Basic System Care
Stability
Place the SphygmoCor XCEL device gently onto a stable surface. Dropping the unit can cause damage

Choose a proper location that is free of clutter and away from high activity areas where the device could
be accidentally dropped.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the SphygmoCor XCEL device or subject it to strong impact. Excessive
pressure or impact can damage electronic components or otherwise cause malfunctions.
Temperature
The SphygmoCor XCEL System should be used and stored in ambient temperature and relative humidity
within the range outlined in Technical Specifications in the user manual.
Caution: Do not expose the unit to dirt, moisture or dust. Exposing the unit to dust or moisture could
cause it to fail. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight – prolonged sun or heat exposure may result in
overheating and damage to internal components. If you place the unit near a window, leave it inside
your car, or take it outside in direct sun, it may overheat and damage internal components.
Magnetic fields
Magnets, television sets, radios, large electric motors or any other source of strong magnetic fields such
as MRI devices will affect the operation or may cause it to fail.
Caution: Do not place any components near strong magnetic fields.
Liquids
Liquids on or inside any components of the SphygmoCor XCEL System can cause irreversible damage.
Caution: Do not spill liquids on any component.
Weight
Weight applied to the top of the SphygmoCor XCEL device may cause the unit enclosure to crack and
other parts to be damaged.
Caution: Do not place any objects on top of the SphygmoCor XCEL device. Items on top of the
SphygmoCor XCEL device may obscure or inadvertently activate the Stop Button.
