PRECAUTIONS
Potential Device Interference. Bluetooth
®
and wireless LAN devices operate within the same
radio frequency range and may interfere with one another.
If you are using the BladderScan BVI9400 Bluetooth link and wireless LAN devices
simultaneously, you may experience less‑than‑optimal network performance or even lose your
network connection. If this happens, you may need to move the BladderScan and Scan Point
®
host computer to an area away from the 2.4‑GHz wireless LAN devices (40m [44yd], ormore).
CAUTION
Use of the following cleaning methods or solutions may cause device damage not covered by
the BladderScan BVI9400 warranty.
• Do not immerse the instrument in disinfectant solution.
• Do not use Cidex Plus
®
to disinfect the instrument. Cidex Plus will damage the plastic enclosure.
• Do not subject any part of the instrument to steam sterilization or ethylene oxide sterilization.
CAUTION
When using the BladderScan BVI9400 with optional Scan Point
®
software, your computer must
be minimally certified to IEC 60950‑1 or 61010‑1 standards. This configuration ensures that
compliance to the IEC 60601‑1 system standard is maintained. Anyone connecting additional
equipment to the BladderScan BVI9400 signal input port or signal output port configures
a medical system, and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system complies with
IEC60601‑1. If you need assistance, contact your biomedical staff, Verathon representative, or
Verathon Customer Care.
CAUTION
The BladderScan BVI9400 and related devices may contain mineral oils, batteries, and other
