Deploying the Capsule Neuron
In typical deployments of the Capsule Neuron, you can mount it on the wall, or mount it on a roll
stand or other mobile configuration.
English
Note: For compliance with EN/IEC 60601-1, the Capsule Neuron is not classified as a portable device.
Instead, the Capsule Neuron must be deployed as one of:
- Mobile device
- Fixed device
Precautions for all deployments
Caution:
• Do not place the Capsule Neuron inside furniture or inside any enclosed space. This could
prevent correct cooling of the device and interfere with radio communications.
• Operate the Capsule Neuron only within these environmental conditions:
- Temperature: +10°C to +40°C (+32°F to °+104°F)
- Atmospheric pressure: Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
- Altitude: -100 meters to +2000 meters (-328 feet to +6560 feet)
- Humidity: 10% to 95% RH non-condensing
• Do not stack the Capsule Neuron or place it next to other equipment. If you do, then check it for
normal operation running its usual configuration.
• In semi-private rooms, connectors must be placed or labeled so that they clearly indicate the bed
for which they collect data.
Considerations for wall-mounted deployments
When you are deciding where to place the Capsule Neuron at the point of care, Capsule
recommends that you take account of the following considerations.
• Mount the Capsule Neuron near the head of the bed or on the head wall in the patient room.
• To allow clinicians easy access to the Capsule Neuron touch screen, mount the Capsule Neuron no
more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) or less than 1 meter (3 feet, 3 inches) from the ground.
• If there are medical devices connected to the ports on the Capsule Neuron, position the Capsule
Neuron on the same side of the bed as those devices.
• Make sure that you take account of the length of the cables required to connect the Capsule
Neuron and the medical devices.
Mounting the Capsule Neuron on the wall
Caution: For Capsule Neurons that are installed above the patient, take adequate precautions to
prevent them from falling on the patient.
Attach the Capsule Neuron to your selected VESA 75/100 wall-mounted solution. Refer to the
instructions from the solution manufacturer.
Setting up the Capsule Neuron [Chapter 2]
13
Mounting the Capsule Neuron on a roll stand
1. Mount the Capsule Neuron to the roll stand. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the roll
stand as required.
English
2. To fix the device to the mounting bracket, use the four screws and washers that are delivered
with your Capsule Neuron, or the screws delivered with your roll stand pole extension.
Connecting the Capsule Neuron to the power supply
Once deployed, on a wall or roll stand for example, you can connect the Capsule Neuron to the
power supply.
Power requirements
The Capsule Neuron is designed to use the IEC 60601-1-compliant, external DC power supply and
power cables that are provided with the Capsule Neuron. For precise information, refer to the
Technical Information in chapter 5 of this document.
Cautions:
• Always use the hospital-grade, AC power cable delivered with the product to connect the
Capsule Neuron to an AC power source. Do not, under any circumstances, use any other cable
than the one provided, even to provide extra cable length. The use of any other cable can result
in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device with regards to electromagnetic
interference.
• Do not connect the Capsule Neuron to an AC outlet that is controlled with a switch or dimmer.
• Do not, under any circumstances, remove the grounding conductor from the power plug.
• Do not use extension cords or adapters of any type.
• The power cable, supply, and plug must remain intact and undamaged.
• The power plug must remain accessible to unplug the device from the power supply mains if
necessary.
14
Setting up the Capsule Neuron [Chapter 2]
Connecting the Capsule Neuron to the power supply
1. The power brick that was shipped with your Capsule Neuron has a power cable on one end, and
an open plug on the other end. Plug that power cable into the Capsule Neuron at the DC-in
power connector (as illustrated).
English
2. Tighten the locking mechanism on
the DC-in power connector to lock
the power plug in place.
3. Plug the power cable that was
shipped with your Capsule Neuron
into the open plug on the power
brick.
4. Plug the other end of that power
cable into a grounded electrical
outlet (generally 3-prongs). The
Capsule Neuron switches on
automatically.
Caution: For safety, cables are designed to prevent inadvertent disconnection if someone
accidentally pulls on them. However, make sure that you route cables so that they do not
present a tripping hazard.
Warning:
You must only connect the Capsule Neuron’s power brick to an appropriate power
source. To avoid risk of electric shock, use a grounded (3-prong) electrical power outlet.
Before you use the Capsule Neuron for the first time
For all deployments, before you use the Capsule Neuron for the first time, you must completely
charge its battery.
1. Set up the Capsule Neuron as described in this chapter:
• install the main battery
• install the extended battery, if you use one
• connect the Capsule Neuron to the electrical mains
2. The battery/ies start to charge as soon as you plug the Capsule Neuron into the electrical
mains. Allow the main battery to charge for about two hours.
If you have installed both the main battery and the optional extended battery, allow the two
batteries to charge for about six hours.
