Safety instructions
EN
• Do not operate SOMNO
check
micro with devices which supply the body with
energy – electrical stimulation devices, for example.
• Maintain a safe distance between SOMNO
check
micro and devices which emit
HF radiation (e.g. cellphones), otherwise there may be malfunctions (see “11.3
Safety distances” on page 63).
• Keep the patient a distance of 1.5 m from the PC on which you are saving data
and its components (e.g. printer).
• Additional equipment connected to the analog and digital ports of the device
must have evidence of conformity with the corresponding EN specifications (e.g.
EN 60950 for data processing devices and EN 60601 for electrical medical
devices). Furthermore, all configurations must comply with the version of system
standard EN 60601-1-1 in force at the time of sale. Anyone connecting
additional devices to the signal input or output part is considered a system
configurer and is thus responsible for compliance with the applicable version of
system standard EN 60601-1-1. In the event of questions, contact your local
specialist dealer or the manufacurer.
• The device may deliver incorrect measurement results if drugs which change
blood color or measured physiological parameters are taken.
Note
• Do not use the device for diagnostic tests to rule out Cheyne-Stokes respiration
and arrhythmias.
• A medical professional must instruct the patient in how to handle the sleep
apnea diagnosis set.
• Do not connect any third-party devices to SOMNO
check
micro.
• Only use the device indoors.
• Non-medical equipment should only be positioned outside the patient’s
immediate vicinity.
• Operate and store the device only under the ambient conditions quoted in the
technical data.
• Replace all parts which are damaged, worn or contaminated before using the
device.
• Before you work with the sleep apnea diagnosis set, you must have understood
how to handle it.
• The sleep apnea diagnosis set generates information signals. These are for
checking the presence of signals for recording and to check the function of the
device. Alarms are not generated.
• Fix the device firmly but comfortably to your patient’s forearm.
