Cautions2 Warnings, Cautions, and Symbol Denitions
e following precautions refer to hazards that could result in injury to the
patient or user or damage to the CVi system or other equipment. Read this
section carefully.
Accessories
For proper operation and to ensure equipment compatibility, use only
accessories and options provided or specied by ACIST Medical Systems for
use with the CVi system.
Bed Rail Mount
Failure to securely clamp the CVi system components to the bed rail may result
in serious injury or equipment damage. Mount equipment according to the bed
manufacturer’s recommendations. Before mounting the CVi system on a bed
rail, consult the bed manufacturer's specications to make sure that the rail can
support the system's weight.
Cleaning
To avoid equipment damage:
• Do not apply bleach or other cleaners except as specied. Damage and
degradation of the system and its parts can result if such solutions are
applied.
• Do not apply cleaning solutions to the rubber membrane of the pressure
transducer backplate. Applying cleaning solutions to the rubber backplate
can degrade the transducer, resulting in poor pressure waveforms.
Control Panel Touch Screen
Touch the control panel screen in only one place at a time to avoid
inadvertently activating buttons.
Electromagnetic/Electrostatic Guidance
• e CVi system may fail to operate correctly if exposed to certain
electromagnetic elds (for example, radio transmitters, cell phones), or if
exposed to high levels of electrostatic discharge. To avoid adverse events due
to electromagnetic disturbances, ensure the system is properly connected
to hospital ground and not subjected to electromagnetic/electrostatic
environments that exceed compatibility limits as dened in IEC 60601-1-2.
Refer to the compatibility ranges in Chapter 10.
• e use of accessories, transducers, or cables other than those specied
and provided by ACIST Medical may result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the CVi system.
• e CVi system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the system should
be observed prior to patient use to verify normal operation in the
conguration in which it will be used.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30cm
(12inches) from any part of the CVi system, including cables specied
by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
