damage.
NOTICE: Indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
To reduce the risks associated with infection follow all cleaning and disinfecting instructions included in this
•
manual. Establish and follow a cleaning and disinfecting schedule.
• To reduce the risks associated with very strong electromagnetic fields avoid using the stethoscope near
strong radio frequency signals or portable and/or mobile RF devices. If you hear sudden or unexpected sounds,
move away from any radio transmitting antennas.
To reduce the risks associated with sharp edges make sure that the soft sealing eartips are snapped firmly
•
into position as shown in this manual. Use only Littmann replaceable eartips.
• To reduce the risks associated with an incorrect result store and operate this stethoscope only as instructed
in this manual. As there is no acoustic (non-amplified) mode available with this stethoscope, replace the battery
within two hours of the battery life icon beginning to flash in the LCD display. Replace battery with only type AA.
Also, do not immerse the stethoscope in a liquid or subject it to any sterilization processes.
• To reduce the risk associated with an electrical shock do not use the stethoscope on patients without the
stethoscope's diaphragm cover in place.
The Model E3200 Electronic Stethoscope contains a Bluetooth Class 2 wireless data link. This radio
•
frequency data link operates at a frequency of 2.4 GHz using GFSK modulation and with a maximum transmit
power of 2.5 mW (0.00250 watts). The maximum radio frequency field strength generated by the stethoscope
is below three volts per meter, a level that is considered safe to use with other medical devices. However, if
electromagnetic interference is encountered due to the Bluetooth wireless data link, immediately move the
stethoscope away from that device and/or turn the Bluetooth feature OFF.
To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination follow applicable regulations when
•
disposing of this stethoscope. Properly dispose of, or recycle, spent batteries.
• No modification of this equipment is allowed. Use only authorized 3M service personnel to repair this
stethoscope. Read, understand, and follow all the safety information on the battery package.
