Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
CAUTION
ATTENTION
SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
OBSERVE PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING
DO NOT SHIP OR STORE NEAR STRONG ELECTROSTATIC, ELECTROMAGNETIC, MAGNETIC OR RADIOACTIVE FIELDS.
ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
WARNING Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Handle static-sensitive components only at static-safe workstation. WARNING Consider all electrical and electronic components of the monitor as static-sensitive. Electrostatic discharge is a sudden current flowing from a charged object to another object or to ground. Electrostatic charges can accumulate on common items such as foam drinking cups, cellophane tape, synthetic clothing, untreated foam packaging material, untreated plastic bags, and work folders, to name only a few. Electronic components and assemblies, if not properly protected against ESD, can be permanently damaged or destroyed when near or in contact with electrostatically charged objects. When you handle components or assemblies that are not in protective bags and you are not sure whether they are static-sensitive, assume that they are static-sensitive and handle them accordingly. •
Perform all service procedures in a static-protected environment. Always use techniques and equipment designed to protect personnel and equipment from electrostatic discharge.
•
Remove static-sensitive components and assemblies from their static-shielding bags only at static-safe workstations-a properly grounded table and grounded floor mat- and only when you are wearing a grounded wrist strap (with a resistor of at least 1 megohm in series) or other grounding device.
•
Use only grounded tools when inserting, adjusting, or removing static-sensitive components and assemblies.
•
Remove or insert static-sensitive components and assemblies only with monitor power turned off.
•
Insert and seal static-sensitive components and assemblies into their original staticshielding bags before removing them from static-protected areas.
•
Always test your ground strap, bench mat, conductive work surface, and ground cord before removing components and assemblies from their protective bags and before beginning any disassembly or assembly procedures.

Leak test This tests the NIBP system for abnormal leakage. If the NIBP system is leaking, check for leaks in the external plumbing before opening the case to look for internal leaks. If you determine that any NIBP module component is causing abnormal leakage, you must replace the NIBP module before returning the monitor to clinical use. Caution Do not attempt component-level repair of the NIBP module. Any change to the NIBP module requires that the monitor be returned to the factory for NIBP module calibration. 1.
Put the monitor in Service mode: a.
Power the monitor off.
b. Power the monitor on while pressing
.
WARNING Do not connect the monitor to a patient while the monitor is in Service mode. Overpressure detection is disabled while the monitor is in NIBP test mode. 2.
