SETTING UP THE ADVIEW
Safety Precautions
As a clinically trained professional using the ADview, your responsibilities include safeguarding your
patients, yourself and your equipment. Many setup functions will be performed either only once or very
occasionally, and it is important that you pay close attention. Before you set up your ADview, please review
these safety guidelines.
Protecting Your Patient
• While your ADview is designed for accurate, reliable vital signs measurement for adults and
children, it is not to be used on patients connected to cardiopulmonary bypass machines, patients
needing continuous monitoring, or patients under three years of age.
• If you feel that a particular blood pressure reading is questionable, use the ADview and your
stethoscope to take a second, Sphygmode reading. If you would like confirmation for an SpO
2
or
temperature reading, please use an alternate device. After taking confirmatory readings, check the
device for proper functioning.
• Arrange the power supply and cabling so that it does not constitute a hazard to your patient, your
co-workers or yourself.
Protecting Yourself
• Removing the cover or the back of the device can cause electric shocks. Do not attempt to service
your ADview unless you are authorized.
Protecting Your ADview
• Do not use your ADview around flammable substances.
• Use only ADC approved accessories to power your ADview. A listing of these is in the Appendix
on page 58.
• Use only those batteries supplied by ADC or an authorized service representative.
• The ADview must be placed on a stable, slip proof surface. Only recommended hardware should
be used to mount your device to a wall, pole or tabletop carrier.
• At no point should the contents of the storage basket exceed 5 lbs. in weight.
• Do not immerse the device in water or attempt to gas sterilize or autoclave it.
• The reliability of your ADview depends upon conformance with the operation and service
instructions as detailed in this manual.
Mounting Your Device
For convenience, you may mount your unit on the wall or attach it to a mobile stand or a tabletop stand. A
storage basket is included and can be used to hold cuffs, boxes of probe covers for the optional temperature
module, and SpO
2
sensors for the optional pulse oximetry module. All compatible accessories for mounting
your ADview can be found in the list starting on page 58. All versions of the ADview can be mounted in the
following ways:
