monitor has an internal power source that is active when the
unit is unplugged.
• Shock Hazard! Do not clean the main monitor or accessories
with the patient attached to the monitor.
• Shock Hazard! Remove the power cord from the base of the
patient monitor to isolate any AC (Mains) power from the patient
monitor.
• Shock Hazard! Remove the power cord from the remote display
to isolate any AC (Mains) power from the remote display.
• Remove the main monitor from the MR Scanner room
environment to a safe location for cleaning purposes. Avoid
using cleaning products that are kept in ferromagnetic
containers.
• Avoid using ferromagnetic tools in any maintenance procedure.
• Improper disposal of batteries may result in explosion, leakage,
or personal injury. Do not open the batteries. Do not dispose of
the batteries in a fire. Follow all local and national regulations
concerning the disposal of spent Lead-acid and Lithium-Ion
batteries, or contact MEDRAD for assistance.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners on the monitor or on any sensors
or probes. Abrasive cleaners can damage the monitor, sensors,
and probes.

screen, may be wiped clean with alcohol and dried with a soft,
dry cloth. It is best to use a cotton cloth to clean the monitor.
