CASMED 740 Monitors
4. SAFETY MEASURES AND WARNINGS
WARNING:
Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than specified in this manual. Doing so will
invalidate the monitor’s warranty.
Do not connect more than one (1) patient to the monitor.
Do not plug the monitor into an outlet controlled by a wall switch.
Before each use, verify that the alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored.
The position of subject, physiological condition and other factors affect the readings.
Blood pressure and pulse can fluctuate greatly between measurements; the monitor cannot alert
the user to changes in vital signs occurring between measurement cycles.
Occasionally, electrical signals at the heart do not produce a peripheral pulse. If a patient’s
beat-to-beat pulse amplitude varies significantly (for example, pulsus alternans, atrial fibrillation,
rapid-cycling artificial ventilator), blood pressure and pulse rate readings can be erratic and an
alternate measuring method should be used for confirmation.
Where the integrity of the external protective conductor in the installation or its arrangement is in
doubt, EQUIPMENT shall be operated from its INTERNAL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE.
Isolation of product from mains can only be achieved by removal of external power cord.
Do not, under any circumstances, perform any testing or maintenance on the monitor or power
cord while the unit is being used to monitor a patient. Unplug the power cord before cleaning or
servicing the monitor. The operator should not perform any servicing except as specifically
stated in this manual.
Do not touch part of non-medical electrical equipment in the patient environment after removal of
covers, connectors etc… without the use of a tool which operate at voltages not exceeding 25
VAC or 60 VDC and the patient at the same time.
Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord, or any accessory if you notice any sign of damage.
Contact CAS Medical Systems for assistance.
