Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Information
Although the Extension Cable is not itself subject to electrostatic discharge
(ESD), it is connected to a component (Sensor) that is subject to ESD
and could be damaged during a discharge. Please read this important
information.
CAUTION: Exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) energy
could damage the Sensor . High levels of ESD could damage the
electronic components and cause the Sensor to be rendered
inaccurate or inoperable . Take all precautions to reduce the
buildup of electrostatic charge during the use of this product .
• Provide patient grounding; e.g., grounding straps on gurneys.
• Avoid the use of materials that could generate ESD during patient
movement and transport; e.g., nylon transfer boards with bedding.
• Before touching the patient, caretakers should discharge ESD buildup by
touching a grounded metal surface, such as a bedrail.
It is recommended that all hospital personnel in contact with these devices
receive an explanation of the ESD symbol and training in ESD precautionary
procedures. Training should include, at a minimum, an introduction to
electrostatic discharge, when and why it occurs, precautionary measure, and
the damage that can be done to electronic components if touched by a user
who is electrostatically charged.
Instructions for Use
Read and follow the instructions packaged with the Monitor and the Sensor
before connecting the Extension Cable.
The Extension Cable can be wiped down before each use (see below). If
required by hospital protocol, the Extension Cable can be autoclaved before
each use, including initial use (see Reprocessing).
The Extension Cable is compatible with the following:
• Combination wipes (Quaternary Ammonium/Isopropyl Alcohol)
• 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
CAUTION: Do not immerse the Extension Cable in any liquid or allow liquid
to enter the connectors . Do not use the Extension Cable if connectors
become wet; erratic results may occur .
To attach the Sensor to the Extension Cable and then connect the Extension
Cable to the Monitor, follow these steps:
1. Pass the connector of the Sensor out of the sterile field and connect it
to the Extension Cable.
2. Align the Extension Cable connector to the front signal input receptacle
of the Monitor so that the "fin" of the strain relief points forward.
CAUTION: DO NOT twist the connector, as this will damage the pins
and may lead to product malfunction .
3. Firmly push the Extension Cable connector into the receptacle until it
locks into place.
Follow the instructions packaged with the Sensor for zeroing.
