EV1000NI
The EV1000NI uses non-invasive ClearSight cuffs as the sensor and is powered through the
Pump component.
Unlike the EV1000 A, the EV1000 NI AC cord inserts horizontally into the unit. Therefore,
orientation is not a factor of liquid ingress. However, in case of excessive liquid exposure, the unit
may short circuit leading to a possible fire hazard due to liquid ingress at the AC cord connection.
This liquid ingress into the AC inlet can result in smoke, sparks, or fire if fluid bags are allowed to
drip on this power inlet.
Edwards is releasing a power cord entry cover for the pump unit in the EV1000 NI system to
reduce the potential for liquid or other conductive contaminants to enter the AC inlet. Edwards
recommends that the power cord not be removed from the power cord entry cover assembly once
first installed to avoid contamination, with exception of activities per your policy for inspection and
cleaning, and in accordance with cleaning instructions in the Operator’s Manual.
While the power cord entry cover helps prevent shorts through liquid ingress, IV bags and other
fluids should still be placed away from electronic connectors to ensure the units
remain dry and free of contaminants.
The actions for EV1000NI include:
Implementation of design changes to EV1000NI, Boot and Bracket, to eliminate or reduce the
potential for liquid ingress and other potential contaminants.
Edwards personnel, Technical
Service Administrators or a distributor will contact you to arrange installation: it can be installed
by your Biomedical Engineering Staff, in accordance with the guidance that will be provided
by Edwards personnel OR Edwards personnel will visit your facility to apply the Boot and
Bracket (due to the fluid situation of COVID-19, Edwards Personnel will visit your facility
at a later date).
