WARNING:
X
This device is not intended to provide a primary ECG monitoring function, and therefore does
not have means of indicating an inoperative electrocardiograph.
X
Do not use ECG electrodes of HF surgical equipment. Any malfunctions in the HF surgical
equipment may result in burns to the patient.
X
Do not use ECG electrodes during cardiac pacemaker procedures or other electrical stimulators.
X
Do not use ECG leads and electrodes in an operating room.
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating
or air conditioning. During low humidity conditions, electrical charges naturally build up on individuals,
creating static electricity. An ESD occurs when an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in
contact with conductive objects such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even
other individuals. The static shock or ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy build-up from a charged
individual to a lesser or non-charged individual or object.
CAUTION:
X
The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or patient to an ultrasound system
can be significant enough to cause damage to the system or probes.
X
Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using connectors marked with the
ESD warning label.
−
Apply anti-static spray on carpets or linoleum.
−
Use anti-static mats.
−
Ground the product to the patient table or bed.
X
It is highly recommended that the user be given training on ESD-related warning symbols and
preventive procedures.
