battery is completely inserted and the battery door is completely closed.
Falling batteries could seriously or fatally injure neonatal or other
vulnerable patients.
WARNING PHYSICAL INJURY — Do not install the PDM above a patient. Leaks from the
battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. The liquid is caustic to the
eyes and skin. If the liquid comes in contact with eyes or skin, flush with
clean water and seek medical attention.
WARNING To avoid accidental ingress of liquids, do not tilt the PDM in any direction or
mount the PDM in a vertical position with the patient cables facing up or
down.
Mounting options include mounting to a bed headboard or footboard, an IV pole, or a roll stand
using one of the docking stations. Mounting kits include all necessary hardware and
installation instructions. Ensure that the selected PDM mount is properly installed according to
the installation instructions.
NOTE: When the PDM is used without a battery, it is necessary to allow additional time to power
up. Do not interrupt the startup sequence by unplugging the PDM.
1. Connect the PDM module to installed mounting hardware as instructed in the
accompanying installation instructions.
2. Connect one end of the ePort cable to the PDM and the other end of the ePort cable to the
