Warnings

USER SAFETY INFORMATION
10. The movable touchscreen display can pinch fingers when closing. Use caution when closing and opening the
display.
11. Conductive parts of the acquisition module(s), electrodes, and associated connections of type CF applied parts,
including the neutral conductor of the acquisition module(s) and electrodes, should not come into contact with
other conductive parts including earth ground.
12. ECG electrodes could cause skin irritation; patients should be examined for signs of irritation or inflammation.
13. To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during patient defibrillation, do not come into contact with the
device or acquisition module(s). Additionally, proper placement of defibrillator paddles in relation to the
electrodes is required to minimize harm to the patient.
14. This device does not automatically switch between direct or wireless acquisition modules. Clinician must
choose the type of acquisition module before ECG acquisition. If your device is equipped with a receiver for a
wireless acquisition module, always make sure that you are receiving data from the expected module.
15. This device was designed to use the electrodes specified in this manual. Proper clinical procedure must be
employed to prep the electrode sites and to monitor the patient for excessive skin irritation, inflammation, or
other adverse reactions. Electrodes are intended for short-term use and should be removed from the patient
promptly following testing.
16. To avoid potential for spread of disease or infection, single-use disposable components (e.g., electrodes) must
not be reused. To maintain safety and effectiveness, electrodes must not be used beyond their expiration date.
17. A possible explosion hazard exists. Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
18. Where the integrity of external protective earth conductor arrangement is in doubt, the device shall be operated
from its internal electrical power source.
19. Medical devices have been designed to have a higher degree of protection against electric shock than, for
instance, information technology equipment because patients often are connected to multiple devices and also
may be more prone to the adverse effect of electric currents than healthy persons. All equipment that is
connected to the patient, can be touched bythe patient, or can be touched by another person while that person
touches the patient at the same time, should have the same level of protection against electric shock as medical
equipment. The ELI 380 is a medical device that has been designed to be connected to other devices for the
purpose of receiving and transmitting data. Certain measures must be taken to prevent the risk of excessive
electric current flow through the operator or patient when connected:
 All electrical equipment that is not medical electrical equipment must be placed outside of the “patient
environment,” defined by applicable safety standards to be at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the patient.
Alternatively, non-medical equipment may be provided with additional protection such as an additional
protective earth connection.
 All medical electrical equipment that has a physical connection to the ELI 380 or the patient, or is in the
patient environment must comply with applicable safety standards for medical electrical devices.
 All electrical equipment that is not medical electrical equipment and has a physical connection to the
ELI 380 must comply with applicable safety standards, such as IEC 60950 for information technology
equipment. This includes information network equipment connected through the LAN connector.
 Conductive (metal) parts that can be touched by the operator in normal use and that are connected to non-
medical equipment should not be brought into the patient environment. Examples are connectors for
shielded Ethernet or USB cables.
2

USER SAFETY INFORMATION
 If multiple devices are connected to each other or to the patient, device chassis and patient leakage currents
may be increased, and should be measured for compliance with applicable standards for medical electrical
systems.
 Avoid the use of portable multiple socket outlets. If used and not compliant with medical electrical
device standards, an additional protective earth connection is required.
 To prevent electric shock due to unequal ground potentials that may exist between points of a distributed
network system or fault conditions in external network connected equipment, network cable shielding
(where used) must be connected to protective earth ground appropriate to the area where the device is used.
20. The device has not been designed for use with high-frequency (HF) surgical equipment and does not provide a
protective means against hazards to the patient.
21. When the 40 Hz filter is used, the frequency response requirement for diagnostic ECG equipment cannot be
met. The 40 Hz filter significantly reduces high-frequency components of the ECG and pacemaker spike
amplitudes, and is recommended only if high-frequency noise cannot be reduced by proper procedures.
22. Other medical equipment, including but not limited to defibrillators and ultrasound machines, may cause
interference with the ECG signals recorded by the device.
23. For proper operation and the safety of users or patients and bystanders, equipment and accessories must be
connected only as described in this manual. Do not connect a telephone line cable to the LAN connector.
24. Unauthorized connection to IT networks could result in previously unidentified risks to patients, operators, or
third parties. The manufacturer is not liable for these additional risks, as the identification, analysis, evaluation,
and control should be conducted by the responsible organization. Changes to the IT network could also
introduce new risks that require additional analysis. This includes changes in network configuration, connection
of additional items, disconnection of items, update of equipment, and upgrade of equipment.
25. Some Mortara electrocardiographs can be equipped with a wireless LAN (WLAN) module for transmitting
ECG records. Device labeling will indicate if your device is equipped with such a module. If so equipped, the
following notices apply:
 The WLAN identification can be found on a label on the bottom of the device.
 Quatech, Inc. Model WLNN-AN-MR551
(model subject to change without notice)
26. Use of the WLAN module may interfere with other equipment operating in the vicinity. Check with local
authorities or spectrum management officials in your facility to determine if restrictions apply to the use of this
feature in your area.
27. To ensure compliance with current regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to
radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the device and the
head and body of the user and any nearby persons at all times.
28. The WLAN module complies with applicable RF safety standards including standards and recommendations for
the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy that have been established by governmental
bodies and other qualified organizations, such as the following:
 Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
 Directives of the European Community
 Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy 3

