POWER REQUIREMENTS The DRC requires one power outlet. The DRC must be used with the AC power supply adapter supplied with the DRC. Using the Y-Splitter cable, the DRC power supply can be used to supply power to the i-STAT Printer (Model Number PR-300), which reduces the number of power outlets required in the downloading and printing area.

CAUTIONS •

The DRC is not intended for use in the patient environment (within 1.5 meters of the physical location of the patient).

•

Users should not connect the DRC to a medical electrical system.

•

Do not place metal objects on or near the exposed gold charging contacts.

•

Be sure to install all cables and power supplies so they do not post a trip hazard. Mount equipment so cables and accessories stay clear of walkways. The AC power supply adapter plug acts as a disconnect device for the DRC, and therefore, the socket outlet must be installed (or located) near the DRC and must be easily accessible.

•

Use only the AC power supply provided with the DRC-300 to power the DRC-300.

•

Only APOC provided printers may be connected to the DRC printer port.

•

If using a Martel Printer, use the power supply that came with the Martel Printer and not the Y-Splitter cable provided with the DRC.

•

A network cable and USB cable may NOT be connected to the DRC at the same time.

•

If using rechargeable batteries to power the handheld, use only rechargeable batteries and recharging equipment supplied by your APOC distributor. Other batteries and rechargers may affect test results and pose other hazards to operators and patients.

•

A falling handheld may cause injury. Always place the handheld and peripherals on a stable surface or in a location where it will not cause injury if dropped.

RUNNING CARTRIDGES IN A HANDHELD DOCKED IN THE DRC All i-STAT Cartridges may be run in handhelds that are docked in the DRC.

DRC AFFECT ON AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE The operating temperature for an i-STAT 1 handheld is 16ºC to 30ºC. The DRC and Rechargeable Battery may raise the temperature of the i-STAT 1 handheld 2ºC-3ºC relative to the ambient temperature if:

TRANSMITTING DATA FROM THE DRC TO THE DATA MANAGER 1. Place handheld in the DRC’s cradle. If properly aligned, the blue proximity light will turn on and a “Waiting to Send” message will be displayed on the handheld until communication is established with the Data Manager. 2. Once the handheld establishes communication with the Data Manager, a “Communication in Progress” message will then appear on the handheld display and the arrows will circle until the transmission is complete.

Note: Do not move handheld until the “Communication in Progress” message disappears.

TRANSMITTED INFORMATION The following information is transmitted from the i-STAT 1 handheld with each test record: •

Date and time the test was performed

•

Operator and Patient ID or Quality Test fluid lot number

•

All information entered by the operator, e.g. lot numbers, sample types, and comment codes

•

Result(s)

•

Serial number of the handheld

•

Uses count on the handheld

•

Application software version in the handheld

•

CLEW standardization software in the handheld

CHARGING BATTERIES BEFORE USE Place a new rechargeable battery in the recharging compartment on the DRC for 40 hours. The battery will then be 100% charged and ready for use. A handheld with disposable batteries may be placed on the DRC to download data until the rechargeable battery is ready.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY LIFE A fully charged battery, if not periodically recharged, will self-discharge in approximately 3 months. Prevent self-discharge of the battery by either: •

Keeping the rechargeable battery in a handheld that is periodically placed on the DRC, or

•

Storing the rechargeable battery separately in the external charging bay on the DRC.
