Safety Instructions for ECG Monitoring
M Use the same type electrode on a patient. If skin rash or other unusual symptom occurs, remove electrodes
from patient. Do not attach electrodes on the patient with an inflammation of the skin or scores on skin.
% Gima Vital Pro Monitor can only be equipped with ECG leads provided by our company; using ECG leads
supplied by other companies may cause improper performance or poor protection while using defibrillator.
% Electric parts of electrodes, leads and cable are forbidden to contact any other conductive parts (including
ground).
% Gima Vital Pro Monitor can resist against defibrillator and electro-surgical unit. Readings may be inaccurate
for a short time after or during using defibrillator or electro-surgical unit.
% Transient caused by cable circuitry blocks while monitoring may be similar to the real heartbeat waveform, as
a result resistance heart rate alarm rings. If you put the electrodes and cable in proper places according to this
manual's instructions and the instructions for using electrode, the chance of this transient occurring will be
decreased.
M Besides the improper connection with electro-surgical unit may cause burns, the monitor may be damaged or
arouse deviations of measurement. You can take some steps to avoid this situation, such as do NOT use small
