Philips authorized technical personnel are responsible for the setup, configuration

representatives of the external device manufacturer.
Philips Medical Systems is not responsible for any problems arising from inaccurate
or erroneous data displayed on the Philips patient monitor that is received from
external devices furnished by manufacturers other than Philips Medical Systems.
Philips Medical Systems makes every effort to ensure that signal names are
maintained between the Philips patient monitor and any interfaced external devices.
However, signal names within the Philips patient monitor also need to remain
consistent. This means that in some cases the wave and numeric labels used on the
Philips monitor may be different from those used on the interfaced external device.
Philips Medical Systems will not be held responsible for any errors in the
configuration of the VueLink module for connection to free-analog devices.
If manufacturers other than Philips Medical Systems make changes to any VueLink

discontinue interfacing to any device.
