Heart and Respiration Rate Monitoring System powered by EarlySense
86 Centrella® Smart+ Bed with Heart and Respiration Rate Monitoring System powered by EarlySense Instructions for Use
(193587 REV 10)
(Warnings continued) To prevent injury and/or equipment damage obey these warnings:
• Warning—The HR and RR Monitoring System powered by EarlySense is not intended for
monitoring high risk situations where ECG monitoring is required. The most reliable method
of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of the
monitoring equipment.
• Warning—Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hill-Rom could affect the
safety or effectiveness of the HR/RR Monitoring sensor and void the system warranty.
• Warning—Do not use a damaged HR/RR Monitoring sensor. Use of damaged components
might result in malfunctioning of the system.
• Warning—Only facility-authorized maintenance persons should install the HR/RR Monitoring
sensor.
• Warning—Only Hill-Rom qualified persons should service the HR/RR Monitoring sensor.
• Warning—The HR/RR Monitoring sensor contains no serviceable parts. Do not open the
system covers.
• Warning—Do not share the bed with another person or pet when the HR/RR Monitoring
sensor is active. Sharing the bed could affect the effectiveness of the system and the accuracy
of the measurements.
• Warning—Alarm threshold settings are patient or facility specific. The clinician must set and
verify alarm thresholds appropriate for each patient. Each time the bed is powered on, you
must check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start
monitoring. Failure to set alarms appropriately can lead to false alarms or failure to alarm.
Alarming will only operate properly if set up properly.
• Warning—Avoid using heating blankets. Use of heating blankets could affect the safety or
effectiveness of the HR/RR Monitoring sensor and void the system’s warranty.
• Warning—Do not use the HR/RR Monitoring sensor for patients who weigh more than the
limit of the EarlySense® System, which is 700 lb (318 kg), or the associated Bed System, which
for the Centrella® Smart+ Bed is 500 lb (277 kg), whichever is lower.
• Warning—The use of the HR/RR Monitoring sensor on the bed, close to any adjacent source
of vibration, might influence the accuracy of the system’s measurements or create periodic
interferences with the measurement.
• Warning—All wireless systems are prone to intermittent signal dropout. Make sure the
patient only has conditions which can tolerate intermittent monitoring interruptions.
To help prevent equipment damage, obey these cautions:
• Caution—The system is intended for indoor operation only.
• Caution—The patient should not have direct contact with the HR/RR Monitoring sensor. A
mattress should always be placed as a barrier between the HR/RR Monitoring sensor and the
patient. The patient should be frequently checked to make sure direct contact does not occur.
• Caution—Use only parts and accessories from Hill-Rom. Do not modify or change the bed
system without approval from Hill-Rom.
