Chapter 2 – General Instructions for Using the Patient Monitor

Determine the Power Source

The Prism and Prism SE can be powered in one of three ways: AC, battery, and external DC
power.
An optional auxiliary DC connector (center pin positive) labeled EXT DC 12-28V, 30VA is
located on rear panel of monitor to allow external DC power source when AC is not available.
NOTE:
opportunity to allow batteries (optional) to charge.
Prism batteries remain at their current power level during external
DC operation, but will not charge until plugged into AC power. Prism
SE batteries charge during DC operation.
To avoid corrosion, remove batteries if the monitor is disconnected
from AC power for an extended period of time.

Prism's Modular Batteries

The Prism utilizes up to two (2) rechargeable sealed lead-acid batteries.
NOTE: Never discharge batteries completely. To insure long battery
life, always recharge batteries immediately after use. An optional
battery charger (MDE Part Number E2700-12) is recommended.
Batteries should be replaced every two (2) years regardless of test
results. Used batteries should be recycled or disposed of properly.
To install or remove a modular battery:
1. Turn the battery latch on rear of Prism monitor to allow installation or removal of battery.
2. Gently slide battery in/out from battery slot (if installing, latch battery after installing).

Prism SE's Battery

The Prism SE utilizes one (1) rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery (up to two batteries for earlier
units). Battery or batteries can only be changed or removed by qualified technical service
personnel.

Prism's Multiparameter Module

Vital sign parameters for your Prism monitor are factory configured in a Multiparameter Module
(MPM). The MPM is removable, allowing you to move it from one monitor to another.
NOTE: Not all parameters and options are available for CE marked
monitors. Consult your sales representative for more information.
