Never immerse any part of the device, cables, or leadwires in
liquids or allow liquid to enter the interior of the device.
Do not autoclave any part of the system with steam (including
cables or leadwires) or sterilize with ethylene oxide.
Never use conductive solutions, oxidizing compounds, wax, or
wax compounds to clean devices, cables or leadwires.
SHOCK HAZARD. In order to remove power from the telemetry
server, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. The
on/off button on the front panel does not disconnect the
telemetry server from AC power.
Additionally, wait for 30 seconds as the telemetry server
remains energized after disconnecting AC power.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in electrical
shock.
LOSS OF MONITORING. If it is necessary to shut down the
telemetry server or receiver subsystem, notify the site's
biomedical department to provide alternate bedside patient
monitoring.
Do not pour or spray any liquid directly on the device or permit
fluid to seep into the connectors or openings of the telemetry
server. An electrical shock hazard exists and/or damage may
result if water is allowed to get inside the telemetry server.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in equipment
damage and/or electrical shock.
