If the cable does not comply with these conditions, or has any
other problems that might affect function, do not use the cable.
Contact your Integra representative for a replacement.
The connectors for the extension cable must be properly aligned
with the receptacles on the DirectLink Module before pushing
these parts together. DO NOT twist the connector after pushing it
in part way. Twisting the connector in this manner will damage the
pins and can lead to product malfunction.
Do not immerse the cable in any liquid or allow liquid to enter
the connectors. Do not use the cable if connectors become wet.
Erratic results may occur.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Information
Although the ICP Extension Cable is not itself subject to
electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is connected to a component (ICP
transducer) that is subject to ESD and could be damaged during a
discharge. Please read this important information.
CAUTION: Exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
energy could damage the ICP transducer. High levels
of ESD could damage the electronic components
and cause the transducer to be rendered inaccurate
or inoperable. Take all precautions to reduce the
buildup of electrostatic charge during the use of this
product.
• Provide patient grounding; e.g., grounding straps on gurneys
• Avoid the use of materials that could generate ESD during
patient movement and transport; e.g., nylon transfer boards
with bedding
• Before touching the patient, caretakers should discharge
ESD buildup by touching a grounded metal surface, such as
a bed rail
It is recommended that all hospital personnel in contact with these
devices receive an explanation of the ESD symbol and training
in ESD precautionary procedures. Training should include, at a
minimum, an introduction to electrostatic discharge, when and
why it occurs, precautionary measures, and the damage that can
be done to electronic components if touched by a user who is
electrostatically charged.
• Avoid touching the transducer connector pins before
following ESD precautionary procedures.
• Avoid touching the transducer tip (sensing element) at all
times.
Instructions for Use
Read and follow the manuals packaged with the DirectLink Module
and the ICP sensor before connecting the extension cable.
WARNING: The zeroing steps must be performed before the
sensor is implanted. Zeroing an implanted sensor will result in
incorrect pressure readings.
