PRECAUTIONS
Caution:
Federal (U.S.A) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Caution:
Do not pull the cables to disconnect from the system. Pulling the cable may damage the cable
or cable connection.
Caution:
Excessive twisting or bending of the sensor cable may cause system failure.
Caution:
Use only Bard Access Systems’ cleaning and disinfection procedures. Failure to do so may
damage the device.
Caution:
Do not use excessive force when connecting or disconnecting the Fin Assembly to or from the
sensor or equipment damage may occur.
Caution:
When the sensor is not in use, store in the holster, roll stand basket or other secure location to
avoid damage.
Caution:
Do not allow any ferromagnetic objects, e.g. wired undergarments, metal instruments,
watches, jewelry, electronics, metal bedrails, etc. to be within 12 in (30 cm) of the sensor once the
calibration process is complete. These items may interfere with the sensor's ability to accurately locate
the Sherlock™ stylet tip.
Caution:
Equipment operating in close proximity may emit strong electromagnetic or radio frequency
interference which could affect the performance of this device. Avoid operating the device near pumps,
cauterizers, diathermy equipment, cellular phones, or other portable and mobile radio frequency
communications equipment. Maintain equipment separation of at least 5 ft (1.5 m).
Caution

infected or inflamed areas).
Caution:
Placement of red electrode outside of the correct region may result in reduced ECG
performance. See Section 4.
Caution:
Discontinue electrode use immediately if skin irritation occurs.
Caution:
To avoid damage to the device operating system, shutdown the device through the Power
