■ Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) are
connected.
■ Consult the manufacturer for help.
■ In order to connect wirelessly to a compatible interface system like Patient SafetyNet™, the Rad-87
should be placed in an environment free from RF shielding, which could hinder wireless reception.
■ To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits RF transmissions should not be
in close proximity to the Rad-87.
■ Changes or modifications to the wireless radio feature whether intentional or unintentional are
prohibited without written approval from Masimo Corporation.
■ The Rad-87 (instrument with optional radio) wirelessly transmits real-time sensor connectivity status,
indicating a connect and/or disconnect state. If the instrument is in a failure mode then the radio power
is disabled and an error message is indicated on the instrument display. The instrument does not have a
powered state where no information is transmitted.
■ In accordance with FCC requirements, the Rad-87 (instrument with optional radio) must be placed
greater than 20 cm from the patient or nearby persons.
■ In accordance with FCC requirements, radio accessories on the Rad-87 (instrument with optional radio)
cannot be attached directly to the patient using any accessory containing metal components.
■ In accordance with international telecommunication requirements, the frequency band of 5,150 MHz
to 5,250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile
satellite systems.
■ The battery should be adequately charged to ensure backup power in case of AC power disruption.
■ A functional tester cannot be utilized to assess the accuracy of the Pulse CO-Oximeter or any sensors.
■ To ensure safety, avoid stacking multiple devices or placing anything on the instrument during operation.
■ Ensure the speaker is not covered or the instrument is placed face-down on bedding or other sound
absorbing surface.
■ To protect against injury from electric shock, follow the directions below:
■ Avoid placing the instrument on surfaces with visible liquid spills.
■ Do not soak or immerse the instrument in liquids.
■ Always turn off and disconnect the power cord from the AC power supply before cleaning the
device.
■ Use cleaning solutions sparingly.
