These instructions contain important information for the safe use of the
pro uct. Rea the entire contents of these Instructions For Use, inclu ing
Warnings an Cautions, before using the monitor. Failure to properly follow
warnings, cautions an instructions coul result in eath or serious injury to
the patient.
1.2 Using the Manual
The monitor allows you to choose the measurement capabilities you need. A
measured value refers to a derived or calculated value; a parameter refers to
one or more specific measured values. For example, pulse rate and %SpO
2
are
measurements; the oximeter parameter consists of both these measured
values. Operation of the monitor is the same regardless of the number of
parameters you use.
If you are not familiar with the operation of this monitor, follow each chapter
in the manual in order. Each chapter builds on the information from the
previous chapter. If the monitor is already set up, or if you are familiar with its
operation, turn to the chapter that describes the features you will use.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1-6 Veterinary Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
prevent air circulation insi e the monitor, possibly resulting in
amage to the monitor. Leave an air gap behin the monitor to
allow air to circulate through the ventilation holes.
CAUTION! Chemicals use in some cleaning agents may cause brittleness
of plastic parts. Follow cleaning instructions in this manual.
CAUTION! If the evice becomes wet, wipe off all moisture an allow
sufficient time for rying before operating.
CAUTION! Follow local governing or inances an recycling instructions
regar ing isposal an recycling of evice components an

NOTE! Each input an output connection of the monitor is electrically
isolate . Connection of this monitor to other equipment will not
increase leakage current.
ECG Warnings, Cautions, an Notes
WARNING! Connect only three-lea or five-lea ECG lea wires from the
patient to the ECG patient cable. Do not connect any other
signal source to the ECG patient cable.
WARNING! This monitor oes not i entify or interpret arrhythmia events.
The in ication of heart rate may be a versely affecte by the
presence of car iac arrhythmias.
WARNING! Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual car iac
waveforms an thus inhibit heart rate alarms.
CAUTION! Only five-lea ECG cable can be use to this monitor. Using the
incorrect cable for the selecte mo e might lea to a floating
reference or a itional noise on the ECG signal.
NOTE! Follow institutional stan ar s when applying ECG electro es.
Silver/Silver Chlori e isposable electro es are strongly
recommen e to avoi polarization effects that result in large
input offset potentials. Use of "squeeze bulb" type electro es is
not recommen e .

Chapter 1 Introduction
Veterinary Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual 1-7
NOTE! Use only stan ar five-lea ECG cable.
Oximetry Warnings, Cautions, an Notes
WARNING! Prolonge use or the patient's con ition may require changing
the sensor site perio ically. Change the sensor site an check
skin integrity, circulatory status, an correct alignment at least
every 4 hours.
WARNING! When attaching sensors with micro foam tape, o not stretch
the tape or attach the tape too tightly. Tape applie too tightly
may cause inaccurate rea ings an blisters on the patient's
skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes the blisters).
WARNING! Using a amage sensor may cause inaccurate rea ings,
possibly resulting in patient injury or eath. Inspect each
sensor. If a sensor appears amage , o not use it. Use another
sensor or contact your authorize repair center for help.
WARNING! Using a amage patient cable may cause inaccurate rea ings,
possibly resulting in patient injury or eath. Inspect the patient
cable. If the patient cable appears amage , o not use it.
Contact your authorize repair center for help.
WARNING! Failure to carefully route the cable from the sensor to the
monitor may allow the patient to become entangle in the
cable, possibly resulting in patient strangulation. Route the
cable in a way that will prevent the patient from becoming
entangle in the cable. If necessary, use tape to secure the
cable.
WARNING! If any of the integrity checks fail, o not attempt to monitor
the patient. Use another sensor or patient cable, or contact the
equipment ealer for help if necessary.
WARNING! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxi e sterilize, or immerse the
sensors in liqui . Evi ence that liqui has been allowe to
enter the monitor voi s the warranty.
WARNING! Use only SpO
2
sensors supplie with, or specifically inten e
for use with, this evice.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1-8 Veterinary Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
WARNING! SpO
2
measurements may be a versely affecte in the presence
of high ambient light. Shiel the sensor area (with a surgical
towel, for example) if necessary.
WARNING! Dyes intro uce into the bloo stream, such as methylene blue,
in ocyanine green, in igo carmine, patent blue V (PBV), an
fluorescein may a versely affect the accuracy of the SpO
2
rea ing.
WARNING! Any con ition that restricts bloo flow, such as use of a bloo
pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may
cause an inability to etermine accurate SpO
2
an pulse rate
rea ings.
WARNING! Un er certain clinical con itions, pulse oximeters may isplay
ashes if unable to isplay SpO
2
an /or pulse rate values.
Un er these con itions, pulse oximeters may also isplay
erroneous values. These con itions inclu e, but are not limite
to: patient motion, low perfusion, car iac arrhythmias, high or
low pulse rates or a combination of the above con itions.
Failure of the clinician to recognize the effects of these
con itions on pulse oximeter rea ings may result in patient
injury.
CAUTION! Unplug the sensor from the monitor before cleaning or
isinfecting.
NOTE! Obstructions or irt on the sensor's re light or etector may cause
a sensor failure. Make sure there are no obstructions an the
sensor is clean.
Non-invasive Bloo Pressure Warnings, Cautions, an Notes
WARNING! Bloo pressure measurements may be inaccurate if cuffs
an /or hoses other than those specifie by Utech Co., Lt . are
use .
WARNING! Repeate use of STAT mo e for perio s longer than 15 minutes
shoul be avoi e to re uce the patient's risk for soft tissue or
nerve amage. When using the monitor for long perio s of
time, select the longest clinically appropriate measurement
