Important Safeguards

Using System in a Medical Environment

No currently available technology can completely
substitute for the in-person physical examination of an
individual patient. Cisco Telepresence products have
the ability to provide high quality audio/high resolution
video over long distances; and when used properly,
these products can provide tools for physicians and
other medical professionals who are unable to examine
a patient in person. The use and value of the system
will vary depending on the specific circumstances of
the patient's condition, transmission speed and the
ability of audio/visual technology to be used for remote
evaluations. Ultimately, judgments on how this tool
should be used must be at the individual discretion of
the physician or other medical personnel supervising
the patient's care.
All the equipment connected to this system shall be
certified according to UL Standard UL60601-1 or other
IEC/ISO/CSA Standards applicable to the equipment.
When this system is used
together with other
equipment in the patient
area*, the equipment shall
be either powered by an
isolation transformer or
connected to the power
outlet that is at the rear of
[ PATIENT AREA ]
the cart, unless it is
certified according to UL Standard UL60601-1.
NOTE: The power outlet provided in the system is
powered from an isolation transformer. The maximum
output rating of this outlet is 150 Watts.

CAUTION:
The leakage current could increase when connected to
other equipment.
The operator should take precautions to avoid touching
the rear panel input and output circuitry and the patient
at the same time.
To isolate the system from the mains supply remove
the mains plug from the wall socket.
Warning on Power Connection
Use only with the supplied power cords or cords that
meet local hospital-grade requirements. Users in the
United States and Canada should use hospital-grade
cords that meet the following requirements:

Wireless Access Point Compliance

Any customer-supplied Wireless Access Point used
with the VX Clinical Assistant must comply with
appropriate regulations in the country of use.

ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD)

When subjected to an electrostatic discharge the
12x system camera image may suffer momentary
interruption - this will self-recover in a few seconds
after the discharge.
To avoid excess electrostatic discharge, floors
should be wood, concrete or ceramic tile. If floors are
covered with synthetic material, the relative humidity
should be at least 30%

Battery Maintenance

To insure maximum longevity of the battery, the VX
Clinical Assistant should periodically be operated on
battery power until the "Low Battery " warning comes
on. Once the warning sounds the system should be
reconnected to an AC power source until the battery is
fully charged.
