CASMED 740 Vital Signs Monitor - Implox

CASMED 740 Monitors
WARNING:
Do not gas sterilize or autoclave the monitor.
Do not use the monitor in the presence of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment.
Do not apply the blood pressure cuff on an extremity being used for an intravenous infusion.
Do not place liquids on top of the monitor. Do not immerse the monitor or power cord in water or
any liquid. If unit is accidentally wetted it should be thoroughly dried. The rear cover can be
removed by a qualified service technician to verify absence of water.
During use and testing, single-use disposable temperature probe covers will limit patient crosscontamination
and ensure the safety of the patient, user and device. The use of any other probe
covers or failure to use a probe cover may produce temperature errors and will invalidate the
monitor’s warranty.
A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend toward patient
deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to
completely understand the patient’s condition.
Accurate oxygen saturation measurements cannot be obtained when the oximeter is not
measuring the pulse properly. If the perfusion LED is erratic or the Pulse Rate display is erratic
or inaccurate, first examine the patient for any sign of distress and only then re-examine sensor
placement.
ACCURACY – If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the
patient’s vital signs by alternate means and then check the CASMED 740 Monitor for proper
functioning.
CABLES – Route all cables away from patient’s throat to avoid possible strangulation.
DEFIBRILLATION – Do not come in contact with patients during defibrillation. Serious injury or
death could result.
DISPOSAL – Dispose of the packaging material, observing the applicable waste control
regulations.
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST – The interconnection of auxiliary equipment, including a patient
monitor or other patient equipment, with this device may increase the total leakage current.
When interfacing with other equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed by a
qualified biomedical engineering personnel before using with patients. Serious injury or death
could result if the leakage current exceeds applicable standards.
SITE REQUIREMENTS – For safety reasons, all connectors for patient cables and sensor leads
are designed to prevent inadvertent disconnection, should someone pull on them. Do not route
cables in a way that they may present a stumbling hazard. For devices installed above the
patient, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent them from dropping on the patient.
