Root NIBPT Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions
www.masimo.com 14 Masimo
WARNING: As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cables to reduce the
possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
CAUTION: Do not place the Root where the controls can be changed by the patient.
CAUTION: To ensure patient isolation, connect only Masimo devices that have been designed
for Root.
CAUTION: Equipment intended to be connected to signal input/signal output ports should
comply with applicable electrical safety standards to further minimize the risk of electric
shock. Only devices that have been configured to operate with Root may function properly
when connected.
CAUTION: Only use the AC power cable provided by Masimo. Using a different AC power cable
could cause damage to Root. Check the power cord and plug to ensure that it is intact and
undamaged.
CAUTION: To avoid risk of electrical shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with a protective earth connection. Do not under any circumstances remove the
grounding conductor from the power plug.
CAUTION: Use a grounded outlet for proper equipment grounding. A hospital-grade outlet is
required.
CAUTION: Do not place Root where the appliance inlet or the AC power plug cannot be
readily disconnected.
Note: Disconnect the device from AC mains by removing the AC power cord connector from
the device inlet.
Note: If there is any doubt about the integrity of the protective earth conductor arrangement,
operate Root on internal battery power until the AC power supply protective conductor is fully
functional.
Note: Do not monitor more than a single patient at a time on Root.
Note: It is recommended that Root is attached to an AC power source when it is not in use to
ensure that the battery remains fully charged.
Note: For medical technologies that require AC power, the battery should be adequately
charged to ensure backup power in case of AC power disruption.
Noninvasive Blood Pressure
WARNING: Frequently check the blood pressure monitoring site to ensure adequate
circulation.
WARNING: Only use Root in neonatal mode with a neonatal blood pressure cuff to measure
blood pressure on neonates.
WARNING: Neonatal blood pressure measurements must always use a three (3) meter hose
in order to avoid overpressure error caused by lack of air volume within the overall pneumatic
system.
WARNING: Frequently check the blood pressure monitoring site to ensure adequate
circulation.
WARNING: Do not apply the cuff to a limb that is on the same side of a mastectomy.
