USER SAFETY INFORMATION
Wireless Data Transmission •
x
The device is equipped with a wireless data transmission module. This technology uses radios to transmit data to a Mortara receiving application. Due to the nature of radio transmissions, it is possible that, due to the characteristics of the environment where the device is located, some other RF sources may interfere with the transmission generated by the device. Mortara Instrument has tested the coexistence of the device with other devices that can interfere such as devices using WLAN, Bluetooth radio, and/or cell phones. Although the current technology allows a very successful rate of transmission, it is possible that in some rare occurrences, the system may not perform at its best resulting in a “failed transmission”. When this occurs, patient data will not be erased from the device nor stored in the receiving application, ensuring that partial or corrupted data are not made available to the receiving station. If the failure mode persists the user should move to a position where the RF signals may propagate better and allow successful transmissions, such as in close proximity to the receiver.

GENERAL CARE Precautions • • •
Turn off the device before inspecting or cleaning. Do not immerse the device in water. Do not use organic solvents, ammonia-based solutions, or abrasive cleaning agents which may damage equipment surfaces.
Inspection Inspect your equipment daily prior to operation. If you notice anything that requires repair, contact an authorized service person to make the repairs. • Verify that all cables and connectors are securely seated. • Check the case and chassis for any visible damage. • Inspect cords and connectors for any visible damage. • Inspect keys and controls for proper function and appearance.
Cleaning and Disinfection Refer to section 4 for proper cleaning and disinfection procedures.
Sterilization EtO sterilization is prohibited by regulation for this device.
Test Operation After cleaning and inspecting the device, proper operation of the unit may be confirmed by using an ECG simulator to acquire, display, and print a standard 12-lead ECG of known amplitude using a test protocol. Waveforms should appear normal with proper amplitude and without distortion or excess noise. There is no need to submit the test ECG to the Clinical Information Server.
Cautions Improper cleaning products and processes can damage the device, produce brittle lead wires and cables, corrode the metal, and void the warranty. Use care and proper procedure whenever cleaning or maintaining the device. Electromagnetic compatibility with surrounding devices should be assessed when using the device. An electronic device can either generate or receive electromagnetic interference. Testing for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has been performed on the WAM PC and UTK devices together with a representative receiver unit according to the international standard for EMC for medical devices (IEC 60601-1-2). This IEC standard has been adopted in Europe as the European Norm (EN 60601-1-2). The device should not be used adjacent to, or stacked on top of other equipment. If the device must be used adjacent to or stacked on top of other equipment, verify that the device operates in an acceptable manner in the configuration in which it will be used. Fixed, portable, and mobile radio frequency communications equipment can affect the performance of medical equipment. See Table X-4 for recommended separation distances between the radio equipment and the device. The use of accessories and cables other than those specified below, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device.

a. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radios, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the equipment. b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [3] V/m.
