Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Unplug ST710 from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions.

• In case any abnormality such as smoke, smell or unusual noise are found.• If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the ST710.• If power socket or cord is extremely hot.• If ST71 O has been dronned, or the enclosure damaged.

Intended Use

The SENSATEC ST710 fall monitor, monitors a bed,

chair, or room for occupancy. When mounted on a

bed, chair, or wheelchair, the monitor alarm sounds

to alert personnel to the risk of a fall with a local

alarm when a patient/resident is attempting to exit the

bed, chair, wheelchair, or room without assistance.

When you hear the alarm, check the patient/resident

immediately.

Contraindications

SENSATEC monitors are not a substitute for

proper nursing care. The effectiveness of the

SENSATEC system relies entirely on an

immediate response by the caregiver to the

monitor's alarm.

Potential Electromagnetic or Other Interference

Take precautions to ensure that the system is

protected from electromagnetic interference.

Precautions include:

• Operate the system at least 15 feet away

from motors, typewriters, elevators, and

other sources of strong electromagnetic

radiation.

• Operation in an enclosed area (wood,

plaster or concrete walls, floors and

ceilings) help prevent electromagnetic

interference.

• Special shielding may be required if the

console is to be operated in the vicinity

of Radio broadcast equipment.

• This medical equipment is approved, in

terms of the prevention of radio wave

interference, to be used in hospitals,

clinics and other institutions which are

environmentally qualified. The use of this

equipment in an inappropriate environment

may cause electronic interference. This

equipment can be used in residential areas

only.
