6.2 Warning notes
Natus Medical ICS products are not designed to be used in conjunction with any devices not approved by Natus Medical.
Summation of combined unapproved parts could result in increased electrical leakage. All parts of the ICS. AirCal
Device are suitable for use within the patient environment.
1. For the sake of safety, and in order not to void the warranty, the ICS AirCal should only be serviced by authorized ser-
vice personnel. In case of defects, please make a detailed description of the defect(s) and contact your supplier.
Do not use a defective instrument.
2. Keep the unit away from liquids. Do not allow moisture inside the unit. Moisture inside the unit can damage the
instrument and it may result in a risk of electrical shock to the user or patient.
3. Do not use the instrument in the presence of flammable agents (gases) or in an oxygen-rich environment.
4. No parts may be eaten, burnt, or in any way used for purposes other than the applications defined in the Intended Use
section of this manual.
5. The equipment can be disposed of as normal electronic waste according to local regulations.
6. For safety reasons, accessories connected to the equipment's outlet fittings must be identical to the type supplied
with the system.
7. Never place the delivery head speculum into a patient's ear without first attaching the outer disposable speculum.
The speculum should be carefully placed into the patient's ear. Avoid excessive force or deep insertion as it could res-
ult in injury.
8. The ICS AirCal is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated disturbances are controlled.
The customer or user of the ICS AirCal can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum dis-
tance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment.
9. Immediately discontinue use of the equipment if skin irritation or discomfort occurs.
10. Only distilled water should be used when filling or refilling the water reservoir. Using common water from the tap will
result in mineral deposits and will harm the ICS AirCal.
11. The default settings are recommended in order to deliver a stimulus that will produce a response comparable to
water irrigation. Prolonged duration beyond 60 seconds or alternative temperature settings may result in patient dis-
comfort.
