WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD
If you are monitoring a patient and using the system connector, all equipment
connected to the system connector must be battery powered or electrically isolated
from AC power according to EN 60601-1. If in doubt, disconnect the patient from the
defibrillator before using the system connector. Only use Physio-Control recommended
data transmission cables. For more information, contact Physio-Control Technical
Support.
IMPROPER DEVICE PERFORMANCE HAZARD
RF communication equipment such as cell phones, modems and radios may interfere
with the performance of the monitor/defibrillator. If the monitor/defibrillator is used
near RF communication equipment, observe the recommended separation distances
in Table D-4 on page D-4. Certain RF communication equipment can be used at
distances that are less than those recommended in Table D-4. If the separation
distance is less than the recommended distance, use only equipment recommended
by Physio-Control and observe the monitor/defibrillator to verify normal operation.
