ELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281)
I
NTRODUCTION
Sources of Interference
Some potential sources of interference are included in the list that
follows:
• Monitoring patients in elevators during transport to other units,
or outside of the primary unit.
Poor transmission of signals may occur. Use a monitor with a
display if elevator transport is required.
• Monitoring patients off the ward (radiology areas, for example)
may result in poor reception due to antenna placement and wall
construction.
If monitoring is necessary, the augmentation of the antenna
system may be required.
• Defibrillation of a patient who is wearing the product.
• Implanted or external pacemakers associated with a patient who
is wearing the product.
Potential Sources of Damage
• The product accidentally drops onto hard surfaces, such as
flooring or walls, or into sinks or toilets.
• Exposure to disinfectant and various types of cleaner.
Refer to Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilization on page 5-1 for
more detailed information.
Accessories
For optimum performance, only use the device with recommended
accessories. Refer to the data sheet AriaTele Transmitter (96281) for
transmitter accessories and to the Spacelabs Healthcare Supplies
and Accessories Catalog for a list of suitable electrodes and supplies
from Spacelabs Healthcare.
Repairs
Transmitters that are damaged and need repair should be sent to an
authorized Spacelabs Healthcare repair depot for repair, recovery,
or recycling. Check with your Spacelabs Healthcare representative
for locations.
