OverviewElectrical shock hazardWhen you connect equipment to the Cardiocap/5 input and output connectors, you are configuring amedical system and are responsible for ensuring that the system complies with IEC/EN 60601-1-1and with local requirements.Do not touch any exposed wire or conductive surface while covers are off and the monitor is energized.The voltages present can cause injury or death.Always perform an electrical safety check and leakage current test of the monitor after service.Fuse replacementReplace a fuse only with one of the same type and rating.Explosion hazardTo avoid explosion hazard do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable anesthetics.Patient safetyDo not perform any testing or maintenance on the monitor while it is being used on a patient.Never install the monitor so that it is above the patient.The monitor must not be used without manufacturer approved mounting attached.Operation of the monitor outside the specified values may cause inaccurate results.To prevent erroneous readings, do not use physically damaged sensors or sensor cables. Discard adamaged sensor or sensor cable immediately. Never repair a damaged sensor or cable; never use asensor or cable repaired by others. A damaged sensor or a sensor soaked in liquid may cause burnsduring electrosurgery.PATIENTS WITH PACEMAKERS OR ARRHYTHMIAS: Monitor may count the pacemaker pulses as heartbeats during cardiac arrest, some arrhythmias, and with certain types of pacemakers particularly inON R mode. Do not rely entirely upon rate meter alarms. Keep patients with pacemakers andarrhythmias under close surveillance.PACEMAKER PATIENTS: The impedance respiration measurement may cause rate changes in MinuteVentilation Rate Responsive Pacemakers. In this case, set the pacemaker rate responsive mode off orturn the monitor impedance respiration measurement off.Temperature probesTo prevent injury, use Datex-Ohmeda temperature probes only.Cleaning and serviceOnly trained personnel with proper tools and test equipment should perform the tests and repairsdescribed in this manual. Unauthorized service may void the monitor warranty.Always unplug the monitor before cleaning or service. After cleaning or service ensure that every partof the monitor is dry before reconnecting it to the power supply.Do not touch any exposed wire or conductive surface while any cover is removed and the monitor isenergized. The voltages present can cause injury or death.Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warning symbol should not be touched. Connections shouldnot be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary procedures are used. For details, seesection “1.5.3 ESD precautionary procedures”.1-9
