Precautions
Introduction
Precautions
CAUTION:
The use of portable and mobile RF communications
equipment, in the proximity of the Trio, can affect the
performance of this monitor.
CAUTION:
The use of unapproved accessories may diminish monitor
performance.
CAUTION:
The Trio should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the
Trio should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
CAUTION:
Operation of the Trio below the minimum amplitude or
value of PATIENT physiological signal may cause inaccurate
results (see section 6.0, Appendix).
CAUTION:
When using electrosurgery equipment, never place an
electrode near the grounding plate of the electrosurgery
device. This may create interference with the ECG signal.
CAUTION:
The patient size selection should be matched to the actual
patient before monitoring begins.
CAUTION:
To avoid possible damage to the Trio, use only approved
ECG cables and approved accessories.
CAUTION:
Line isolation transients may resemble actual cardiac
waveforms, thus inhibiting heart rate alarms. Check lead
wires for damage and ensure good skin contact prior to and
during use. Always use fresh electrodes and follow proper
skin preparation techniques.
CAUTION:
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those
specified in the manual may result in increased
Electromagnetic Emissions or decreased Electromagnetic
Immunity of the Trio. It can also cause delayed recovery
after the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator.
CAUTION:
Thoracic respiration measurement may interfere with some
pacemakers. Refer to the pacemaker's manufacturer
supplied manual.
CAUTION:
If a 3 Lead cable is used when a unit is set to 5 lead mode,
no ECG signal will be obtained. If a 5 lead cable is used
when the unit is set to 3 lead mode only Lead I, II and III are
operable.
CAUTION:
Do not place the SpO
2
sensor on an extremity with an
invasive catheter or blood pressure cuff in place.
CAUTION:
Tissue damage or inaccurate measurement may be caused
by incorrect sensor application or use, such as wrapping too
tightly, applying supplemental tape, failing to inspect the
sensor site periodically or failing to position appropriately.
Carefully read the sensor directions and all precautionary
information before use.
CAUTION:
Excessive ambient light may cause inaccurate
measurements. In such cases, cover the sensor site with
opaque material.
