TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 1-8
I NTRODUCTION
Environmental Considerations
The hospital environment where this product is used could contain environmental conditions that
may affect the product.
Since this is a wireless radio frequency (RF) device, outside interference can come from multiple
sources. Even while operating within the WMTS band in North America, interference and
coexistence issues may occur with other products.
The device shall be sent to a separate collection facility for recovery and recycling.
Refer to the data sheet for the AriaTele Transmitter (96281), P/N 061-2553-xx, for operating and
storage details.
Sources of Interference
Some potential sources of interference are included in the list that follows:
• Monitoring patients in elevators during transport to other units, or outside of the primary unit.
Poor transmission of signals may occur. Use a monitor with a display if elevator transport is
required.
• Monitoring patients off the ward (radiology areas, for example) may result in poor reception due
to antenna placement and wall construction.
If monitoring is necessary, the augmentation of the antenna system may be required.
• Defibrillation of a patient who is wearing the product.
• Implanted or external pacemakers associated with a patient who is wearing the product.
Potential Sources of Damage
• Exposure to bodily fluids or other liquids.
• The product accidentally drops onto hard surfaces, such as flooring or walls, or into sinks
or toilets.
• Exposure to disinfectant and various types of cleaner.
Refer to Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sterilization on page 5-1 for more detailed information.
Accessories
For optimum performance, only use the device with recommended accessories. Refer to the data
sheet AriaTele Transmitter (96281), P/N 061-2553-xx, for transmitter accessories and to the
Spacelabs Healthcare Supplies and Accessories Catalog for a list of suitable electrodes and
supplies from Spacelabs Healthcare.
