the device does not lead to longer periods of impaired blood circulation of
the patient.
Protection against
electrical shock
The ambulatory blood pressure recorder meets the relevant standards for
protection against the risk of electrical shock. PremoPort
Four
works with two
1.5 V AA disposable batteries or two 1.2 V AA rechargeable batteries. This
excludes any hazard due to electrical shock, even in the unlikely case in which
several device errors occur simultaneously. Use exclusively standard long-life
alkaline batteries or standard NiCd or NiMH batteries of the appropriate size.
Do not use lithium batteries. Do not mix battery types under any circumstances,
do not mix new and old batteries and do not use any defective batteries.
Safety distance to
computer
Many personal computers (PC) do not comply with certain standards to protect
against the risks of electrical shock or the strict safety regulations for medical
devices. Zimmer MedizinSysteme recommends a safety distance of at least 2
meters between the patient and PC while PremoPort
Four
is connected to the
PC. PremoPort
Four
communicates with an optical plastic cable whose 4 m
standard length allows the required safety distance. The optical plastic cable
ensures optimal galvanic separation and reduces the effects of external
electronic interferences. It does not conduct any electricity.
Hazardous substances
Used batteries are classified as hazardous waste and should be accordingly -
disposed of.
PremoPort
Four
does not contain any materials from pharmaceutical
substances or tissues of animal origin. PremoPort
Four
does not emit any
material or energy hazards for humans.
Risk of incorrect
diagnosis
The fundamental intended use of the recorder is to record blood pressure and
heart rate. Patients should be informed about the rules regarding cooperation,
appropriate handling of the recorder and the expected monitoring results.
PremoPort
Four
provides only data to support diagnostic decisions by a
qualified physician. PremoPort
Four
itself does not make a diagnosis. When
reviewing recorded blood pressure values, attention should be paid to possible
artefacts and electronic interferences and they should be handled with care.
