Note—
Philips recommends that the user has a clear understanding of the VS1 monitor, its intended use,
warnings, precautions, and the other information found in this manual before using this device for patient

Checking the Shipment
Examine the carton carefully for evidence of damage in transit. If you discover any damage, contact the
carrier immediately. Retain all packing material.
If you have to return the monitor, contact the Philips Response Center or your local Philips representative
for shipping instructions. The device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to shipping.
To pack the monitor, disconnect all cables. Pack the monitor in its original shipping carton. If this is
unavailable, use a suitable carton with appropriate packing material to protect the monitor during shipping.
Do not return sensors, patient cables, NIBP tubing and cuff, or the power cord.
Note—
Setting Up the Monitor
