Circadiance SmartMonitor2 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 10

14. Disconnect the power cord/battery charger and phone line during lightning storms to reduce risk of electrical shock to your
baby. The SmartMonitor 2 will not download by modem when the power cord/battery charger and phone line are
disconnected.
15. Remove the electrode belt and the lead wires when your baby is not being monitored. Long-term wear may be
uncomfortable.
16. Never use an extension cord with the power cord/battery charger.
17. Be aware of signal interference that can occur from external sources. Electronic signals are required for the SmartMonitor
2 to function. Sources of external interference could cause the monitor to miss apnea and heart rate alarms. Even though
the monitor contains methods and techniques which can provide protection from external sources of interference, you
should operate the monitor as follows:
•
Keep monitoring equipment, patient and patient leads at least three (3) feet away from all electrical appliances. Some
examples of this include TV sets, electric blankets, air conditioners, microwave ovens, cordless telephones, cellular
phones, waterbeds, and home computers.
•
Synthetic fabric from draperies or rugs can also cause interference due to static electricity. Touching a conductive
material with a grounded path, such as a wall or crib, before handling the patient or the SmartMonitor 2 often prevents
static build-up problems.
•
Strong transmitter signals from TV, radio, airport, police, fire, and ambulance stations could be picked up as heart
and/or breath signals. If located less than one (1) mile from one or more of these sources, the monitor may be
affected.
18. In some locations, the monitor will not work properly. If the monitor is affected by external interference in the area, you
may not be able to use the monitor. Contact Circadiance for further assistance. Use of a third (RL) electrode may help
reduce electrical interference.
19. If monitoring two or more infants in the same area, keep the monitors, patient, patient cables and lead wires at least three
(3) feet apart. Having the patient cables and lead wires close together may cause missed apneas due to interference.
20. Do not connect the infant to the SmartMonitor 2 if the monitor is placed in the Communications Mode. The apnea and
heart alarms do not work when the SmartMonitor 2 is in this mode.
21. Do not use the SmartMonitor 2 at the same time as other impedance monitors. This may cause missed apneas due to
interference.
22. Do not rock your baby or sleep in the same bed with your baby while monitoring. Touching or moving near your baby,
monitor, or cables could cause the monitor to miss apneas.
