Caring for Sentinel
Sentinel can be cleaned with the following:
•
A dry cloth
•
A slightly damp cloth
•
Wiped carefully with an 70% or less IPA -based
or antibacterial cleaning wipe
•
A light blast of air to remove any visible dust from the
outlet tube or around the seams of the enclosure
Product Reuse
Sentinel may be re-used with different cushions as needed.
If for example, a cushion is replaced, Sentinel may be
disconnected from the original cushion and attached to a
new cushion.
The device can be reused only if the cushion complies with
the manufacturer's original general safety and performance
requirements.
Every time Sentinel is added to a new cushion, adjustments
must be made to pressure settings. You must follow
installation instructions to install on a new cushion.
CE-marking, tests:
The product conforms to the requirements of the Medical
Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745.
Training Requirements
Sentinel is designed to be easy to use. A clinician capable
of performing a hand check test is necessary to properly
set the air-inflation of the cushion when using Sentinel for
the first time.
Technical Data Configurations:
•
Sentinel comes with a hose length of at minimum
30cm ( ~12''). The user or clinician is instructed to cut
hose length.
•
Sentinel is provided with a default pressure value that
must be modified by the clinician or end user.
•
A clip can be provided upon request to attach
Sentinel to a mounting point or strap.
Lifting Points
•
Sentinel should not be handled by the hose. Always
pick up Sentinel by the main body of the device.
Accessories
•
Sentinel comes with a clip that can be used to attach
the device to a cushion.
Pre-Sales Information
Prior to ordering Sentinel it is important to verify the
cushion intended for use is compatible with the device.
Reference the cushion compatibility section of the user
instructions for verification.
Safety Measures
User:
•
Sentinel can maintain the pressure set by the user
or clinician. The device is capable of adjusting this
pressure over time as the user's weight changes or
ambient conditions fluctuate. Sentinel cannot augment
or replace routine pressure offloads, and failure to do
these offloads may increase risk of pressure injury.
Caregiver:
•
Sentinel cannot determine the correct pressure for a
given individual on their cushion. Rather, Sentinel
provides a range of pressures the caregiver or
clinician can select and verify using hand check or
similar methods. Never assume Sentinel has been
properly set up upon first installation. Two-finger
palpation must be performed to verify the correct
pressure is set.
Environment:
Sentinel does not require the user to calibrate the internal
pressure sensor of the device.
Sentinel cannot be used in extreme temperatures or used in
harsh outdoor conditions.
Do not expose Sentinel to heavy rain or splashes of water. If
the device is not used for a significant period of time it must
be stored at room temperature in a dry environment. Avoid
using Sentinel in a dusty environment.
Do not use Sentinel at elevations above 10,000 ft. / 3,048
meters. Sentinel will work in pressurized environments such as
an aircraft, pressurized to 6,000 ft/ 1,829 meters.
Transport, Storage and Disposal
Transport:
Sentinel is compliant with UN 38.3 Air Transport regulations.
Regulations differ by country. Please consult with your local
regulatory authorities for specific information.
Storage:
Sentinel should be stored at room temperatures (~25C /
~77F) and humidity lower than 75%.
Disposal:
•
Remove charging cable if attached to Sentinel prior to
preparing for disposal.
•
Fully discharge battery, verify this by confirming
pressing either of the Sentinel buttons results in no
lights turning on.
A fully-discharged battery is less susceptible to
▪
a thermal event.
•
Dispose of Sentinel through electronic waste disposal
facilities in accordance with local environmental
regulations. Kalogon complies with WEEE
2012/19/EU
Troubleshooting
If the unit is pumping often the hose may not be correctly
installed. Check your connections.
If repeated "cushion airway blocked" notifications occur when
the cushion valve is open, the hose length of the unit may be too
long and should be shortened as per instructions.
Refer to online resources available at www.kalogon.com or
contact your Etac sales representative for more information.
