This section will tell you what operative procedures should be paid close attention to, how to avoid abnormal
operation, and what possible detrimental risks might occur to this series of monitors or animal when you use this
series of monitors.
The company‘s Imperatives: please read the manual thoroughly before using this series of monitors, and perform
the operative procedures according to the instructions described in it; The company won‘t take any safe, reliable
or performance guarantee responsibility for abnormal monitor phenomena or animal body injures caused by
violation of the requirements concerning monitor application or maintenance indicated in this section and the user
manual, nor offer free maintenance for such breakdowns. Once again, the company reminds you to read the
contents of the current section and the manual before use.
For ＜10 kg animals and ＞20 kg animals model is prohibited for blood pressure measurement. Or,
the pressure may cause limb injuries, or even limb necrosis.
This series of monitors can only be used for one animal at a time.
Customer required reading blood pressure monitoring is prohibited for animals with a serious
hemorrhage tendency or sickle cells. Or, local hemorrhage may occur.
A cuff is prohibited for an infused or intubated limb or an area with local skin injuries. Or, it may lead
to limb injuries.
Continuous use of the ear-clamping or tongue-clamping pulse oxygen sensor may cause discomfort
or a pressure pain, especially for animals with microcirculation disturbance. No more than two-hour
clamping for the same finger is recommended.
More careful inspection of the pulse oxygen sensor measurement site should be done for animals
with special needs. The sensor cannot be placed on edematous or fragile tissues.
This series of monitors must be well grounded in order to prevent possible electrical danger as well
as to secure a good ECG signal quality.
Although all animal contact parts of this series of monitors have been approved by bio-compatibility
tests, some individuals may still have allergies to monitors parts. The application of this series of
monitors must be stopped for animals that have allergies to monitors.
All measurement cords and plastic tubes should be kept away from the animal‟s neck in order to
avoid asphyxia caused by neck winding.
Accessories cannot be replaced indiscriminately. When accessory replacement is necessary, an
accessory of the same type provided by the manufacturer or approved for this series of monitors
should be used. Only the accessories from the same manufacturer and of the same type can be
used for accessory replacement. Or, adverse consequences of safety and bio-compatibility may
occur.
Do not open the pulse oxygen sensor and look directly at the light device (as the infrared light can‟t
be detected by eyes). The warning also applies to maintenance persons. The light may harm to your
eyes.
If this series of monitors falls accidentally, its use must be stopped. Only after safety and technical
index tests prove this series of monitors is still operational, it can go on to being used.
When blood pressure is measured, the manual mode is recommended by the manufacturer. If the
automated or continuous model is selected, a qualified observer should be present.
For animals with pacemakers, heart rate meter may be in asystole or arrhythmia the pacemaker
