Important Safeguards

Using System in a Medical Environment

No currently available technology can completely

substitute for the in-person physical examination of an

individual patient. Cisco Telepresence products have

the ability to provide high quality audio/high resolution

video over long distances; and when used properly,

these products can provide tools for physicians and

other medical professionals who are unable to examine

a patient in person. The use and value of the system

will vary depending on the specific circumstances of

the patient’s condition, transmission speed and the

ability of audio/visual technology to be used for remote

evaluations. Ultimately, judgments on how this tool

should be used must be at the individual discretion of

the physician or other medical personnel supervising

the patient’s care.

All the equipment connected to this system shall be

certified according to UL Standard UL60601-1 or other

IEC/ISO/CSA Standards applicable to the equipment.

When this system is used

together with other

equipment in the patient

area*, the equipment shall

be either powered by an

isolation transformer or

connected to the power

outlet that is at the rear of

the cart, unless it is

certified according to UL Standard UL60601-1.

NOTE: The power outlet provided in the system is

powered from an isolation transformer. The maximum

output rating of this outlet is 150 Watts.

CAUTION:

The leakage current could increase when connected to

other equipment.

The operator should take precautions to avoid touching

the rear panel input and output circuitry and the patient

at the same time.

To isolate the system from the mains supply remove

the mains plug from the wall socket.

Warning on Power Connection

Use only with the supplied power cords or cords that

meet local hospital-grade requirements. Users in the

United States and Canada should use hospital-grade

cords that meet the following requirements:

United States Canada

Plug Type Hospital Grade Hospital Grade

Cord Type SJT3 x 18 AWG SJT3 x 18 AWG

Warnings

Not Intended For Dialing Emergency

Medical Services

The VX Clinical Assistant is not intended to make

emergency calls. In the event of an emergency, the

user should use a telephone or device other than the

Cisco Telepresence VX Clinical Assistant™ to call local

emergency services.

Improper Transport Methods

When transporting the mobile cart over an obstacle

greater than 10 mm, it is recommended that 2 people

assist in the transport. The preferred method is to

backing the rear wheels over the threshold and then

rotating such that the front two wheels are not both

elevated off the ground at the same time while the front

of the cart is being tipped over the threshold. There

are handles on the work surface designed for assisting

in moving and will serve as the fixed transport position.

There will be a “Do Not Push” label place on a visible

area of the front of the cart. Label information will be in

the User Guide.

Please refer to the Cisco TelePresence VX Clinical

Assistant ™ (VXCA) Installation and User Guide

under “Operator Safety Summary” and “Important

Safeguards. See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/

products/ps12152/tsd_products_support_series_

home.html.

Loss of Connectivity

During the use of the VX Clinical Assistant, a

healthcare professional may lose connectivity with the

system. Loss of connectivity can result from power

outages, network outages, failure in the VX Clinical

Assistant software/hardware, or other causes. Loss

of connectivity can prevent a health care professional

from completing a patient session in a timely manner.

In cases where time is critical, the user should not

use the VX Clinical Assistant and seek an in-person

examination from a licensed health care professional.

Delay or Choppiness of Audio or Video

Transmission

The VX Clinical Assistant may operate at a delay of up

to 150 milliseconds, depending on network condition.

This means that the provider may experience the

audio and video transmissions later then they are really

occurring. In cases where the remote health care

provider needs to make time sensitive assessments or

give instructions this delay may result in misalignment

of audio and visual transmissions to the real-time

procedure and/or inappropriate treatment or diagnosis.

Proper Training Is Required

Healthcare professionals using the VX Clinical Assistant

should be sufficiently trained and familiar with the

Installation and User Guide and the instructions for

use. Please refer to the Cisco Telepresence VX

Clinical Assistant™ Installation and User Guide (under

“Troubleshooting & Frequently Asked Questions,”

“Safety Precautions” and “Operator Safety Precaution.”

ps11417/tsd_products_support_install_and_

upgrade.html.

Camera May Not Focus

There may be times when the system’s main camera

or a connected peripheral camera does not focus or

loses focus. This problem can result from equipment

malfunction, improper use of the camera, improper

configuration, or other reasons. An improperly

configured or poorly focused camera may reduce the

quality of the image. The camera can be maximized on

the inputs on frame rate and resolution. Please refer

to the Cisco TelePresence System Codec C Series

“Getting Started Guide” at http://www.cisco.com/en/
