Chapter 1 Safety Guidance
This chapter provides important safety information related to the use of VE-1010 Veterinary
(hereinafter called VET) PC ECG.
1.1 Intended Use
VE-1010 VET PC ECG is a PC-based diagnostic tool intended to acquire, process and store ECG
signals from pets undergoing resting test. VE-1010 VET PC ECG is intended to be used only in
pet hospitals by trained veterinary surgeons or technicians or drug researchers. The cardiogram
recorded by VE-1010 VET PC ECG can help users to analyze and diagnose heart disease.
However the ECG with measurements and interpretive statements is offered to users on an
advisory basis only.
1.2 Warnings and Cautions
To use the system safely and effectively, firstly be familiar with the operation method of
Windows and read the user manual in detail to be familiar with the proper operation method for
the purpose of avoiding the possibility of system failure. The following warnings and cautions
must be paid more attention to during the operation of the system.
Note:
1. This system is not intended for home use.
2. The pictures and interfaces in this manual are for reference only.
WARNING
1. The system is intended to be used by trained veterinary surgeons or technicians or
drug researchers. They should be familiar with the contents of this user manual
before operation.
2. Only qualified service engineers can install this equipment, and only service
engineers authorized by the manufacturer can open the shell.
3. The results given by the system should be examined based on the overall clinical
condition of pets, and it can not substitute for regular checking.
4. This system is not intended for treatment.
5. This system is not designed for direct cardiac application.
6. Connecting to other devices may decrease the antistatic gradation of this device
during operation.

WARNING
7. Connecting to other devices may decrease the antistatic gradation of this device
during operation.
8. EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the system in the presence of flammable
anesthetic mixtures with oxygen or other flammable agents.
9. SHOCK HAZARD - The power receptacle must be a hospital grade grounded outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet.
10. Do not use this system in the presence of high static electricity or high voltage
equipment which may generate sparks.
11. In order to avoid being burnt, please keep the electrodes far away from the radio
knife while using electrosurgical equipment.
12. Only the patient cable supplied by the manufacturer can be used. Or else, the
performance and electric shock protection can not be guaranteed.
13. Turn off the system power and remove the power cable before servicing or
maintaining the system.
14. Please do not operate the system during servicing or before it is running normally.
15. Make sure that all electrodes are connected to the pet correctly before operation.
16. Ensure that the conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors, including
neutral electrodes, do not come in contact with earth or any other conducting
objects.
17. Electrodes with defibrillator protection should be used while defibrillating.
18. The disposable electrodes can only be used for one time.
19. Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used; otherwise it may cause a high
polarization voltage.
20. Do not touch the pet, bed, table or the system simultaneously while using the system
together with a defibrillator.
21. If reusable electrodes with electrode gel are used during defibrillation, the ECG
recovery will take more than 10 seconds. The manufacturer recommends the use of
disposable electrodes at all times.
22. Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all
configurations shall comply with the valid version of the standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
Therefore anybody, who connects additional equipment to the signal input or output
connector to configure a medical system, must make sure that it complies with the

VE-1010 Veterinary PC ECG User Manual Safety Guidance
- 3 -
WARNING
requirements of the valid version of the system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in
doubt, consult our technical service department or your local distributor.
23. The summation of leakage current should never exceed leakage current limits while
several other units are used at the same time.
24. The equipment is protected against malfunctions caused by electro-surgery
according to the clause 36.202.101 in the standard IEC60601-2-25.

2. Visually examine the package prior to unpacking. If any signs of mishandling or
damage are detected, contact the carrier to claim for damage.
3. Avoid liquid splash and excessive temperature. The temperature must be kept
between 5 ºC and 40 ºC during operation.
4. Do not use the system in a dusty environment with bad ventilation or in the presence
of corrosive.
5. Make sure that there is no intense electromagnetic interference source around the
system, such as radio transmitters, mobile phones etc. Attention: large medical
electrical equipment such as electrosurgical equipment, radiological equipment and
magnetic resonance imaging equipment is likely to bring electromagnetic
interference.
6. Before use, the system, the patient cable, electrodes etc, should be checked.
Replacement should be taken if there is any evident defectiveness or aging
symptom which may impair the safety or the performance.
7. The following safety checks should be performed at least every 24 months by a
qualified person who has adequate training, knowledge, and practical experience to
perform these tests.
a) Inspect the equipment and accessories for mechanical and functional damage.
b) Inspect the safety related labels for legibility.
c) Inspect the fuse to verify compliance with the rated current and circuit-breaking
characteristics.
