Isolation / Isolation Transformer
When replacing fuses on your system or Isolation Transformer box only use the rating and type as indicated on
the device label. Incorrect fusing could lead to a possibility of fire.
The power outlets on the ISO box are intended for use only with Natus approved system components. Use of any
other equipment could result in damage to the power system or compromise patient isolation.
Power the system from the Isolation Transformer (if one is configured with your system) to guard against the loss
of isolation protection.
Preventative Maintenance
Electrical safety testing is recommended. It is recommended a schedule be established for these purposes, with at
least an annual cleaning and safety testing. This system does not require calibration unless otherwise stated.
Preventative maintenance does not require access to the interior of the instrument. For this device, preventative
maintenance consists of periodically cleaning and inspecting the exterior of the instrument.
Cleaning consists of removing all dust from the exterior surface of the system with a soft brush or cloth. Use a
brush to dislodge any dirt on or around the connectors and panel edges. Remove any dirt with a soft cloth, slightly
dampened with a mild detergent.
Turn OFF system power before cleaning. Prevent detergent solution or fluids from seeping into the electronics of
the instrument. Be especially careful around controls, connectors and panel edges.
Disconnect patient and switch off and remove power to the system before attempting any service, maintenance,
or preventive maintenance.
Batteries
Failure to follow the manufacturer’s guidance regarding Lithium-Ion batteries may cause the batteries to fail or
cause a fire. Follow all manufacturers guidance.
