RECOVER BP IABP/VAD System – Operator’s Manual 1.5
Cautions
NOTE: A caution indicates a situation in which equipment may
malfunction, be damaged, or cease to operate.
• The RECOVER BP Console must be plugged into AC power to
maintain a charged battery.
• To remove all AC power from the Console, unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet.
• Be sure to route the power cord and all cables, including the
keypad/display extension cable, in a manner which prevents
tripping hazards and equipment damage.
• Do NOT lean or place any objects on the Console keypad or on
the screen.
• Do NOT pour liquid, including cleaning solution, directly on any
part of the Console. Doing so can cause electrical malfunction.
If liquid is accidentally spilled on the Console, be sure to
thoroughly dry the affected area. Wait at least 15 minutes, after
drying, before turning the Console ON. Verify that the Self-Test
runs and indicates that the unit is operating properly.
• Minimize exposure of RECOVER BP System components to
sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Exposure to
sources of EMI, such as cell phones and two-way radios, may
cause operational interference. To clear interference, either
increase the distance between RECOVER BP System
components and the EMI source or turn off the EMI source.
• Operation of RECOVER BP System components may interfere
with the operation of other devices. If interference occurs,
increase the distance between the device and RECOVER BP
System components.
• Avoid activities that may build up static charges on the Console
or on personnel contacting the Console. Avoid brushing bed
sheets across the Console or touching the Console immediately
after performing activities likely to build static charge. If
electrostatic discharge interrupts operation of the Console, cycle
the Power ON/OFF switch.
