WARNING When considering a treatment protocol that involves wireless
communication of patient data, be sure to recognize some limitations inherent
in wireless communications. When the monitor is not connected to the
network:
There are no patient alarms or alerts at the Acuity Central Station.
Acuity does not perform arrhythmia and ST analysis on the patient data
and does not generate related alarms.
Patient data is not saved.
WARNING Do not try to monitor neonatal patients with the monitor. The
monitor is intended for adult or pediatric patients. It is not intended for use with
pediatric patients (or infants) weighing less than 22 lbs (10 kg).
WARNING Always check the patient mode at Acuity when monitoring a new
patient. The patient mode determines default alarm limits and internal algorithm
settings.
WARNING The monitor may not meet its performance specifications if stored
or used outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
WARNING Do not connect more than one patient to a monitor. Do not connect
more than one monitor to a patient.
WARNING During defibrillation, keep the discharge paddles away from ECG
and other electrodes, as well as other conductive parts in contact with the
patient.
WARNING Do not operate this product in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or other flammable substances in combination with air, oxygen-
enriched environments, or nitrous oxide; explosion can result.
WARNING Do not use the monitor in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
suite or a hyperbaric chamber. Such use can cause fire or explosion resulting in
patient injury and monitor damage.
