lead to incorrect results.
Do not use your screener if there is any suspicion that it is not functioning properly, or if
any parts appear damaged. Contact Natus Technical Service or your authorized service
representative.
Warning! Please avoid practices that can compromise the safe and effective use
of the ALGO 5:
• Do not remove the Panel PC computer from the ALGO 5 unless your service
representative specifically instructs you to do so. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside aside from replacement of the RTC Battery. Installation, modification, or
replacement of any circuit cards, or alteration of the CMOS configuration memory
outside of Natus instructions, may compromise the safe and effective operation of
this device and will void the warranty.
• There is no user access to the computer operating system. Never attempt to load
software into the ALGO 5 that has not been supplied or approved by Natus Medical.
Attempting to load any software or to attach computer accessories or other medical
devices that have not been provided or approved by Natus Medical is expressly
prohibited and will void the warranty.
•
Misuse of the earphones or the earphone cable (that is, any use other than that
described in this manual) may result in screening at unknown and uncontrolled
decibel levels.
Warning! The ALGO 5 is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable
Anaesthetic Mixtures with Air, Oxygen, or Nitrous Oxide.
Warning! The ALGO 5 is an electrically isolated system only when the unit is
plugged in through the Isolation Transformer built into the cart and not connected
to any other external system. If the device is to be connected to a hospital
network, the optional LAN Isolator (P/N 040948) must be used between the Panel
PC and the hospital network to maintain electrical isolation of the device.
