Kite
WARNING: When using Root the Kite accessory does not generate or manage alarms. The
Root alarms, used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms, are the primary sources
for determining that an alarm condition exists.
CAUTION: Kite is not a primary display. Medical decisions should be made using data from
the primary display of a device in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
Patient SafetyNet System
Note: The wireless communication status between Root and Patient SafetyNet is displayed
by Patient SafetyNet.
Cleaning and Service Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard: The Root battery should be installed and/or removed
from Root only by qualified personnel.
WARNING: Do not use petroleum-based or acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to
clean the Root. These substances affect the device’s materials and device failure can result.
CAUTION: Do not touch, press, or rub the display panels with abrasive cleaning compounds,
instruments, brushes, rough-surface materials, or bring them into contact with anything that
could scratch the display.
CAUTION: Do not submerge the Root in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by
autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously
damage the device.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the temperature probe do not autoclave.
CAUTION: Electrical shock and flammability hazard: Before cleaning, always turn off the
device and disconnect from any AC power source.
CAUTION: An operator may only perform maintenance procedures specifically described in
the manual. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel trained in the repair of this
equipment.
CAUTION: Electrical Shock Hazard: Carry out periodic tests to verify that leakage currents of
patient-applied circuits and the system are within acceptable limits as specified by the
applicable safety standards. The summation of leakage currents must be checked and in
compliance with IEC 60601-1 and UL60601-1. The system leakage current must be checked
when connecting external equipment to the system. When an event such as a component
drop of approximately 1 meter or greater or a spillage of blood or other liquids occurs, retest
before further use. Injury to personnel could occur.
Note: Excessive cleaning solution can flow into the device and cause damage to internal
components.
