COOK Medical DP-M350 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 3

• The Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-M350) must not be exposed to temperatures in
excess of 65°C (149°F).
• The Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-M350) contains no user serviceable components and
requires no maintenance or calibration.
• If required, the DP-M350 lithium-ion battery pack replacement must be performed only by trained Cook
personnel at an authorized Cook repair facility, as incorrect replacement could result in an unacceptable
risk to untrained personnel, the monitor or the surrounding environment.
• The Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-M350) must only be returned to and repaired by
Cook personnel at an authorized Cook facility. Should the Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System
(DP-M350) require repair, contact Cook or your Cook Medical Distributor for information on returning
the device for repair.
• The DP-M350 System is a complementary diagnostic device set and should be only used in conjunction
with primary clinical blood flow / tissue perfusion confirmation techniques. In the event that the system's
audio signal is lost, immediately contact the responsible healthcare provider for a rapid assessment of
the monitored tissue's perfusion status and to determine if restorative intervention is required.
PRECAUTIONS
• The Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-M350) emits ultrasound energy. As with any
ultrasound device, the operator should minimize the exposure of ultrasound energy to the patient using
the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
• The Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-M350) is intended to be splash/spill resistant,
however care should be taken to prevent the ingress of liquids.
• Exerting force on cables attached to the probe may cause the transducer assembly to separate and
detach from the vessel being monitored. Therefore, the Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-
M350) should not be placed in a location that produces tension on the cables.
• Changes in audio signals produced by the Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor System (DP-M350) should
be immediately documented and reported to the responsible healthcare provider.
• If monitoring the presence of blood flow using the monitor's lighted LED display, confirm a
corresponding audio signal from the unit no less than every two (2) hours.
• Avoid the application of electrosurgical energy on or near a connected Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe
or extension cable as damage to the monitor may occur.
• Not intended for fetal use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Operators of the COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe and Monitor System should minimize patient
exposure of ultrasound energy using the principles of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achiev-
able). The acoustic output intensity and duty factor of the COOK-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe and
Monitor System cannot be adjusted by the user. The user should minimize the time that the unit
is turned on to minimize patient exposure according to ALARA principles. Therefore, when not
monitoring for blood flow, the unit should be turned off.
WARNING: To isolate equipment from mains remove the battery charger from the AC mains
socket.
Before using the Cook Doppler Blood Flow Monitor, make sure the unit is fully charged. Attach
the supplied charger to the rear of the unit, plug the AC line cord into a 110 to 220 volt AC wall
receptacle and charge the internal batteries until the indicator on the top of the charger illumi-
nates green.
1. Depress the "ON/OFF" button to turn the monitor ON, then press the Volume Control ( - + ) so that two or
three lights are illuminated, while the volume control button is depressed.
2. Press the Test button. If no tone/beep is heard, the unit requires service. The device is to be serviced only
by Cook. Contact your Cook Medical products distributor for information.
