It may cause an explosion or fire. Never operate the equipment where flammable gas or fluid such as anesthetic, oxygen, and hydrogen are used. It may cause an explosion or fire. v
Defibrillation Safety
W ARNING Use only the lead cable specified by Fukuda Denshi when defibrillating. If used by unspecified lead cable, the equipment may be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard. When using the defibrillator, keep away from the electrodes or medicament applied to the patient chest. If this is not possible, remove the electrodes or medicament before using it. If the defibrillator paddles are directly in contact with the electrodes or medicament, an electrical shock may result from the discharged energy. When using the defibrillator, do not touch the patient and the metal part of the equipment or cables. Electric shock may result from the discharged energy.
Precautions about Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
W ARNING Do not operate this equipment in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environments. When conducting MRI test, remove the electrodes and sensors connected to the patient (test subject). The local heating caused by the induced electromotive force may cause burn injury to the patient (subject). For details, refer to the operation manual for the MRI testing device.
Electrosurgery Safety
W ARNING When using electrosurgical instrument, make sure the contact between the patient and the ground plate is secured. If the connection is incomplete, the patient may suffer a burn at the electrode site. When using an electrosurgical instrument, it may misidentify noise from the electrosurgical instrument as a heartbeat or arrhythmia.
vi
Precautions about the Pacemaker
W ARNING Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing the pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. The cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment may possibly send wrong information. If such event occurs, disconnect the cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, or follow the procedures described in the operation manual of the pacemaker. (For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your institution’s professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.) Reference “Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers” FDA alerts health professionals that minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. [Based on a safety bulletin issued by FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health on October 14, 1998]
ECG meter may continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest or arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon the ECG meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. Check this manual for disclosure of the pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this equipment.
Precautions about the LX-7120
W ARNING Do not connect cables not authorized by Fukuda Denshi to any I/O connector. If done so by mistake, the LX-7120 cannot deliver its maximum performance and may be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard. Do not use this equipment with multiple patients simultaneously. This equipment itself has no alarm function. Do not use it if an alarm function is necessary. The alarm function with the receiving monitor, refer to the operation manual of the receiving monitor.
CAUTION Do not pick up and/or swing the LX-7120 pulling/grabbing the cord part. The cable could break or get disconnected from the LX-7120. And it may hit people or damage other equipment around.
vii
Precautions about Waterproof
CAUTION Replace the “Battery Compartment Lid” of the LX-7120 regularly to keep the performance of waterproof. If not regularly replaced, the quality of the lid will deteriorate and cannot keep the waterproof performance. For details about the regular replacement, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative. The lid may be damaged from high impact. If the LX-7120 is dropped or is subjected to a high impact, make sure that the lid is not damaged. Do not use the LX-7120 wet. Always wipe the LX-7120 with a soft cloth and dry it thoroughly before use.
Precautions about ECG
CAUTION When removing electrodes from the patient, remove them carefully and slowly. Do not apply excessive force to remove them. Otherwise, it may damage the skin. There are some cases when the pacemaker pulse cannot be detected depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode lead type (unipolar, bipolar), electrode placement, or lead method which causes the pacemaker pulse amplitude to decrease and disables pacemaker pulse detection. If signals similar to a pacemaker pulse are present, such as electric blanket noise or excessive AC frequency noise, these may be erroneously detected and displayed as a pacemaker pulse. In this case, check the condition of the electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the cause or turn off the pacemaker detection setting on the receiving monitor. This equipment will return to standard operating mode within 10 seconds. The stored data will not be affected. The measurement accuracy will temporarily decrease during defibrillation, but it will not compromise the safety of patient and the equipment.
Precautions about Output Signal
W ARNING Do not use the output signal of the monitor that receives radio wave signal from the LX-7120 as the trigger signal for IABP, MRI echocardiographic, or defibrillator for the following reasons. It may lead to a delay of operating timing due to the delay time of waveform transmission. A trigger signal unrelated to the heart rate may be generated due to the interfusion of spike noise at weak electric field. viii
Precautions about Accessories and Optional Accessories
W ARNING Use only the accessories, such as ECG Lead cable, specified by Fukuda Denshi for the LX-7120. Otherwise, the LX-7120 cannot deliver its maximum performance and may be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard.
