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: If the Radical-7 or Radius-7 stops communicating with Root,
parameters and measurements will not show on the Root; however, this will
not affect Radical-7's or Radius-7's ability to monitor the patient.
CAUTION: In order to establish and maintain Root’s minimum Quality of
Service, the following network specifications should be met before and after
installation:
 Wired Network Connection
During Ping Test, passing result if:
a. At least 98% of packets have latency ≤ 30 milliseconds, and
b. No more than 2 % packets loss.
 Wireless Network Connection
During Ping Test, passing result if:
a. At least 98% of packets have latency ≤ 100 milliseconds,
b. No more than 2 % packets loss, and
c. Primary access point signal strength at least -67 dBm.
CAUTION: The wireless quality of services may be influenced by the
presence of other devices that may create radio frequency interference (RFI).
Some RFI devices to consider are as follows: electrocautery equipment,
cellular telephones, wireless PC and tablets, pagers, RFID, MRI, electrically
powered wheelchair, etc. When used in the presence of potential RFI
devices, consideration should be taken to maximize separation distances
