Patient and Operational Safety Notes

The HP CodeMaster 100 with the 12-Lead option isolates all connections to the
patient from electrical ground. This reduces the possibility of hazardous currents
passing from the device through the patient's heart to ground. To ensure the
patient's safety and your own, observe the following reminders:
The HP patient cable supplied with this device, or an HP approved
WARNING
substitute patient cable, is an integral part of the defibrillator/monitor
safety features. Using any other patient cable may compromise
defibrillation protection as well as performance.
Only qualified personnel may service the device.
Do not use the HP CodeMaster 100 with 12-Lead near flammable
WARNING
anesthetics. It is not intended for use in explosive environments.
Do not use the HP CodeMaster 100 with 12-Lead in the presence of
electrosurgical or diathermy instruments.
Do not touch the patient or patient cable during defibrillation. Death or
injury may occur from the electrical shock delivered by the defibrillator.
Be sure that the electrodes or connectors do not come in contact with any
other conductive materials, including earth-grounded materials, especially
when connecting or disconnecting electrodes to/from a patient.
The use of multiple instruments connected to the same patient may pose a
safety hazard due to the summation of leakage currents from each
instrument. Any combination of instruments should be evaluated by local
safety personnel before being put into service.
Do not pull on the paper while a report is being printed. This can cause
distortion of the waveform and can lead to potential misdiagnosis.
