Important Safety Information
General
WARNING
• Never use the transmitter in the presence of any flammable anesthetic gas or
high concentration oxygen atmosphere.  Failure to follow this warning may
cause explosion or fire.
• Never use the transmitter in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.  Failure to follow
this warning may cause explosion or fire.
• When performing MRI test, remove all electrodes from the patient which are
connected to this instrument.  Failure to follow this warning may cause skin
burn on the patient.  For details, refer to the MRI manual.
• Before defibrillation, check that the electrode leads and SpO
2
 probe attached
to the patient are properly connected to the transmitter.  Touching the metal
parts of disconnected leads and probes may cause electrical shock or injury
by discharged energy.
• When performing defibrillation, discharge as far as possible from electrodes,
patches and any gel, cream or medicine on the chest of the patient.  If there is
a possibility that the defibrillator paddle could touch these materials, remove
them from the patient.  If the defibrillator paddle directly contacts these
materials, the discharged energy may cause skin burn to the patient.
• Before defibrillation, all persons must keep clear of the bed and must not
touch the patient or any equipment connected to the patient.  Failure to follow
this warning may cause electrical shock or injury.
• When the transmitter is used with an electrosurgical unit (ESU), firmly attach
the entire area of the ESU return plate.  Otherwise, the current from the ESU
flows into the electrodes of the transmitter, causing electrical burn where the
electrodes are attached.  For details, refer to the ESU manual.
• Close the battery case cover during operation.  If the transmitter is used with
the battery case cover open, anyone who touches the opened battery case
may receive an electrical shock when defibrillation is performed.  Touching the
opened battery case may cause electrostatic discharge and intermittently
interfere with the waveform or data.
• This transmitter is not waterproof.  If detergent or liquid spills into the
transmitter, stop using it and contact your Nihon Kohden representative.  If a
wet transmitter is used, the patient or operator may receive an electrical
shock or injury.
