Taking a Measurement
54
Step 1: Preparing the Patient
To prepare the patient:
Make sure the patient is dressed in plain light clothing.
Avoid using over a bra.
CAUTION:
To ensure high quality measurements, use the device over plain, light clothing such
as a t-shirt or an undershirt. Metal elements under the sensors should be avoided,
such as jewelry. Avoid using device over a bra.
Powering Up
WARNING!
This system should not be operated if there is any visible physical damage to any
of its parts (Sensor Vest, Bedside Console, power supply or cables), such as
cracks, breaks, tears and so on.
The ReDS System should not be used in the vicinity of RF emitters such as
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, computed tomography (CT)
machines, RF diathermy devices, RFID devices and electromagnetic security
systems such as metal detectors, as this may result in increased electromagnetic
interference to the ReDS System.
To avoid possible interference from such hospital environment emitters, the
ReDS System should not be used in the vicinity of, or during procedures
involving devices which deliver energy. In addition, avoid using RFID devices
(such as asset or patient tracking RFID devices) in proximity to the device
while taking a reading.
To power up the ReDS System:
1
Plug in the Power Supply to a standard power outlet.
