Do not share the bed with another person or pet during EarlySense System

recording session. Sharing the bed could affect the effectiveness of the system

and the accuracy of the measurements.

Avoid using heating blankets. Use of heating blankets could affect the safety or

effectiveness of the EarlySense System and void the System's warranty.

Do not use the EarlySense System for patients who weigh more than 200 kg (440

Pounds). Usage of the System for such patients might result in malfunction of the

Sensing Unit.

The patient should not have a direct contact with the Sensing Unit. A mattress,

mattress pad or mattress cover should be always placed as a barrier between the

Sensing Unit of the EarlySense System and the patient. Patients should be

frequently checked to insure direct contact does not occur.

Careful oversight should be provided when the EarlySense System is used with

children.

As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables and connections to reduce

the possibility of tripping, entanglement or strangulation.

Do not create sharp bends in the cable, as this may tear or break the shielding.

Warning

The EarlySense System is not intended for monitoring high risk
situations where ECG monitoring is required. The most reliable
method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance
with correct operation of the monitoring equipment.