CAUTION Do not reuse disposable products. Store the disposable products properly as mentioned in their user manuals.
Precautions about Battery
W ARNING Use new "AA" size (“LR06” size) alkaline cell. Install the battery with the correct polarity. Do not charge the battery. Any attempt to charge the battery may cause it to leak or break. Do not short the (+) and (-) terminals. It may result in exothermic heat and fire. Do not throw the battery into fire. It may explode.
Precautions about Disposing of Equipment, Accessories, or Components
CAUTION When disposing of the equipment, accessories, or components, use an industrial waste distributor. Do not dispose of as ordinary waste. Used disposal items (ECG electrodes, etc.) shall be discarded as medical waste.
Precautions about Disposing of Battery
CAUTION Obey the local municipal rule to dispose the used dry cell battery.
ix
Precautions for Use of Medical Telemeter
W ARNING The LX-7120 transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This radio frequency device is susceptible to interference from outside sources. Interference may prevent the monitoring of patients connected to this equipment. If a problem exists, contact your local service representative. The LX-7120 transmits vital signs to the receiving monitor using radio wave signal. Under unstable radio wave signals, the receiving monitor will not generate any alarms. This situation may miss sudden change in the patient's condition and may cause a serious accident. Under unstable radio wave signals, check the patient status consistently under this situation. To get stable radio wave signals, make sure to have a proper telemetry installation.
CAUTION • For installation, make sure the following. • The medical institution (hereinafter referred to as the “Institution”) must
decide the telemetry installation plan for the medical department in order to prevent interference and interference between transmitters (telemetry based on destination country’s radio law). When telemetry has already been installed and been used, radio format, frequency, and antenna power are required to be examined to prevent interference. • When using telemetry, which requires zone location, the Institution is to set up the zones as an operation unit for each transmitter to prevent electronic interference between telemetry throughout the Institution. • When using telemetry, which requires zone location, display and identify each prepared zone in the equipment. • When laying receiver antenna for each transmitter, the Institution has to examine the installation so that electronic interference does not occur. • Based on the above examination result, the Institution should install each receiver antenna as required.
• For management, make sure to follow the precautions below. • The Institution should appoint a person (hereinafter referred to as the
“Overall Manager”) to manage the wireless channels for the whole Institution. And when using telemetry, which requires zone location, the Institution should nominate a person (hereinafter referred to as the “Zone Manager”) to manage the wireless channels in each zone. However, when using such telemetry in a local Institution, one person can perform both functions. The Overall Manager and Zone Manager must be selected from people who understand the characteristics and functionality of telemetry systems, and are skilled in operating telemetry. When installing telemetry, the Overall Manager and the Zone Manager have to understand the precautions for use of telemetry in advance. x
CAUTION The Overall Manager is responsible for maintenance of wireless channel and storage and maintenance of telemeter in the overall medical facilities to give proper instructions to the Zone Manager when using telemetry needing zone alignment, and to the telemetry user when using telemetry not-needing zone alignment. The Overall Manager should create a management log (hereinafter referred to as the “log”), which contains a list of the management status of the wireless channels for the whole Institution. When changing a wireless channel, register it in the log and give proper instructions to the Zone Manager or to the user. The Zone Manager assumes responsibility for managing the wireless channels, storing, and managing telemetry. The Zone Manager assigns the transmitter to the user, and provides enough education for use inside the zone. The telemetry user verifies operation of the transmitter/receiver before use. The telemetry user, if using the telemetry in a zone location, follows the instructions of the Zone Manager for the zone and gives instructions to the patient if required. When interference or breakdown occurs in telemetry communication, the user is required to inform the Zone Manager and the Overall Manager of the problems. The Zone Manager and Overall Manager are to deal with the problem properly and/or contact their nearest Fukuda Denshi representative for service.
