Safety Information 
 
System Warnings 
 
Warnings alert you to potential serious outcomes (including death, injury, 
or adverse events) to the patient or user. 
 
Patient Monitoring – The most reliable method of patient monitoring 
combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of 
monitoring equipment. 
 
Secondary Patient Monitoring System – The bedside monitor and 
central station make up the patient monitoring system. Patient alarm 
conditions and notifications are primary functions of the patient 
monitoring system. It is imperative that patient alarm conditions 
be monitored at the primary monitor or central station. The 
AlarmView System is not intended for use as the primary 
source for patient alarm notification.
 
 
Explosion Hazard – Do not use AlarmView System in the presence 
of flammable anesthetics, skin cleaning agents, disinfectants or 
gases. Care must be taken when the device is used in oxygen-
enriched environments (where room air contains 25% or more 
oxygen or nitrous oxide). 
 
Electrical Shock – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not 
remove the cover of the AlarmView transmitter. Refer servicing to 
qualified personnel. 
 
Pacemaker Interference – The programmer may cause interference 
with some pacemakers when used in close proximity. For patients 
with pacemakers, do not use the AlarmView programmer near a 
patient’s chest area or place the programmer on a patient’s chest. 
 
Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation Safety – The transmitter is 
designed for use as a mobile device as defined by the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC). Do not place the transmitter on 
a patient’s or user’s body. Ensure that the transmitter is located at 
least 20 cm from a patient or user’s body. Location of the transmitter
