WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard: Injury to personnel could occur. Do not plug
in or remove the power cord with wet hands. Ensure that your hands are clean and
dry before touching the power cord.
WARNING: When positioned on a flat surface, the device should be secured with a
mounting system recommended by Masimo.
WARNING: To ensure safety, avoid stacking multiple devices or placing anything
on the device during operation.
WARNING: Do not place the Root or accessories in any position that might cause
it to fall on the patient.
WARNING: As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to
reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
CAUTION: Do not place the Root where the controls can be changed by the
patient.
CAUTION: To ensure patient isolation, connect only Masimo devices that have
been designed for Root.
CAUTION: Equipment intended to be connected to signal input/signal output ports
should comply with applicable electrical safety standards to further minimize the
risk of electric shock. Only devices that have been configured to operate with Root
may function properly when connected.
CAUTION: Only use the AC power cable provided by Masimo. Using a different
AC power cable could cause damage to Root. Check the power cord and plug to
ensure that it is intact and undamaged.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of electrical shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with a protective earth connection. Do not under any
circumstances remove the grounding conductor from the power plug.
CAUTION: Use a grounded outlet for proper equipment grounding. A hospital-
grade outlet is required.
CAUTION: Do not place Root where the appliance inlet or the AC power plug
cannot be readily disconnected.
Note: Disconnect the device from AC mains by removing the AC power cord
connector from the device inlet.
Note: If there is any doubt about the integrity of the protective earth conductor
arrangement, operate the Root on internal battery power until the AC power supply
protective conductor is fully functional.
Note: Do not monitor more than a single patient at a time on Root.
