HemoSphere Advanced Monitor 3 Installation and Setup
WARNING Do not use the HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform without an installed power
cord entry cover. Failure to do so may result in fluid ingress.
3.3.3.1 Equipotential Connection
This monitor MUST be grounded during operation (Class I equipment according to IEC 60601-1). If a
hospital grade or three-prong receptacle is not available, a hospital electrician must be consulted to ensure
proper grounding. An equipotential terminal is provided on the rear panel of the monitor (figure 3-2) to be
connected to an equipotential grounding system (equipotential cable).
WARNING Do not use extension cords or multiple socket devices to connect the power cord. Do
not use detachable power cords other than the power cord provided.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, the HemoSphere advanced monitor can only be
connected to a supply mains with grounding (protective earth). Do not use three prong
to two prong power adaptors.
Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the instrument is connected to a recep-
tacle marked “hospital only”, “hospital grade”, or its equivalent.
Disconnect the monitor from the AC source by unplugging mains power cable from
the AC Mains. The On/Off button on the monitor does not disconnect the system
from the AC mains supply.
CAUTION When moving the instrument, be sure to turn off the power and remove the connected
power cord.
3.3.4 Connecting and Disconnecting a Hemodynamic Monitoring Module
The HemoSphere advanced monitor is shipped with two standard expansion modules and one L-Tech
expansion module. Before inserting a new monitoring technology module, remove the expansion module by
pressing the release button to unlatch and slide the blank module out.
Inspect the new module for external damage before installation. Insert the desired monitoring module into
the open slot by applying even pressure to slide and click the module into place.
