General warnings and cautions
WARNING Patient injury risk. Many environmental variables, including
patient physiology and clinical application, can affect the accuracy and
performance of the monitor. Therefore, you must verify all vital signs
information, especially NIBP and SpO2, before treating the patient. If there
is any question about the accuracy of a measurement, verify the
measurement using another clinically accepted method.
WARNING Patient injury risk. To ensure data integrity and patient
confidentiality, save readings and clear the monitor's display between
patients.
WARNING Personal injury risk. The power cord is the disconnect device to
isolate this equipment from supply mains. Position the equipment so that it
is not difficult to reach or disconnect the cord.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Damaged cords, cables, and accessories can
affect patient and operator safety. Never lift the monitor by the power
supply cord or patient connections. Routinely inspect the AC power cord,
blood pressure cuff, SpO2 cable, and other accessories for strain relief
wear, fraying, or other damage. Replace as necessary.
WARNING Patient injury risk. During defibrillation, keep discharge paddles
away from monitor sensors and other conductive parts in contact with the
patient.
8 About warnings and cautionsConnex® Spot Monitor
WARNING Patient injury risk. Any external compression of the blood
pressure hose or cuff may cause patient injury, system errors, or inaccurate
measurements.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Wash hands to reduce the risk of crosscontamination and nosocomial infection.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not place the monitor in any position that
might cause it to fall on the patient.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Verify patient identity on the monitor after
manual or barcode entry and before printing or transferring patient records.
Failure to identify the correct patient can result in patient injury.
WARNING Patient injury risk. If you use Stat mode repeatedly, periodically
observe the patient's limb to ensure that circulation is not impaired and that
the cuff remains in place. Prolonged impairment of circulation or improper
cuff position can cause bruising.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not place the cuff on the arm on the
same side of a mastectomy. If necessary, use the femoral artery in the
thigh to take a measurement.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not place the cuff where it
can disturb proper circulation. Do not place the cuff on any area where
circulation is compromised or on any extremity used for intravenous
infusions. Do not use an SpO2 finger clip sensor and a blood pressure cuff
simultaneously on the same limb. Doing so may cause a temporary loss of
pulsatile flow, resulting in either no reading or an inaccurate SpO2 or pulse
rate until the flow returns.
WARNING Do not apply cuff to areas on patient where skin is delicate or
damaged. Check cuff site frequently for irritation.
WARNING Equipment failure and patient injury risk. Do not cover the air
intake or exhaust vents on the rear and base of the monitor. Covering
these vents could cause overheating of the monitor or muffling of alarms.
WARNING This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of
electro-surgery.
WARNING For operator and patient safety, peripheral equipment and
accessories that can come in direct patient contact must comply with all
applicable safety, EMC, and regulatory requirements.
WARNING Equipment damage and personal injury risk. When transporting
the monitor on a mobile stand, properly secure all patient cables and cords
to keep them clear of the wheels and to minimize trip hazards.

chassis or patient leakage currents. To maintain operator and patient
safety, consider the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. Measure the leakage
currents to confirm that no electric shock hazard exists.
WARNING Explosion or contamination hazard. Improper disposal of
batteries may create an explosion or contamination hazard. Never dispose
of batteries in refuse containers. Always recycle batteries according to local
regulations.
WARNING Use the monitor only as described in this directions for use. Do
not use the monitor on patients as described in the Contraindications.
WARNING Alarm limits are patient- or facility-specific. The clinician must
set or verify alarm limits appropriate for each patient. Each time the
monitor is powered on, you must check that the alarm settings are
appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. The monitor is not intended for
use during patient transport outside of the medical facility. Do not use the
monitor to take measurements on any patient in transit.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not connect more than one
patient to a monitor.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Dust and particle ingress can
affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurements. Use the monitor in
clean environments to ensure measurement accuracy. If you notice dust or
lint build-up on the monitor's vent openings, have the monitor inspected
and cleaned by a qualified service technician.
