
detach the leads from the patient prior to performing any procedure that uses high
frequency surgical equipment.
Do not perform ST analysis on the R/T ECG screen display or on Rhythm reports when
the 0.5 Hz Baseline Wander filter is applied.
PageWriter Trim Cardiograph Instructions for Use iii
Important Patient and Safety Information
If abnormal ECG data appears on the printed report, and the abnormal data does not have
a physiological origin, perform the printer diagnostic test to assess printer performance
(see page 7-13).
When printing a Rhythm report, there may be a slight delay before the Rhythm report
begins to print on the cardiograph. Rhythm printing is not completed in real-time.
Pace pulse tick marks will not print on an Auto report that uses simultaneous acquisition.
WARNING Do not touch accessible connector pins and the patient simultaneously.
Electrical shock hazard. Keep cardiograph, Patient Interface Module (PIM) and all
cardiograph accessories away from liquids. Do not immerse cardiograph, PIM, or other
accessories in any liquids.
Periodically inspect the patient data cable, lead wires, and AC power cord for any worn or
cracked insulation to ensure that no inner conductive material is exposed. Discard worn
accessories and replace them only with Philips Medical Systems accessories (see page 7-
20).
Keep the patient data cable away from power cords and any other electrical equipment.
Failure to do so can result in AC power line frequency interference on the ECG trace.
The Philips Medical Systems patient data cable (supplied with cardiograph) is an integral
part of the cardiograph safety features. Use of any other patient data cable may
compromise defibrillation protection, degrade cardiograph performance, and may result in
distorted ECG data.
Only qualified personnel may service the cardiograph or may open the cardiograph
housing to access internal cardiograph components. Do not open any covers on the
cardiograph. There are no internal cardiograph components that are serviced by the
operator.
Do not use this cardiograph near flammable anesthetics. It is not intended for use in
explosive environments or in operating rooms.
Do not touch the patient, the patient data cable, any unused patient leads, or the
cardiograph during defibrillation. Death or injury may occur from the electrical shock
delivered by the defibrillator.
The PageWriter Trim I is not recommended for diagnostic cardiograph use during
defibrillation. It does not provide less than 10 seconds of real-time data.
Always use electrode gel with reusable electrodes during defibrillation as ECG recovery
will be greater than 10 seconds. Philips Medical Systems recommends the use of
disposable electrodes at all times.
Ensure that the electrodes or lead wires do not come in contact with any other conductive
materials (including earth-grounded materials) especially when connecting or
disconnecting electrodes to or from a patient.
iv PageWriter Trim Cardiograph Instructions for Use
Important Patient and Safety Information
Connecting multiple medical electrical equipment to the same patient may pose a safety
hazard due to the summation of leakage currents. Any combination of instruments should
be evaluated by local safety personnel before being put into service.
Portable medical equipment such as X-rays and MRI may produce electromagnetic
interference that produces noise in the ECG signal. Move the cardiograph away from these
potential sources of electromagnetic interference.
Do not pull on the paper while an ECG report is being printed. This can cause distortion of
the waveform and can lead to potential misdiagnosis.
Only use the Philips Medical Systems AC power cord supplied with the cardiograph.
Periodically inspect the AC power cord and AC power connector (rear of cardiograph, see
figure 1-2 on page 1-8) to ensure that both are in a safe and operable condition. If the AC
power cord or AC power connector is not in a safe or operable condition, operate the
cardiograph on battery power and contact Philips Medical Systems for service.
The cardiograph has been safety tested with the recommended accessories, peripherals,
and leads, and no hazard was found when the cardiograph is operated with cardiac
pacemakers or other stimulators.
Do not connect any equipment or accessories to the cardiograph that are not manufactured
or approved by Philips Medical Systems or that are not IEC 60601-1 approved. The
operation or use of non-approved equipment or accessories with the cardiograph is not
tested or supported, and cardiograph operation and safety are not guaranteed.
The list of cables and other accessories with which Philips claims compliance with the
emissions and immunity requirements of IEC standard 60601-1-2 are listed in “Supplies
and Ordering Information” on page 7-20.
WARNING When using additional peripheral equipment powered from an electrical source other
than the cardiograph, the combination is considered to be a medical system. It is the
responsibility of the operator to comply with IEC 60601-1-1 and test the medical system
according to the requirements. For additional information contact Philips Medical
Systems.
WARNING Do not use non-medical peripherals within 1.83 meters or 6 feet of a patient unless the
non-medical peripherals receive power from the cardiograph or from an isolation
transformer that meets medical safety standards.
Only install Philips Medical Systems software on the cardiograph. The installation or use
of software not approved by Philips Medical Systems is strictly prohibited and
cardiograph safety and performance are not guaranteed.
Only use Philips Medical Systems replacement parts and supplies with the cardiograph.
The use of non-approved replacement parts and supplies with the cardiograph is strictly
prohibited. Cardiograph safety and performance are not guaranteed when non-approved
replacement parts and supplies are used with the cardiograph.