USER SAFETY INFORMATION
Notes
1. Patient movement may generate excessive noise that may affect the quality of the ECG traces and the proper
analysis performed by the device.
2. Proper patient preparation is important to proper application of ECG electrodes and operation of the device.
3. The algorithm detecting electrode reversal is based on normal physiology and ECG lead order, and tries to
identify the most likely switch; however, it is advisable to check the other electrode positions in the same group
(limb or chest).
4. There is no known safety hazard if other equipment, such as pacemakers or other stimulators, is used
simultaneously with the device; however, disturbance to the signal may occur.
5. The WAM LEDs will automatically start flashing if the batteries have been discharged below 1.0 volts.
6. During normal WAM/AMxx operation, the green LED will display continuously.
7. If the WAM battery cover is opened during transmission, the device will stop transmitting. The battery must be
reinserted and the cover must be applied to resume operation.
8. The WAM will automatically turn off (LEDs off) if the battery has been severely discharged.
9. The WAM will automatically turn off when the electrocardiograph is powered down.
10. The WAM will automatically turn off after being disconnected from the patient. This will happen regardless of
ELI 380 battery/AC power state.
11. The display of absent waveform while using the WAM wireless acquisition module could be due to the WAM
being turned off or having no battery, or the WAM being out of range or experiencing a calibration error.
Review the LED indicator on the WAM to ensure the unit is turned on and has proper battery level. Ensure the
WAM is paired correctly and is within recommended proximity of the electrocardiograph, and/or power cycle
the WAM to re-calibrate.
12. The display of absent waveform display while using the AMxx acquisition module could be due to an improper
auto-calibration. Reconnect the AMxx or power cycle the electrocardiograph.
13. Square waves on the display and rhythm printout could be due to the WAM or the AMxx lead wires not being
connected to the patient.
14. As defined by IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-25, the device is classified as follows:

Wireless Data Transmission
21. ELI 380 electrocardiographs are equipped with a wireless data transmission module (WLAN). This technology
uses radios to transmit data to a Mortara receiving application. Due to the nature of radio transmissions, it’s
possible that, due to the characteristics of the environment where the device is located, some other RF sources
may interfere with the transmission generated bythe device. Mortara Instrument has tested the coexistence of
the device with other devices that can interfere such as devices using WLAN, Bluetooth radio, and/or cell
phones. Although the current technology allows a very successful rate of transmission, it’s possible that in
some rare occurrences, the system may not perform at its best resulting in a “failed transmission”. When this
occurs, patient data will not be erased from the device nor stored in the receiving application, ensuring that
partial or corrupted data are not made available to the receiving station. If the failure mode persists the user
should move to a position where the WLAN signals may propagate better to allow successful transmissions.
WLAN
22. Wireless options transmit in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz range. Other nearby wireless devices in the same frequency
range may cause interference. If possible, move or turn off other devices to minimize potential interference.
23. The Wireless LAN module used is compliant with the IEEE 802.11 a, b, g and n standards.
