Precauons and Limitaons

For best results, observe the following precauons when using the i‑STAT Alinity printer.

DO:

• use only a rechargeable baery pack purchased from Abbo Point of Care.

• use only the power adapter and supply provided with the i‑STAT Alinity printer kit.

• use an i‑STAT Alinity printer when aempng to print from an i‑STAT Alinity instrument.

• check with authories for local, state, and/or naonal requirements for disposal.

DO NOT:

• operate the printer without paper.

• pull paper through the paper mechanism. Damage to the printer can result. Use the paper feed

buon.

• allow the power supply to become a trip hazard.

• place the printer in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere.

• disturb the instrument or the printer unl prinng is complete, since this will interrupt the printout. If

prinng is interrupted, realign the instrument and the printer, or replace the instrument in the Base

Staon to resume prinng.

• place printers side by side. Doing so may cause instrument to printer communicaon problems.

NOTE:

• The instrument and its peripherals are not listed by any authority with respect to suitability for use in

oxygen-enriched atmospheres.

• In the event of a baery leaking, do not allow any leakage to come into contact with the skin or eyes.

If contact has been made, wash the aected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical

advice.

• If a printout appears inconsistent with a paent's clinical assessment, verify that the correct paent

record was selected (paent ID, date and me of test, etc.). If the record is not correct, select the

correct record and print. If the printout sll does not match the data in the instrument, the printer

needs service and the printed results must not be used. If another printer is available, retry.

• Fluorescent light sources can cause interference with communicaons sent to the i‑STAT Alinity

printer. When light from a uorescent source of sucient proximity or brightness has a direct path

into the printer's infrared radiaon (IR) window, the printer might fail to respond when records are

sent for prinng over a serial (wired) connecon to a Base Staon.
