Network Safety Considerations
When operating the monitor in a wireless network, please observe
the following:
! Before using the wireless monitoring equipment, read the
instructions and safety warnings supplied by the wireless
equipment manufacturer.
! While the unit is transmitting or receiving signals, do not
hold the transmitting/receiving unit close to exposed body
parts, especially the face or eyes. The antenna/wireless card
should be at least 2" (5 cm) away from the body.
! Operation of the wireless network relies on uninterrupted sig-
nal transmission between the transmitting and receiving com-
ponents of the network. When using the wireless network, be
aware that
-- certain structural limitations within the hospital building
may interfere with signal transmission,
-- other devices emitting radio frequencies, such as leaky
microwave ovens or warmers, may interfere with signal
transmission,
-- the frequencies emitted by the device may interfere with
the operation of other wireless operated medical equip-
ment.
! The installation of wireless equipment must be performed by
qualified Service technicians. Any changes or modifications
to the equipment not expressly approved by the equipment
manufacturer may result in equipment malfunction or dam-
age.
! In order to isolate the Dräger wireless Infinity network from
other 802.11b operators within the hospital, the SSID of each
set of access points has to be unique. Access points are not
considered medical equipment and should be kept out of the
patient’s vicinity. For further information, consult the manu-
facturer’s documentation or the Dräger publication
“Infinity
Network Planning, Design, and Installation Handbook--
Wireless Extensions Supplement.
