POWER REQUIREMENTS
The DRC requires one power outlet. The DRC must be used with the AC power supply adapter supplied
with the DRC. Using the Y-Splitter cable, the DRC power supply can be used to supply power to the
i-STAT Printer (Model Number PR-300), which reduces the number of power outlets required in the
downloading and printing area.
CAUTIONS
•
The DRC is not intended for use in the patient environment (within 1.5 meters of the physical
location of the patient).
•
Users should not connect the DRC to a medical electrical system.
•
Do not place metal objects on or near the exposed gold charging contacts.
•
Be sure to install all cables and power supplies so they do not post a trip hazard. Mount equip-
ment so cables and accessories stay clear of walkways. The AC power supply adapter plug
acts as a disconnect device for the DRC, and therefore, the socket outlet must be installed (or
located) near the DRC and must be easily accessible.
•
Use only the AC power supply provided with the DRC-300 to power the DRC-300.
•
Only APOC provided printers may be connected to the DRC printer port.
•
If using a Martel Printer, use the power supply that came with the Martel Printer and not the
Y-Splitter cable provided with the DRC.
•
A network cable and USB cable may NOT be connected to the DRC at the same time.
•
If using rechargeable batteries to power the handheld, use only rechargeable batteries and
recharging equipment supplied by your APOC distributor. Other batteries and rechargers may
affect test results and pose other hazards to operators and patients.
•
A falling handheld may cause injury. Always place the handheld and peripherals on a stable
surface or in a location where it will not cause injury if dropped.
RUNNING CARTRIDGES IN A HANDHELD DOCKED IN THE DRC
All i-STAT Cartridges may be run in handhelds that are docked in the DRC.
DRC AFFECT ON AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE
The operating temperature for an i-STAT 1 handheld is 16ºC to 30ºC. The DRC and Rechargeable
Battery may raise the temperature of the i-STAT 1 handheld 2ºC-3ºC relative to the ambient temperature
if:
•
The handheld is frequently lifted and replaced into the DRC
•
Multiple cartridges are run in the handheld while it is in the DRC.
