Compliance with standards
System complies with IEC60601-1-1 and IEC60601-1-2
Electromagnetic Compatibility
This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2: for electromagnetic
compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or systems.
This standard is designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a typical medical installation. However, because
of the proliferation of radio frequency transmitting equipment and other
sources of electrical noise in healthcare and other environments, it is
possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity
or strength of a source might disrupt the performance of this device.
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC,
and all equipment must be installed by qualified service personnel.
Contraindications for Use
The EarlySense Sensor is contraindicated for use in:
• Patients in whom proper positioning cannot be achieved or
maintained.
• Patients who do not meet the weight limits tested or specified.
• An MR environment.
• An explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable anesthetics
or gases.
Warnings and Cautions
• EarlySense System should be installed and serviced only by qualified
service personnel authorized by the EarlySense Company.
• In the event that sensor does not operate properly, contact Customer
Support.
• Measurements may be affected by cable lengths. Do not shorten or
extend the lengths without authorized accessories.
• Care should be taken for patients with poor bladder functioning or
control, including small children, when an EarlySense Sensor is placed
under their mattress.
• Do not share the bed with another person or pet during
EarlySense System recording session. Sharing the bed could affect
the effectiveness of the system and the accuracy of the measurements.
• Avoid using heating blankets. Use of heating blankets could affect the
safety or effectiveness of the EarlySense System and void the system’s
warranty.
• Do not use the sensor for patients who weigh more than 200 kg
(440 Pounds). Usage of the System for such patients might result in
malfunction of the Sensing Unit.
• The patient should not have direct contact with the Sensing Unit.
A mattress, mattress pad or mattress cover should always be placed
as a barrier between the Sensing Unit of the EarlySense System and
the patient. Patients should be frequently checked to ensure direct
contact does not occur.
• Careful oversight should be provided when EarlySense System is used
with children.
• The monitoring with contact-free sensor is not intended for
monitoring high risk situations where ECG monitoring is required.
The most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close
personal surveillance with correct operation of the monitoring
equipment.
• The EarlySense technology and parameters have not been studied on
any specific patient group, neither has it been studied as a diagnostic
tool of any specific disease or medical condition. It is meant as an
adjunctive tool only for measuring respiratory rate, heart rate and
movement rate.
• As with all medical equipment, carefully route sensor cables and
connections to reduce the possibility of entanglement or strangulation.
Avertissements et mises en garde
• Le système EarlySense doit être installé et entretenu par un personnel
de service qualifié uniquement, habilité par EarlySense Ltd.
• Si le capteur ne fonctionne pas correctement, contactez le service
client.
• Les mesures peuvent être affectées par les longueurs de câble.
Ne raccourcissez ni n’allongez les longueurs sans accessoires
autorisés.
• Il convient de faire attention avec les patients ne contrôlant pas bien
ou pas du tout leur vessie, notamment les jeunes enfants, lorsque
le capteur EarlySense est placé sous le matelas.
• Ne partagez pas le lit avec une autre personne ou un animal pendant
une session d’enregistrement avec le système EarlySense. Le partage
du lit peut nuire à l’efficacité du système et à la précision des mesures.
• Évitez d’utiliser des couvertures chauffantes. L’utilisation de
couvertures chauffantes peut nuire à la sécurité ou à l’efficacité du
système EarlySense et annuler la garantie du système.
• N’utilisez pas le capteur chez les patients pesant plus de 200 kg
(440 livres). L’utilisation du système chez ces patients peut provoquer
un dysfonctionnement de l’unité de détection.
• Le patient ne doit pas être en contact direct avec l’unité de détection.
Un matelas, un surmatelas ou une housse de matelas doit toujours
être placé entre le capteur du système EarlySense et le patient.
Vérifiez régulièrement l’absence de contact direct entre le patient et
le capteur.
• Une surveillance rigoureuse est nécessaire lorsque le système
EarlySense est utilisé chez les enfants.
• Le monitorage avec capteur sans contact n’est pas destiné à
la surveillance de situations à haut risque lorsqu’un monitorage ECG
est requis. La méthode de monitorage de patient la plus fiable allie
une surveillance individuelle rigoureuse et un bon fonctionnement de
l’équipement de monitorage.
• La technologie et les paramètres EarlySense n’ont pas été étudiés sur
un groupe de patients spécifique. Ils n’ont pas non plus été étudiés en
tant qu’outil de diagnostic pour une maladie ou un état pathologique
spécifique. Il vise à être utilisé comme un outil supplémentaire
de mesure de la fréquence respiratoire, cardiaque et du taux de
mouvement.
• Comme pour tout équipement médical, acheminez avec précaution
les câbles et les branchements afin de réduire le risque d’emmêlement
ou d’étranglement.
Positioning the Sensing Units
Place the Bed Sensing Unit under the patient’s mattress (at least 7 cm /
3 inch thick) and locate it underneath the chest area of the patient
horizontally.
Position the sensor so the top surface is facing upwards (as marked)
Position the cord that connects the Sensor and the Bedside Unit so that
it comes out from under the mattress at the head of the bed, in order
to prevent interference with the movement of the patient getting in and
out of bed.
If the sensor is placed on a metal framework that does not allow solid
support for the sensor, please consult your authorized representative.
Please make sure the sensor cable is not trailing on the floor.
How to use
1. Place the sensing unit under the mattress.
2. Connect the EarlySense Sensing Unit to the designated connector on
your compatible device.
3. Refer to the complete relevant system’s instruction for user, for proper
