iv
Precautions for Use of Bidirectional Wireless
Communications (TCON)
CAUTION
■To operate the device correctly, read the following precautions carefully.
The medical institution (hereinafter referred to as “Institution”) must execute
investigation required to prevent interference including types of radio waves,
frequencies, and antenna power if wireless equipment is already installed and
being used in the facility.
Even if this device is installed within the range of radio communication, the
communication may not be possible due to noise or multi-path phasing etc.
Always consider this thoroughly before use.
Do not install this device in an area where it will be subject to splashing water.
Water entering the equipment may cause the equipment to malfunction or be
damaged.
■In managing, be sure to follow the precautions below.
The Institution should appoint a person (hereinafter referred to as the “Overall
Manager”) to manage the wireless devices for the whole facility.
When installing TCON, the Overall Manager has to receive an explanation of
the precautions for use of the TCON from the manufacturer or sales
representative.
The Overall Manager is responsible for the maintenance and storage of the
equipment.
The Overall Manager should create a management log (hereinafter referred to
as the “log”), which contains a list of the management status of the wireless
channels for the whole facility. When assigning or changing wireless channels,
register it in the log, and give proper instructions to the TCON user.
The user needs to verify operation of the transmitter/receiver before use.
If interference or breakdown occurs in the communication, the TCON user is
required to stop using TCON and to inform the Overall Manager of the
problem. The Overall Manager is to deal with the problem properly and/or
contacts the nearest Fukuda Denshi representative for service.
CAUTION
Users are advised to periodically contact the FCC or specified frequency coordinator
and determine if other or your transmitter frequencies that may cause interference.
v
CAUTION
■Precautions for Use
The Bidirectional Wireless Communications Module (TCON) uses radio waves to
transmit data. Therefore, the necessary precautions need to be taken for the
characteristics and difficulties of using the device that emits radio waves. The
TCON user should fully understand these precautions beforehand, and use the
TCON device safely.
Furthermore, situations in which interference may occur are outlined below. In
such cases, pay special attention to the condition of the patient connecting to the
bedside monitor, and eliminate the cause of the interference.
1. The patient’s data may become mixed with a different patient’s data due to
Interference.
When there are multiple TCON communication devices set to the same
channel and group (ID).
2. When symptoms such as being unable to communicate, unstable communication,
or poor reception may occur.
When the radio communication is bad because there are metal, concrete, or
other such obstacles between the Bidirectional Wireless Communications
Modules (TCON).
When a different wireless device is using the same frequency (or the same
channel).
When there are other TCON devices nearby using different channels or
groups.
When a cell telephone or other wireless device is being used nearby.
When citizens broadcast bands such as amateur radio or truck radios are
used in the vicinity of the TCON operating area.
When a computer or word processor, or electrical device that has an internal
computer, is used near the TCON device antenna.
When the TCON device is installed or moved to a location that is outside the
radio communication range.
If a nearby different group is set with a TCON channel frequency that is too
close to the channel frequency set for the current TCON group.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
WARNING
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
controlled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. This equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated
keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body (excluding
extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
Operation of this equipment requires the prior coordination with a frequency
coordinator designated by the FCC for the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service.

1. Overview
This device is a Bidirectional Wireless Communications Module (HTC-702) used for
wirelessly communicating vital signs data monitored by the DS-7000 series patient
monitor. This device can be used in combination with a wireless central monitor such
as the DS-7600 to construct a patient monitoring system with a medical telemetry and
the Bidirectional Wireless Communications (TCON) system.
For details on compatibility with other patient monitors, contact Fukuda Denshi
representative.

■Example Installation of HTC-702 to Central Monitor,
DS-7600
NOTE
The recommended connection procedure for the HTC-702 and DS-7600 is to use
the optional OA-702 and CJ-702 to install the HTC-702 in a high location on a wall
or on the ceiling in the corridor.
However, if the DS-7600 is to be moved during use, install it to the rear side of the
DS-7600. In this case, the TCON communication range is smaller than when
installed on the ceiling or wall.

NOTE
If the TCON is installed in a location that exceeds the TCON communication range
(within 60m) in the TCON system on the previous page, it is possible to use the
system by installing a “TCON Repeater”. Certain installation conditions and
limitations apply to the “TCON Repeater”. For details, contact Fukuda Denshi
representative.
WARNING
Operation of this equipment requires the prior coordination with a frequency
coordinator designated by the FCC for the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service.

5. Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization
Clean, disinfect, and sterilize the module unit and connecting cords as shown below.
■Cleaning
Wipe using gauze or absorbent cotton etc. that has been soaked in alcohol, or a weak
acidic, weak alkaline, or neutral detergent and wrung. At this time, make sure the
chemicals do not enter inside the connectors or main unit.
Furthermore, do not use detergents that include organic solvents, thinners, toluene or
benzine, as these solvents may damage the resin used in the unit.
■Disinfection and Sterilization
If there is a fear of contagion, wipe using gauze or absorbent cotton soaked in
antiseptic soap or alcohol and wrung. At this time, do not soak or wipe inside the
connector using the chemical. Doing so may cause contact failure.
Sterilizing in high-temperature by using gas sterilization or autoclave equipment
will damage this device, and should therefore not be used.
When performing simultaneous disinfection inside the ward or room using
chemical sprays, be sure that the chemicals do not enter the equipment or come
into contact with the connectors.
