Tampering with the AURA
TM
Battery could result in a hazard, such as fire,
explosion or shock.
By design, the AURA™ Monitor and its antenna emit radio frequency in the
13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands. This may interfere with nearby medical or office
equipment. When using the AURA™ Monitor, closely monitor equipment in the
vicinity to verify normal operation.
The presence of other equipment operating in the same frequency bands used by the AURA™ Monitor may interfere with communication. Interference can occur even if the other equipment complies with the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) emission requirements. This RF interference can be reduced by increasing the distance between the interfering device and the AURA™ Monitor. If communication problems persist, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
The use of any accessories with the AURA™ Monitor other than those specified
by Branchpoint Technologies in this manual may result in increased emissions
or decreased immunity of the AURA™ Monitor and may cause decreased functionality or unintended operational behavior of the AURA™ Monitor.
The use of the AURA
TM
Monitor around strong sources of electromagnetism and
electric fields should be avoided.
For disposal of the AURA
TM
Monitor Pack, follow applicable hospital procedures and local regulations or return the product to Branchpoint Technologies. Improper disposal of products may pose biohazards or environmental hazards.
During normal or single fault conditions, the AURA
TM
Antenna may reach a maximum temperature of 43°C. There is a safety cutoff to prevent temperature from exceeding this value and mitigate the likelihood of detrimental clinical effects.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the AURA
TM
ICP Monitoring System or AURA
TM
Battery Charger, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
The Emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required) this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or re­orienting the equipment.

TM
Data Receiver or determines there is a poor Quality of Service, it will automatically disconnect from the AURA
TM
Data Receiver.
Verify there are no potential sources of interference in close proximity to
the AURA™ Monitor or AURA
TM
Data Receiver.
Check the connection of the AURA
TM
Data Receiver to the patient monitor.
After verification, reset the AURA™ Monitor.
POINT MEASUREMENT MODE
In point measurement mode, the patient monitor displays ICP as a series of flat line values (10 to 30 seconds at each consecutive averaged value) instead of an ICP waveform. The point measurement mode allows the ICP monitoring system to operate in a low power state. When in this mode, try re-positioning the AURA
TM
Antenna for better alignment with the AURA
TM
Sensor. The system will automatically transition out of point measurement mode when the issue is resolved.
ALARMS
Table 5 lists all possible alarms that can be displayed to the User based on their significance, LED indicator status, and the audio alarm priority.
If a medium priority and a low priority alarm are active at the same time, the AURA
TM
Monitor will only sound the medium alarm.
If two or more medium alarms are active at the same time, the AURA
TM
Monitor will cycle through all of them and display the alarm text for each alarm as shown in Table 5.
