1 Introduction
SenTec Digital Monitoring System 9
CAUTION: To ensure accurate performance and prevent device
failure, do not subject the SDM to heavy moisture, such as direct
exposure to rain. Such exposure may cause inaccurate
performance or device failure. If the SDM becomes wet
accidentally, it should be removed from AC power, wiped dry
externally, allowed to dry thoroughly, and inspected by qualified
service personnel before further use.
CAUTION: Do not sterilize any parts of the SDMS by irradiation,
steam, ethylene oxide, or H2O2 plasma.
CAUTION: Ensure that the SDM is properly grounded when
operating on AC power. If you are uncertain whether the AC
outlet is properly grounded, disconnect the SDM from the outlet
and use the battery power. Contact a qualified electrician to
examine the outlet for ground connections.
CAUTION: When installing/setting up the SDM, ensure that the
SDM can easily be disconnected from the AC power source at
any given time.
CAUTION: Use only hospital-grade power cords provided by
SenTec.
CAUTION: Ensure to always use the correct type and rating of
live and neutral fuses. Otherwise you risk damage or malfunction
of the SDM.
CAUTION: If the monitor is operated on an AC power source
with a depleted battery and the AC power is subsequently lost,
the monitor will shut down immediately.
CAUTION: Ensure that the fan of the SDM is clear of any
obstructions and that the SDM is located in a well-ventilated
dust-free atmosphere. Failure to do so could cause damage or
malfunction of the SDM.
