MC2 Power Systems User's Guide Intended Use
Intended Use
The Stinger Medical workstations and power systems are intended for the continuous
non-invasive logging of patient data in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, and intra-hospital
transport.
Note:
Hospital use typically covers such areas as ge neral care floors, operating rooms,
special procedure areas, intensive and critical care areas within the hospital-type
facilities. Hospital-type facilities include physician office-based facilities, sleep labs,
skilled nursing facilities, surgical centers, and sub-acute centers.
Intra-hospital transport includes transport of patient within the hospital or hospital-type
facility.
Medical and non-medical apparatus such as vital signs monitors, computers, LCD
monitors and bar-code scanners may be supplied by Stinger Medical or may be
configured locally. The collateral standard for medical electrical systems, IEC 60601-1-1
Second Edition 2000-I2, provides requirements for integrating ITE, such as a printer or
monitor, with medical equipment.
Information in this document has been carefully checked for accuracy; however, no
guarantee is given to the correctness of its contents. This document is subject to change
without notice. Stinger Medical provides this information as reference only.

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Information
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical
Equipment. This equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked is necessary, this and other equipment should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate ra dio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio, television or Medical Electrical Equipment
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference using one or more of the following
measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; increase the separation between
the equipment and the receiver; connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that which the receiver is connected; consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for help. The user must use shielded cables and connectors
with this product. Any changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. MC
