Read all sections of the user manual prior to using the ALGO 3i screener to screen infant
hearing. Inspect the ALGO 3i device and cables for any damage prior to screening an infant. Do
not use if damage is present. Contact Natus Technical Service or an authorized service
representative.
See Chapter IX for a listing of safety symbols used.
Warning: This equipment is not protected from a cardiac defibrillator discharge. Using a
defibrillator while a patient is connected to the system equipment may permanently damage the
equipment.
Warning: Do not use the screener if you suspect it is not functioning properly or if any parts appear
damaged. Please call Natus Technical Service or your authorized service provider for assistance.
Warning! Ensure that the ALGO 3i screener is securely positioned on the bassinet, flat surface, or
mounting pole (option).
Warning! Ensure that the ATA and preamp cables are positioned to prevent cable damage and
obstruction of user and infant movement.
Warning! Do not attempt to plug the Natus ATA3i or Preamp3i cable into any other equipment, as
unspecified damage to either component may occur. Both the ATA and the Preamp/PCA cables are
patient connected cables and must only be plugged into the ALGO 3i device.
Warning! Print or export data to a PC outside of the immediate patient care area.
Warning! When the device battery requires replacement, always change batteries outside of the
immediate patient care area.
Warning! The ALGO 3i screener must be disconnected from the battery charger before screening. The
battery charger has a functional earth for electromagnetic compliance. The ALGO 3i screener will not
allow screening to be initiated or continued when the charger is connected. If a user connects the device
to the charger during a screening in progress, the device will display a warning message and will exit
the screening. This is to prevent the mains artifact from affecting the screening results.
Warning! To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply Mains
with protective earth.
Warning! This equipment may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby
equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures such as reorienting or relocating the
equipment.
Warning! If the device is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack to avoid
leakage of electrolyte.
Warning! Follow local ordinances in coordination with your hospital’s or institution’s protocol for
proper disposal of battery, ALGO 3i device, battery charger, and any accessories.
