1 Introduction
The Datex-Ohmeda S/5 FM is a modular multiparameter patient monitor. The monitor is  
especially designed for monitoring in intensive care units. It can also be used during 
transportation within the hospital.
The modular design makes the system flexible and easy to upgrade. In addition to patient 
parameter modularity and easy upgrades, the monitor can be upgraded to wireless 
networking. External devices can be interfac ed to the monitor with interface modules.  
NOTE: Your system may not include all these components. Consult your local representative for 
the available components.

1.2 Safety 
The following list contains general warnings an d cautions you should know before installing, 
maintaining or servicing the system. Warnings and cautions specific to the use of the system 
can be found in the User’s Guide and User’s Reference Manual.
1.2.1 Safety precautions  
Warnings
WARNING A WARNING indicates a situation in whic h the user or the patient may be in 
danger of injury or death.
•The device is not able to withstand unpacked drops from a height of 1 m. If the device is 
dropped, please service the device before taking it back into use.
Power connection
•Always check that the power cord and plug are intact and undamaged.
•Do not use the power cord delivered with this product for any other product or purpose.
•Use only hospital-grade grounded power outlets and power cord. Do not remove the 
grounding pin from the power plug. 
•Use only an intact and undamaged power cord. Replace the power cord if it is cracked, 
frayed, broken or otherwise damaged.
•All system devices must be connected  to the same power supply circuit. 
•Do not apply tension to the power cord otherwise the cord may get damaged.
•Do not use an additional multiple socket outlet , extension cord or adapters of any kind.
•Before starting to use the system, ensure that the whole combination complies with the 
international standard IEC 60601-1-1 and with th e requirements of the local authorities. 
Do not connect any external devices to the system other than those specif ied.
•When detaching modules, be careful not to drop them. Always support with one hand 
while pulling out with the other.
•If the integrity of the external protective earth conductor arrangement is in doubt , use the 
monitor with battery operation.
•To avoid the risk of electric shock, this  equipment must only be connected to a supply 
mains with protective earth.
Installation
•Do not incinerate a battery or store at  high temperatures as it will explode.
•The monitor or its components should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other 
equipment . If adjacent or stacked use is  necessary, the monitor and its components 
should be observed to verify  normal operation in the configuration in which it will be 
used.
•Pins of connectors identified with the ESD  warning symbol should not be touched. 
Connections should not be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary 
procedures are used. For details, see section “ 1.2.2. ESD precautionary procedures.”
•After transferring or reinstalling the monitor, always check that it is properly connected 
and all parts are securely attached. Pay special attention to this in case of stacked 
mounting.

•Do not use the monitor in high electromagnetic fields (for example, during MRI.)
•A printer or computer must be supplied from an additional transformer providing at least 
basic isolation (isolating or separating transformer).
•If you accidentally drop the monitor, modules or frames, have them checked by 
authorized service personnel prior to clinical use.
•To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the mo nitor in presence of flammable anesthetics.
•Do not touch the patient, table, instruments, modules or the monitor during defibrillation. 
•Other transmitting radio devices using the same radio frequency band  (Industrial 
Scientific  and Medical 2.45 GHz band) may degrade or disturb the wireless network 
communication.
External connection
•Do not connect any external devices to the monitor other than those specified.
Explosion hazard
•To avoid explosion hazard do not use th e monitor in the presence of flammable 
anesthetics. 
•Do not incinerate a battery or store at  high temperatures as it will explode.
Patient safety
•Do not perform any testing or maintenance on the monitor while it is being used on a 
patient.
•PACEMAKER PATIENTS: The impedance respiration measurement may cause rate 
changes in Minute Ventilation Rate Respon sive Pacemakers. In this case, set the 
pacemaker rate responsive mode off or  turn the monitor impedance respiration 
measurement off.
•Never install the monitor so that it is above the patient .
•When using the monitor with mounting attached, make sure that the mounting is 
manufacturer approved.
•Operation of the monitor outside the specified values may cause inaccurate results. 
Autoclaving and sterilizing
• Do not autoclave any part of the system wi th steam or sterilize with ethylene oxide.
Cleaning and service  
•Only trained personnel with proper tools and test equipment should perform the tests 
and repairs described in this manual. Unauthorized service may void the monitor 
warranty.
•Always unplug the monitor before cleaning or service. After cleaning or service ensure 
that every part of the monitor is dry before reconnecting it to the power supply. 
•Do not touch any exposed wire or conductive surface while any cover is removed and the 
monitor is energized. The voltages present can cause injury or death.
•Pins of connectors identified with the ESD  warning symbol should not be touched. 
Connections should not be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary 
procedures are used. For details, see section “ 1.2.2. ESD precautionary procedures”.
•NOTE! The monitor is always internally powered when the batteries are connected.

•Electrostatic discharge through the PC bo ards may damage the components. Before 
handling PC boards, wear a grounded antistatic wristband. Handle all PC boards by their 
non-conductive edges and use antistatic containers when transporting them. 
•Do not break or bypass the patient isolation barrier when testing PC boards. 
•Always perform an electrical safety check an d a leakage current test on the monitor after 
service.
•Handle the water trap and its contents as yo u would any body fluid. Infectious hazard 
may be present.
•Do not immerse any part of the device in any liq uid, or allow liquid to enter the monitor or 
modules. 
•If liquid has accidentally entered the system or its parts, disconnect the power cord from 
the power supply, remove the batteries from the monitor and have the equipment 
serviced by authorized service personnel. 
•Since calibration gas contains anesthetic agents, always ensure sufficient ventilation of 
the room during calibration. 
Accessories
•Use only accessories, includin g mounts, and batteries, and def ibrillator-proof cables and 
invasive pressure transducers approved by GE Healthcare. For a list of approved supplies 
and accessories, see the “Supplies and Accessories” catalog. Other cables, batteries, 
transducers and accessories may cause a safety hazard, damage the equipment or the 
system, result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment or system 
or interfere with the  measurement. (Protection against  cardiac defibrillator discharge is 
due in part to the accessories for pulse oxim etry (SpO2), temperature (T) and invasive 
pressure (P) measurement.) 
•Single-use products are not designed to be reused. Reuse may cause a risk of 
cross-contamination, affect the measurement  accuracy and/or system performance, or 
cause a malfunction as a result of the product being physically damaged due to cleaning, 
disinfection, re-sterilization and/or reuse.
Special components
Special components are used in th ese monitors that are vital to assure reliability and safety. GE 
Healthcare assumes no respon sibility for damage, if replacement components not approved 
by GE Healthcare are used.
Batteries
The Lithium Ion batteries are recyclable.  Follow your local recycling guidelines. 
Refresh the batteries completely every six months. 
To replace the batteries safely, please refer to the service instructions in this manual.
•Do not short-circuit th e battery terminals, this may prod uce a very high current, which will 
damage the battery.
•Do not dispose of the battery into open flam e, nor put the battery near fire, as it may 
explode.
•Do not dismantle the battery.
•After replacing a battery, always make sure to close the battery compartment by sliding 
the lid back to the right until it clicks.
