Indications for Use
ix
Exposure of electrical contacts or connections to saline or other liquids and gels is
dangerous. Electrical contacts and connections such as cable connectors, power
supplies, parameter module plug-in connections and rack connections must be kept
clean and dry. Thoroughly dry any electrical connections that become contaminated
with liquids. If additional decontamination is required please contact your biomedical
department or Philips Medical Systems Response Center.
Although this equipment is shielded against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), it is
recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating devices in close proximity to this
equipment.
Connecting the Philips monitoring network (SDN) cable when the product is powered on
is not supported. Error codes and Philips monitoring network (SDN) interface lock-up
may occur. Power cycling the product will recover the product. No permanent damage
will result. To prevent unintentional disruption in monitoring, be sure the SDN interface
cable is properly secured at both ends when connecting to the Philips monitoring
network (SDN).
Do not connect a second rack by a cable when using a module rack docked to the back
of the V24CT or V26CT. Using a second rack connected by a cable may disrupt module
communication.
Caution
A “caution” calls attention to a condition or possible situation that could cause injury to the
user.
Ventilation Requirements - Failure to meet ventilation requirements may cause
equipment failure and, in turn, jeopardize the functions of automated monitoring. Do not
locate equipment in an enclosed area which could restrict heat dissipation.
Maintenance - Failure on the part of the responsible individual, hospital, or institution
employing the use of this equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule
may cause undue equipment failure and possible health hazards.
Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the patient monitor. Moisture droplets may
enter the internal components and cause equipment malfunction or failure. Cleaning
solutions should be applied to a cloth and the cloth used to wipe the monitor clean. The
monitor should be turned off during cleaning.
