2.6 Built-in Battery


Portable patient monitor is equipped with a
rechargeable battery. The battery will be
automatically recharged when the monitor
connects to the AC INPUT. When the battery is
completely discharged, it takes about 16 hours
to charge it again.
When the AC INPUT is plugged in, turning the
system on or off doesn’t have any effect on the
process of charging the battery. If the battery is
completely charged, the system can work
about 45 minutes without connecting to the AC
INPUT.
A symbol " " is displayed on the Header
Area of the screen to indicate the status of
recharging, in which the yellow part represents
the remaining battery charge. This symbol is
only displayed when the AC INPUT is not
plugged in. If the AC INPUT is plugged in, the
status of charging battery will be shown by
battery indicator at the right side of screen.
When the battery indicator is completely green,
the battery if full charged and when it is
orange, means that the battery is being
charged.
The battery doesn’t charge when the system
connects to the DC INPUT (ambulance
electricity).
The fuse on the rear panel protects the battery
while charging the battery or when the system
is not connected to AC INPUT.
When the fuse is damaged, the system can not
work with battery and if the AC INPUT is
plugged in, the battery indicator will be always
green.
Warning
When you store the system for a long time or
the system is used for the first time, you should
first place the fuse on the rear panel of monitor
and then connect it to the AC INPUT for about
24 hours. During this time you must not use
the patient monitor without AC INPUT.
Warning
The monitor will shut down automatically if the
battery power is low. When the electric energy
is going out, the monitor will sound beeping
and display "BATTERY LOW" in the Header
Area. Connecting the monitor to the AC power
at this moment can recharge the battery while
operating. If you keep on using the battery, the
monitor will shut down automatically.

9.4 TEMP Sensor Cleaning And to avoid damaging internal wires.
Storage
To clean the temp sensor, first remove it from
the patient and disconnect it from the monitor.
NOTE:
Reusable temperature probes are sold non-
sterile.
■ Cleaning
Probe should be cleaned of bioburden prior
to disinfection or sterilization to improve the
effectiveness (as recommended in
ANSI/AAMI ST35: Good Hospital Practice:
Handling and Biological Decontamination of
Reusable Medical Device, 1991)
When wiping clean, hold the probe in one
hand at the sensing tip and wipe the probe
and lead wire toward the plug. Excessive
pressure could stretch the cable jacket and
break the internal wires, destroying the
probe .Continued flexing of lead wires in use
and cleaning can also break the internal
wire.
Avoid contact with strong, aromatic,
chlorinate, ketone, ether or ester solvents.
Prolonged immersion in alcohols or mild
organic solvents, detergent solutions or
highly alkaline solutions will cause the vinyl
to lose flexibility. The probe plugs should not
be immersed.
■ Sterilization
Ethylene oxide is the preferred sterilization
method. After sterilization, probes must be
safely and thoroughly ventilated before
handling or use. Using a generic EtO
sterilizing procedure, YSI recommends an
aeration time of 12 hours minimum to

21 Warranty

Warranty declaration by HEYER Medical AG


In addition to the legal warranty acc. to HBG §377, HEYER MEDICAL AG shall grant a warranty of 12
months for the purchase of a new apparatus from the HEYER product range. The warranty period
begins with the date of invoice and is subject to the following conditions:

1. Within the warranty period we will eliminate free of charge any defects or damages on the device that are shown to be
caused by a manufacturing or material error. The warranty does not include easily breakable parts, e.g. glass or
consumable parts.

2. Warranty services can only claimed upon submission of a delivery note (bill of delivery or invoice); the type and method
of damage remedy (repair or replacement) shall be at the discretion of HEYER MEDICAL AG. Warranty services do not
result in an extension of the warranty period, nor do they entail a new warranty being granted. There is no independent
warranty period for installed spare parts.

3. Excluded from the warranty are: Damages caused by improper use, operating errors, mechanical stress or non-
observance of the operating instructions, as well as damages caused by force majeure or by extraordinary
environmental conditions.

4. Warranty services may only be claimed if proof is submitted to confirm that all service and maintenance work has been
carried out by authorized staff.

5. The warranty includes all faults that impair a faultless functioning of the device on the basis of technical defects of
individual components. The warranty obligation can only be recognized by us if the device has been used properly and
according to its intended use and no repair attempts have been undertaken by the client himself or by third parties. The
warranty claim does not include faults caused by mechanical damages or if the device is being operated with
accessories originating from third parties.

6. The warranty is also void if changes, alterations or repairs are made to the device by persons not authorized to do this.

7. The warranty claim only applies to customers of HEYER MEDICAL AG; it cannot be transferred to third parties.

8. The rejected device is to be shipped back to our plant postage free. In case of a request by our customer service
department, the costs for shipping to the plant are to be initially generally borne by the customer. After successful repair,
we will send the device back freight collect. If HEYER MEDICAL AG confirms the existence of a warranty claim, the
customer will receive reimbursement for the costs of delivery and/or transport of the apparatus. Repair parts that do not
fall under the warranty claim will be billed by us. The shipping of the device to us always counts as a complete
assignment to eliminate all faults and/or replace missing parts, unless the customer expressly excludes partial services.
Additional claims to transfer or reduce and replace damages of any kind in particular also of damages not incurred on
the object of delivery itself are excluded.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
field strength in the location in which the VizOR is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the VizOR should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may necessary, such as reorienting
or relocating the VizOR.
b
Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between


Portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the VizOR
The VizOR Patient Care Monitor is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the VizOR can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the VizOR as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
