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 and to observe for any potential signs of interference such as
loss of communication or reduced Wi-Fi signal strength.
Note: The wireless communication status between Root and Patient SafetyNet is
displayed by Patient SafetyNet.
Note:Root is provided with a Wi-Fi signal indicator as an indication of Wi-Fi
communication.
Note: Root’s alarm capabilities have been designed to be independent of the Wi-Fi
communication feature in order to preserve Root’s primary alarms.
Note: Always charge Root when it is not in use to ensure that the battery remains
fully charged.
Cleaning and Service Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard: The Root battery should be installed and/or
removed from Root only by qualified personnel.
WARNING: Do not use petroleum-based or acetone solutions, or other harsh
solvents, to clean the Root. These substances affect the device’s materials and
instrument failure can result.
CAUTION: Do not touch, press, or rub the display panels with abrasive cleaning
compounds, instruments, brushes, rough-surface materials, or bring them into
contact with anything that could scratch the display.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the Root in any cleaning solution or attempt to
sterilize by autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method.
This will seriously damage the device.
CAUTION: Electrical shock and flammability hazard: Before cleaning, always turn
off the device and disconnect from any AC power source.
CAUTION: An operator may only perform maintenance procedures specifically
described in the manual. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel trained in the
repair of this equipment.
CAUTION: Electrical Shock Hazard: Carry out periodic tests to verify that leakage
currents of patient-applied circuits and the system are within acceptable limits as
specified by the applicable safety standards. The summation of leakage currents
must be checked and in compliance with IEC 60601-1 and UL60601-1. The system
leakage current must be checked when connecting external equipment to the system.
When an event such as a component drop of approximately 1 meter or greater or a
spillage of blood or other liquids occurs, retest before further use. Injury to
personnel could occur.
