Do not immerse the INVOS™ system in any liquids as they may cause electric shock hazard or
damage the device.

Only make external connections to the types of equipment specified in the interfacing chapter
of this manual (see Chapter

equipment may result in damage to the INVOS™ system or compromise its safety. When a
personal computer (PC) or specified printer is used for data downloading and collection, the
device should be in compliance with IEC 60601 “Medical Electrical Equipment” Standard or IEC:
“Non-medical equipment in compliance with relevant IEC safety standards.” It is
recommended that the PC be placed outside of the “Patient Environment.” If this condition
cannot be met and the PC is also placed inside the “Patient Environment,” then additional
protective earth or leakage current reduction measures, such as a power supply separation
device shall be used (see IEC 60601-1-1, subclause 19.201 and table BBB. 201). Follow all
