WARNING: Root may be used during defibrillation, but this may affect the
accuracy or availability of the parameters and measurements.
WARNING: Root may be used during electrocautery, but this may affect the
accuracy or availability of the parameters and measurements.
WARNING: Wireless communication of alarms to a secondary monitoring station
should not be relied upon as a primary alarm.
WARNING: Do not place the Root against a surface that may cause the alarm to be
muffled.
CAUTION: Ensure the speaker is not covered.
CAUTION: Before using Root under high intensity surgical lights, confirm that the
display settings allow for clear display of measurements.
CAUTION: Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or
dimmer.
CAUTION: Do not place the Root on electrical equipment that may affect the
instrument, preventing it from working properly.
CAUTION: Failure to charge Root promptly after a Low Battery alarm may result
in the instrument shutting down.
CAUTION: To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits
radio frequency transmissions should not be in close proximity to Root.
CAUTION: If the Radical-7 or Radius-7 stops communicating with Root,
parameters and measurements will not show on the Root; however, this will not
affect Radical-7's or Radius-7's ability to monitor the patient.
CAUTION: In order to establish and maintain Root’s minimum Quality of Service,
the following network specifications should be met before and after installation:
Wired Network Connection
During Ping Test, passing result if:
a. At least 98% of packets have latency ≤ 30 milliseconds, and
b. No more than 2 % packets loss.
Wireless Network Connection
During Ping Test, passing result if:
a. At least 98% of packets have latency ≤ 100 milliseconds,
b. No more than 2 % packets loss, and
c. Primary access point signal strength at least -67 dBm.
CAUTION: The wireless quality of services may be influenced by the presence of
other devices that may create radio frequency interference (RFI). Some RFI devices
to consider are as follows: electrocautery equipment, cellular telephones, wireless
