Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF
Communications Equipment and LifePort Kidney Transporter
LifePort Kidney Transporter is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of LifePort Kidney Transporter can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and LifePort
Kidney Transporter as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters
(m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output
power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1:
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2:
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
Operational Precautions and Limitations
The following information will affect the success in using LifePort Kidney Transporter.
Should Be Used Only By Trained Professionals
— Federal law restricts the sale of this device to physicians
and medical professionals only. Use of the device in procedures other than those described in this manual may
result in injury.
Do Not Reuse Perfusion Circuits or Cannulas
— The Perfusion Circuits, Sterile Drapes, and cannulas are
sterile as supplied and are intended for single-use. The method of sterilization is ethylene oxide gas. After use,
they should be disposed of in accordance with local guidelines for biomedical waste.
Use Only Manufacturer-Approved Accessories
— Only manufacturer-approved accessories (e.g., batteries,
Perfusion Circuits, Power Cable, data cable) are designed to work properly with LifePort Kidney Transporter.
Do not substitute other batteries, Perfusion Circuits, cables, or accessories.
Use Only Ice and Water in the LifePort Ice Container
— A mixture of ice and water in the Ice Container
will assure that temperatures remain within the appropriate range for kidney preservation in LifePort Kidney
Transporter. To avoid inadvertently freezing the kidney,
ONLY USE ICE AND WATER
in LifePort Kidney
Transporter Ice Container.
Single Use Only Disposables
— LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposables are intended for single use only.
Disposables Already Sterile
— LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposables are sterile as supplied. Do not
resterilize.
Connect the System to an External Power Supply According to Labeling
—LifePort Kidney Transporter
uses externally supplied electricity to operate. Check the voltage and amperage ratings of the external supplies
and make sure they match the labeled ratings for electricity inputs shown on the rear of LifePort Kidney
Transporter.
Assure Adequate Ventilation
—Do not block the ventilation areas on the side and bottom of LifePort Kidney
Transporter, especially when external power is connected.
