WARNING
Always use a Baaske MI 1005 isolation device when connecting from the Ethernet
socket to any mains-powered communications device (e.g. router, access point, hub,
communications terminal etc.).
WARNING
The Ethernet connection
must only be connected to battery powered (non
-
mains
-
powered) communications devices such as laptop computers or satellite
communications terminals such as BGAN or VSAT terminals. Any connections made
to the Ethernet port must be to medical or IT peripherals or communications systems
which comply with the applicable IEC safety standard (i.e. IEC60601-1 or IEC60950).
Any connection arrangements must be made in a manner compliant with IEC60601-
1:2005 or IEC60601-1-1:2001. Users must ensure that they maintain the
communications device 1.5 m away from the patient and also must ensure the user
does not touch the communications device while touching the patient. If such
devices require mains power then the device must be powered using a power supply
compliant with the electrical isolation requirements IEC60601-1.
WARNING
The audio connector must only be connected to unpowered microphone headsets or
battery powered microphone headsets (such as Peltor® or Bose®). Further details
can be obtained from RDT upon request.
WARNING
Do not touch the patient at the same time as touching the body or contacts of any of
the medical or communications or power connectors.
CAUTION
Do not use USB hubs (powered or unpowered) with the Tempus. This could cause the USB
sockets to cease operating.
CAUTION
Consideration needs to be made to the potential for leakage currents to be created if the
Tempus or its connectors are made wet or dusty. In the event that any or their respective
sockets become wet or contaminated with sand or dust, they should be cleaned and dried
before use – see “10.2.3 Cleaning connectors”.
Connectors and their immediate surrounding areas should be clean and dry at all times.
Ensure the communications connectors are securely covered with their dust covers (if fitted)
at all times.
