1.1.1 Warnings
WARNING
This equipment is used for single patient at a time.
Before putting the system into operation, the operator must verify that the
equipment, connecting cables and accessories are in correct working order and
operating condition.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with protective earth. If the installation does not provide for a
protective earth conductor, disconnect it from the power line and operate it on
battery power, if possible.
Ensure that the patient monitor is supplied with continuous electric power
during work. Sudden power failure leads to the loss of patient data.
To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the equipment in the presence of oxygen
---rich atmospheres, flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as
gasoline).

1-2

be carried out by the personnel trained and authorized by our company only.
Do not come into contact with patients during defibrillation. Otherwise serious
injury or death could result.
Do not touch the equipment’s metal parts or connectors when in contact with
the patient; otherwise patient injury may result.
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off may result in a hazard to the
patient. Remember that alarm settings should be customized according to
different patient situations and always keeping the patient under close
surveillance is the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
The physiological data and alarm messages displayed on the equipment are for
reference only and cannot be directly used for diagnostic interpretation and
replace the competent judgment of a clinician.
To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a
stumbling hazard. Wrap and secure excess cabling to reduce risk of
entanglement or strangulation by patients or personnel.
When disposing of the packaging material, be sure to observe the applicable
waste control regulations and keep it out of children’s reach.
When no battery is installed, make sure that the power supply is continuous. A
power interruption will result in patient data loss.
Put the equipment in a location where you can easily see the screen, access the
operating controls, and disconnect the equipment from AC power.
The equipment uses a mains plug as isolation means to the mains power supply.
Please do not position the equipment in a place difficult to operate the mains
plug.
The equipment is not intended to be used within the magnetic resonance (MR)
environment.

1.1.2 Cautions
CAUTION
Use only parts and accessories specified in this manual.
Remove the battery before shipping the monitor or if it will not be used for an
extended period of time.
Carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
Disposable accessories are not designed to be reused. Reuse may cause a risk of
contamination and affect the measurement accuracy.
At the end of its service life, the equipment, as well as its accessories, must be
disposed of in compliance with the guidelines regulating the disposal of such
products. If you have any questions concerning disposal of the equipment,
please contact Mindray.
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.
Before connecting the equipment to the power line, check that the voltage and
frequency ratings of the power line are the same as those indicated on the
equipment’s label or in this manual.
Always install or carry the equipment properly to avoid damage caused by
