Masimo patents (www.masimo.com/patents.htm). Possession or purchase of this device does not
convey any express or implied license to use the device with replacement parts which would, alone,
or in combination with this device, fall within the scope of one or more of the patents relating to this
device.
General knowledge of monitoring and an understanding of the features and functions of the V 12/V
21 are prerequisites for its proper use.
Please read and adhere to all of the warnings and precautions listed throughout this manual.
A WARNING is provided to alert the user to potentially serious outcomes (death, injury or serious
adverse events) to the patient or the user.
A CAUTION is provided to alert the user that special care should be taken for the safe and effective
use of the device. They will include actions to be taken to avoid effects on patients or users that will
not be potentially life threatening or result in serious injury, but about which the user should be
aware.
A NOTE is provided when additional general information is available.

Introduction Warnings
xvi V Series Operating Instructions
Warnings
WARNING: Only skilled/trained clinical professionals should operate this
equipment.
WARNING: It is important for the hospital or organization that uses this equipment
to perform a reasonable service/maintenance plan. Neglect of this may
result in machine breakdown or personal injury.
WARNING: Possible explosion hazard. Do not operate machine near flammable
anesthetic agents or other flammable substances. Do not use
flammable anesthetic agents (i.e., ether or cyclopropane.)
WARNING: If liquid is accidentally spilled on equipment, battery, or accessories, or
they have been immersed in liquid, contact service personnel. Do not
operate the equipment before it has been tested and approved for
further use.
WARNING: Do not disassemble, crush, heat above 100°C (212°F), or incinerate
batteries or else fire, exposion or severe burn hazard could occur.
Replace only with the Mindray P/N 0146-00-0091-01. See operator’s
manual for safety instructions. Battery is not fully charged upon
delivery. Please charge battery before initial use.
WARNING: The Lithium-ion batteries have a service life of 3 years. Please replace
your battery when it reaches the end of its service life. Failure to replace
the battery may cause serious damage to your device from battery
overheating.
WARNING: Keep batteries out of children's reach.
WARNING: Do not connect other equipment to the same MPSO (Multiple Portable
Socket Outlets i.e. Multiple outlet extension cords) with the V 12/V 21,
as it may increase system leakage current. Only use the MPSO to supply
power to the equipment.
WARNING: Devices connected to the equipment must meet the requirements of
the applicable IEC standards (e.g. IEC 60950 safety standards for
information technology equipment and IEC 60601-1 safety standards
for medical electrical equipment). The system configuration must meet
the requirements of the IEC 60601-1 medical electrical systems
standard. Any personnel who connect devices to the equipment’s
signal input/output port is responsible for providing evidence that the
safety certification of the devices has been performed in accordance to
the IEC 60601-1. If you have any questions, please contact Mindray.
WARNING: Use of the V 12/V 21 in the vicinity of explosive anesthetics and in the
presence of electromagnetic interference or power overloads caused
by electrosurgical or diathermy instruments could create a potential
hazard or could damage the monitor.
WARNING: This device is NOT suitable for use in a magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) environment.
WARNING: Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper
performance of the equipment. For this reason make sure that all
external devices operated in the vicinity of the equipment comply with
the relevant EMC requirements. Mobile phone, X-ray equipment or MRI
devices are a possible source of interference as they may emit higher
levels of electromagnetic radiation.
WARNING: This device is not intended for direct cardiac application.

V Series Operating Instructions xvii
Warnings Introduction
WARNING: Use of the V 12/V 21 is restricted to one patient at a time.
WARNING: Electrode polarization: some electrodes may be subject to large offset
potentials due to polarization. Use only electrodes as recommended by
Mindray. Recovery time after application of defibrillator pulses may be
especially compromised. Squeeze bulb electrodes commonly used for
diagnostic ECG recording may be particularly vulnerable to this effect.
Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used unless the amplifier
can handle polarization potentials as high as 1 volt (V).
WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING: Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future
upgrades must be carried out by the personnel trained and authorized
by Mindray only.
WARNING: Do not touch the patient and live parts simultaneously. Live parts
include, but are not limited to device connectors, recorder print head,
and battery connector. Otherwise, you will be subject to electric shock.
WARNING: To reduce the hazard of burns in the high-frequency surgical neutral
electrode connection, the electrodes should not be located between
the surgical site and the electro-surgical unit return electrode.
WARNING: Be sure to select the correct patient category setting for your patient
before measurement. Applying the adult settings to a pediatric or
neonatal patient may present a safety hazard.
WARNING: Patients with fragile skin, dermal allergies, or a history of skin reactions
to adhesive tapes may show a dermatitis type reaction to ECG
electrodes and SpO2sensors.
WARNING: Reliably attach Potential Equalization connector to the safety ground
when interconnecting V 12/V 21 with other medical or non-medical
electrical equipment to minimize the risk of excessive leakage current
and/or shock hazard.
WARNING: This unit uses a common isolation path for the ECG leads and the
Invasive Pressure Channels. Ensure that conductive parts of the ECG
electrodes do not contact other conductive parts including earth
ground. Do not connect any non-isolated accessories to the unit or to
the ECG or invasive pressure channel inputs when connected to a
patient. Insure that the total chassis leakage currents of all connected
units does not exceed 100μA in normal conditions and does not exceed
300μA in a single fault condition. Use an IEC 60601-1 approved
isolation / separation transformer if required. Do not operate the
equipment with any cover removed. Do not simultaneously touch the
patient and any piece of electrical equipment if any cover has been
removed from the equipment.
WARNING: When using the 12 lead ECG device cable, the device is not protected
against Electro Surgical Unit (ESU) interference.
WARNING: While monitoring the heart rate (HR), all arrhythmia detection is
disabled when an ESU event is detected.
WARNING: The ST algorithm has been tested for accuracy of the ST segment data.
The significance of the ST segment changes need to be determined by a
clinician.
