Do not modify the device and its components in any way without written consent of the
manufacturer. Failure to do so may result in a reduced level of safety of the system and/or
degradation of functionality.
Do not transport, store or operate the device at environmental conditions exceeding
those stated in section
If the device is moved from a cold
location to a warmer one, there will be a risk of condensation. If condensation occurs, the
device must be allowed to achieve normal temperature before it is switched on.
Make sure that any platform, table, cart, or other surface used during the operation,
transport, or temporary or permanent storage of the device and its components is
adequate, sturdy, and safe. Neither Natus Medical nor PATH MEDICAL is not responsible
for any injury or damage that may result from inadequate, poorly constructed, or
unapproved transports, carts, or operating surfaces.
Do not allow any fluid to infiltrate the device. Do not immerse the device in fluids or
cleaning agents.
Dust particles may corrupt the touch pad. Please make sure to keep the touch pad clear
of dust particles.
Do not put excessive pressure on the device display or allow any item to puncture the
device display.
Do not place the device next to a radiator or any other heat source.
8.3
Electrical Safety
The power supply is specified as a part of the device. Do not use any power supply other
than the ones defined in section
. The use of alternate power
supplies designed for other electronic devices such as notebook computers or printers
may cause damage to the device. Likewise, using the ALGO 7i power supply on other
types of devices may cause damage to those devices.
Avoid accidental contact between connected but unused applied parts and other
conductive parts including those connected to protective earth. Conductive parts of
sensors and their connectors including the neutral sensor are not allowed to contact
other conductive parts and earth.
Do not use the device during the application of high-frequency surgical devices, cardiac
pacemakers, defibrillators or other electrical stimulators. This may result in burns at the
site of sensors and possible damage to the applied parts.
Do not use the device in close proximity to shortwave or microwave therapy equipment
as it may produce instability in the applied parts.
Do not connect the Multi-Data Cable to the device during testing.
If a connection is established from the device to a standard PC which is powered through
the mains network, special precautions must be taken in order to maintain medical
safety. The Multi-Data Cable can only be used for PC connection if the connected PC is
outside the patient’s close range or if the PC is running on battery, is medical
ly approved,
or is powered via a medically approved safety transformer or is compliant to EN 60950.
In all other cases, a galvanic separator must be inserted in the USB connection.
