i-STAT ALINITY PRINTER (CONT.)
NOTE:
• The instrument and its peripherals are not listed by any authority with
respect to suitability for use in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
• In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow any leakage to come into
contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• If a printout appears inconsistent with a patient’s clinical assessment, verify
that the correct patient record was selected (patient ID, date and time of
test, etc.). If the record is not correct, select the correct record and print.
If the printout still does not match the data in the instrument, the printer
needs service and the printed results must not be used. If another printer is
available, retry.
• Fluorescent light sources can cause interference with communications
sent to the i-STAT Alinity printer. When light from a fluorescent source of
sufficient proximity or brightness has a direct path into the printer’s infrared
radiation (IR) window, the printer might fail to respond when records are
sent for printing over a serial (wired) connection to a Base Station.
