21. When replacing the batteries all 4 should be replaced together,
use batteries from the same manufacturer, never mix new
and old batteries, make sure all 4 batteries are inserted in the
correct orientation.
22.
If the flowhead is removed from the micro (when
disassembling for cleaning and/or to attach the remote
flowhead adaptor), care should be taken with the exposed
edges. During normal use, these edges are covered, are not
accessible by the user or subject.
23.
Use of accessories and cables other than those specified
or provided by Vitalograph for this equipment could result
in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of the device and result in improper
operation.
24.
Non-medical equipment must be kept outside the subject
environment i.e., any area in which intentional or unintentional
contact between the subject and parts of the system, or some
other persons touching part of the system, can occur.
25.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be
used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the
device, including cables specified by Vitalograph. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
26.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they
are operating normally.
27. Avoid exposure to known sources of EMI (electromagnetic
interference) such as diathermy, lithotripsy, electrocautery,
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and electromagnetic
security systems such as anti-theft/electronic article
surveillance systems, metal detectors. Note that the presence
of RFID devices may not be obvious. If such interference is
suspected, reposition the equipment if possible, to maximize
distances.
28. This device is ‘MR Unsafe’, do not use it in an MRI environment.
