SECTION 1 – WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND INDICATIONS

WARNINGS

• DANGER – EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not use this device in pure
oxygen environments or in the presence of flammable or explosive
anesthetics.
• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
• No modification of this equipment and accessories are allowed.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the
manufacturer.
• If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must
be conducted to ensure continued safe use of the equipment.
• Use of the ES500 adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should
be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is
necessary, the ES500 and the other equipment should be observed to
verify that they are operating normally.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than
30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the ES500, including cables specified
by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
• Use of accessories and cables other than NSL-5, RBW-5U, or MB500 for
the ES500 could result in increased electromagnetic emission or decrease
electromagnetic immunity of the device and result in improper operation.

CAUTIONS

• DO NOT STERILIZE THE INSTRUMENT.
• Do not apply electrodes:
• Over the thoracic area
• On broken skin
• After using an alcohol prep to clean the skin, make sure any
flammable liquid and/or vapors have evaporated and dispersed before
using the instrument.
• Prolonged use of tetanic stimulation may result in skin burns.
• Use of currents greater than necessary for supramaximal
stimulation increases the risk of skin burns. Always increase
stimulus current gradually until supramaximal stimulus level is
achieved.
• Protect this instrument from:
• Becoming wet (i.e., immersion or exposure to spilled or dripping
fluids, wiping with an excessively wet cloth).
• Impact of falling objects.
• Exposure to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
• The instrument should be situated away from devices that generate
strong magnetic fields.
• Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators and warming
lamps, as exposure to high temperatures may affect operation or cause
damage. See Section 2, General Description and Specifications for
temperature recommendations.
