A mobile monitor is not intended to replace clinical assessments. It is important that a qualified individual
regularly supervise the patient.
The S4 is restricted to use on one patient at a time.
Power Supply Warnings
Only use the recommended batteries. Use of alternate batteries may damage the device or cause other hazards.
Only charge Mortara Rechargeable Battery (Mortara Re-Order Number 4800-018) in the Mortara Li-Ion
Battery Charger. Attempting to charge unauthorized batteries may result in damage to the unauthorized battery
and/or the Li-Ion Battery Charger.
The S4 is a battery operated device that transmits data reflecting a patient’s physiological condition to a
receiving device. During operation failure, data transmission and LCD information will cease to occur. In the
case of battery depletion, replace the batteries on the device to resume monitoring. In mission critical
conditions, it is advisable to have a backup device available.
Only use the Mortara-provided external battery charger and adapter with the S4. Ensure that the electrical
installation also complies with local safety requirements for the environment where it is used.
Regularly check all cables for damage and proper connection. Do not use equipment with a damaged cable.
The S4 contains an internal battery. The following precautions should be taken regarding the internal battery:
oDo not immerse in water.
oDo not heat or throw in fire.
oDo not leave in conditions over 60 ºC.
oDo not crush or drop.
oOnly use the approved batteries.
oFollow the instructions in the disposal section of this manual when taken out of service.

USER SAFETY INFORMATION

The S4 rechargeable battery must be initially fully charged prior to use.
When the S4 initially powers on, the screen will illuminate if the batteries are installed properly and charged.
Remove the S4 from service and contact Mortara if the screen does not activate when new or fully charged
batteries are initially installed.
AA batteries are known to leak their contents when stored for an extended period of time in unused equipment.
Always remove the batteries after completing operating the mobile monitor. Always place rechargeable
batteries in the battery charger when not in use. This ensures that the batteries are recharged for the next time
the mobile monitor is operated.
There is a potential pinch hazard when applying the battery compartment cover to the device that could result in
minor injury. Care should be taken to avoid entrapment of fingers when performing this operation.
Accessories, Cables, and External Connections Warnings
The S4 is designed to meet applicable specifications when using Mortara-approved patient cables and
accessories. Use of non-approved cables and accessories may result in reduced performance or electromagnetic
interference, and may pose possible patient and user safety concerns.
Do not use excessive force on any of the connection cables and handle all accessories with care.
Conductive parts of the ECG patient cables, electrodes, and associated connections of type CF applied parts,
including the neutral conductor of the patient cable and electrode should not come into contact with other
conductive parts including earth ground.
To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death during patient defibrillation, do not come into contact with
mobile monitor or patient cables.
Accessories may be provided with separate user manuals. Read these manuals thoroughly and refer to them for
specific functions. It is recommended to keep all manuals together.
To avoid potential for spread of disease or infection, single-use components and accessories (e.g., electrodes,
pouches, etc.) must not be reused. To maintain safety and effectiveness, ECG electrodes and sensors must not
be used beyond their expiration date or useful life.
All accessories including cables, connectors and other patient-applied parts supplied with the S4 do NOT
contain any Latex. If the patient develops an allergic reaction or rash, immediately remove the accessory and
inform Mortara.
Defibrillation and Electrosurgery Warnings
The S4 has not been designed for use together with electrosurgery equipment.
The S4 is defibrillator protected in compliance with IEC 60601-2-25 and/or IEC 60601-2-27 standards if used
with Mortara-approved patient cables. Defibrillation while using non-approved patient cables may damage the
device beyond repair and cause a safety hazard to the patient.
ECG Warnings
Excessive patient movement could interfere with the operation of the system.
Proper clinical procedure must be employed to prep the electrode and sensor sites, and to monitor the patient for
excessive skin irritation, inflammation, or other adverse reactions. Electrodes and other sensors that are
intended for short-term use should be removed from the patient promptly following use.

USER SAFETY INFORMATION
8
12-lead ECGs acquired through the S4 with 10-wire cable will normally use a modified lead system with the
limb electrodes positioned on the torso. Although this is a generally accepted practice (e.g., in stress testing),
the different electrode positions can cause morphology changes on the ECG, thus influencing their
interpretation. Most frequently seen differences are a vertical and rightward axis shift, minor changes of
evidence of old inferior infarction and changes in the T-wave in the limb leads. It is recommended that you
place the electrodes as close as possible to the normal limb positions avoiding the possibility of causing artifact.
The right arm and left arm electrodes should be placed on the clavicles as close as possible to the arms. The left
leg electrode should be placed as close as possible to the left leg without subjecting it to the possibility of
motion artifact.
During periods of lead fail and when a reduced lead set is used for the S4, 12-lead ECG interpretation cannot be
reliably used in determining a diagnosis.
When using the 3-wire or 5-wire ECG cables, it is not possible to acquire a 12-lead ECG with the S4.
Cautions
This device must be installed as part of a system in conjunction with the Surveyor Central Station and in
accordance to guidance and minimum characteristics per requirements provided by Mortara for deployment of
the system on the hospital/clinic’s IT network. Refer to those requirements as well as Manufacturer Disclosure
Statement for Medical Device Security (MDS2) statements provided by Mortara before deploying and using the
system.
The device and patient cable should be cleaned between each use. Cleaning must be performed with the system
turned off and battery removed. Let all parts dry well before turning the power back on.
Prevent liquids from penetrating the system, components, or the monitor. Do not spray the system with liquid
cleaning agents. Do not allow the system, components or accessories to become in contact with unknown
substances which may compromise its mechanical or electrical integrity. If liquids have penetrated the system,
open by authorized personnel for inspection and let dry completely.
Do not attempt to clean the mobile monitor or patient cables by submersing into a liquid, autoclaving, or steam
cleaning as this may damage equipment or reduce its usable life. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a warm water
and mild detergent solution and then dry with a clean cloth. Use of unspecified cleaning/disinfecting agents,
failure to follow recommended procedures, or contact with unspecified materials could result in increased risk
of harm to users, patients and bystanders, or damage to the mobile monitor.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Screw removal by authorized service personnel only. Damaged or suspected
inoperative equipment must be immediately removed from use and must be checked/repaired by authorized
service personnel prior to continued use.
The S4 accommodates single-use or rechargeable internal batteries. If the rechargeable battery appears to
