4.3 SETTING UP THE RIESTER ri-medic
a.) Safety Precautions
As a clinically trained professional using the Riester ri-medic, your responsibilities include safeguarding your patients, your-
self 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 Riester ri-medic, please review these safety guidelines.
b.) Protecting Your Patient
While your Riester ri-medic 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 Riester ri-medic and your
stethoscope to take a second, Manual mode reading. Arrange the power supply and cabling so that it does not constitute a
hazard to your patient, your co-workers or yourself.
c.) Protecting Yourself
Opening the device can cause electric shocks. Do not attempt to service your Riester ri-medic unless you are authorized.
d.) Protecting Your Riester ri-medic
Do not use your Riester ri-medic around flammable substances.
Use only Riester approved accessories to power your Riester ri-medic.
