Philips V24CT, V26CT manual Indications for Use

Indications for Use

•Exposure of electrical contacts or connections to saline or other liquids and gels is dangerous. Electrical contacts and connections such as cable connectors, power supplies, parameter module plug-in connections and rack connections must be kept clean and dry. Thoroughly dry any electrical connections that become contaminated with liquids. If additional decontamination is required please contact your biomedical department or Philips Medical Systems Response Center.

•Although this equipment is shielded against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating devices in close proximity to this equipment.

•Connecting the Philips monitoring network (SDN) cable when the product is powered on is not supported. Error codes and Philips monitoring network (SDN) interface lock-up may occur. Power cycling the product will recover the product. No permanent damage will result. To prevent unintentional disruption in monitoring, be sure the SDN interface cable is properly secured at both ends when connecting to the Philips monitoring network (SDN).

•Do not connect a second rack by a cable when using a module rack docked to the back of the V24CT or V26CT. Using a second rack connected by a cable may disrupt module communication.

Caution

A “caution” calls attention to a condition or possible situation that could cause injury to the user.

•Ventilation Requirements - Failure to meet ventilation requirements may cause equipment failure and, in turn, jeopardize the functions of automated monitoring. Do not locate equipment in an enclosed area which could restrict heat dissipation.

•Maintenance - Failure on the part of the responsible individual, hospital, or institution employing the use of this equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue equipment failure and possible health hazards.

•Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the patient monitor. Moisture droplets may enter the internal components and cause equipment malfunction or failure. Cleaning solutions should be applied to a cloth and the cloth used to wipe the monitor clean. The monitor should be turned off during cleaning.
