How To Use This Manual
This manual insert describes the use of the M Series
®
CCT option.
CAUTION! The user must be familiar with the M Series before operating an M Series CCT. If
not familiar with the M Series, read the M Series Operator’s Guide and relevant
option inserts.
Before operating an M Series CCT, if you are unfamiliar with the M Series, read the M Series
Operator’s Guide and the relevant inserts. Thoroughly read the safety considerations and warnings
sections in both the M Series Operator’s Guide and the relevant option inserts. Consult the
Troubleshooting section of those manuals if the M Series CCT fails to operate as expected.
This insert includes information only on the features not found in the standard M Series units. Unless
otherwise noted in this insert, the M Series CCT features are identical to standard M Series features.
Place this insert in the three-ring binder with the M Series Operator’s Guide and all other option inserts.
Safety Summary
The following is a short summary of warnings, cautions, and other safety information related to the
M Series CCT option. Additional warnings and cautions are in the text of this insert. Read this section
thoroughly before operating the M Series CCT.
• Read the M Series Operator’s Guide and this manual insert before use.
• The M Series CCT is to be operated by qualified personnel only.
• Do not use in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics or other flammable
agents (such as gasoline). Do not use near the site of a gasoline spill. Explosion may result.
• Avoid using the M Series CCT adjacent to or stacked on other equipment. If unavoidable, check
that the M Series CCT operates normally in this configuration before clinical use.
• The device is protected against interference from radio frequency emissions typical of two-way
radios and cellular phones (digital and analog) used in emergency service/public safety activities.
Users should assess the device’s performance in their typical environment of use for the possibility
of radio frequency interference from high-power sources. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may
be observed as shifts in monitor baseline, trace compression, display brightness changes, or
transient spikes on the display.
• The M Series CCT should be installed and put into service according to the Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) information provided in this insert.
• Route patient cabling and hoses carefully to avoid patient entanglement, strangulation or
compression of hose.
• Do not touch the bed, patient, or any equipment connected to the patient during defibrillation. A
severe shock to the operator can result.
• Do not allow exposed portions of the patient’s body to come in contact with metal objects, such as
a bed frame during defibrillation. Unwanted electrical pathways can result.
• If an alarm occurs while the alarms are suspended, audio alarm tones do not sound, only visual
alarm messages display.
