About This Manual This manual explains how to set up and use Root®. Important safety information relating to general use of Root appears in this manual. Read and follow any warnings, cautions, and notes presented throughout this manual. The following are explanations of warnings, cautions, and notes.
Ability to display data on a secondary display. For all prescribing information and instructions for use of the compatible medical devices that are connected to Root, see Operator’s Manual or Instructions for Use for the specific medical device. Intended Use The Masimo Root Monitoring System is indicated for use by healthcare professionals for the monitoring of multiple physiological parameters in healthcare environments.
In addition, the Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter and accessories are indicated to provide the continuous noninvasive monitoring data obtained from the Masimo Radical-7 Pulse CO-Oximeter and accessories of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO and pulse rate to multi-parameter devices for the display of those devices.
WARNING: Do not use Root during or nearby magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or in an MRI environment. WARNING: Do not place Root or accessories in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. WARNING: To ensure safety, avoid stacking multiple devices or placing anything on the device during operation.
Note: Do not monitor more than a single patient at a time on Root. Note: It is recommended that Root is attached to an AC power source when it is not in use to ensure that the battery remains fully charged.
Page 15
CAUTION: Do not place the Root on electrical equipment that may affect the device, preventing it from working properly. CAUTION: Failure to charge Root promptly after a Low Battery alarm may result in the device shutting down. CAUTION: To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits radio frequency transmissions should not be in close proximity to Root.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the Root in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously damage the device.
