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 general 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.

Product Safety Information

Safety Guidelines

The MC² Power System Series™ is designed to ensure both the highest level of product

quality and safety for the user. To maintain both quality and safety, follow the guidelines

and instructions in this manual.

• Use the power system only as intended.

• Do not place the power system near a window. Exposing the power system to rain,

water, moisture, or constant, direct sunlight can severely damage it.

• To maintain your warranty, refer all servicing to Stinger Medical qualified personnel.

The MC² Power System has no user-serviceable, internal parts.

• Do not cover or obstruct any venting holes on the power system.

• Store the power system within 10 to 30 degrees Celsius (50 to 86 degrees

Fahrenheit). Storing the system outside the temperature range could result in

permanent damage.

• Use and maintain the cord set provided with the unit.

• If any cord or cable is frayed or damaged, replace it immediately with another of the

same type and rating as supplied by Stinger Medical.

• To clean the exterior of the power system, follow the UL 60601-1 standard for use in

a hospital environment. See “

Cleaning Procedures” for more information.

• Before cleaning the 26 Amp-Hour unit, disconnect the electronic and power

enclosures from their power sources.

• Before cleaning the 35 Amp-Hour unit, disconnect the electronic enclosure from its

power source.

Symbol Description

THIS SYMBOL ALERTS OF AN IMPENDING DANGER. Failure to follow

instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to the unit.

USE A NONFLAMMABLE CLEANER WHEN CLEANING THE UNIT! Failure

to do so can result in death, explosion, and/or fire.

DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED AROUND CHILDREN! Failure to

do so can result in injury, and/or death.

CAUTION: THE POWER SYSTEM IS HEAVY. You must use proper lifting

techniques. Failure to do so can result in injury.

AVOID USING AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THE UNIT! If an extension

cord must be used, ensure it is rated for the power capacity of the unit.

THIS SYMBOL ALERTS OF IMPENDING ELECTRICAL HAZARD. Failure to

follow instructions could result in personal injury, fire and/or death.

DO NOT OPEN THE POWER SYSTEM! Unauthorized personnel opening the

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 radio

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

Obtaining Optimum Performance

• Plug your MC² Power System into an AC power source (wall outlet) for charging

whenever not in use or unattended.

• Stinger Medical recommends establishing a protocol for end users requiring the

power system be plugged into and AC power source whenever not in use or

unattended.

• Perform regular preventative maintenance. Failure to do so will void warranty.

• Limit current output to 4 amps per channel.

• Do not open power system enclosure – there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Opening enclosure will void product warranty.
