portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the EQUIPMENT
The EQUIPMENT is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are
controlled. The customer or the user of the EQUIPMENT can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
EQUIPMENT as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters
(m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum
output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
General Warnings!
A warning alerts you to possible injury. Specific Warnings and cautions appear next to the relevant
instructions in the manual.
Use the NeoPod T only for its intended use as described in this manual.
The NeoPod T controller, and Lava Bed, should only be used with delivery tubes or accessories
recommended by Westmed Inc. Connection of other delivery tubes or accessories could result in patient
injury or damage to the device.
Do not submerge the NeoPod T in water or other liquid as this may cause damage.
Do not use water feed set during transport.
Do not attempt to dismantle the NeoPod T controller. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repairs
and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized service agent.
Do not operate the NeoPod T if it is not working properly or if any part of the device has been damaged.
Keep the cable assembly away from hot surfaces.
Do not pull or allow the NeoPod T to hang freely from the cable assembly.
Explosion hazard – do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics or supplemental gases.
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
Disposal:
The controller is considered waste electrical and electronic equipment per directive 2002/96/EC and should
be recycled as such. For recycling purposes, the controller is RoHS compliant.
All disposable products should be treated as bio-hazardous waste and the control should be treated per the
WEEE directive.
