2.1 General safety instructions
Correct and safe operation of EIZO devices assume professional transport, storage, installa-
tion, and connection, as well as careful operation and service.
The devices may only be used for applications for which they are intended.
For safety reasons, the following precautions must be observed:
DANGER
Please observe all warning information present on the device and in the instructions for use.
There is a danger to life if warnings are not obeyed. Severe personal injury or damage to property
may occur.
Observe the safety requirements of EN 60601-1 (IEC 60601-1)
To prevent injury to patients and users, connect the electrical system in accordance with the safety
requirements of EN 60601‑1 (IEC 60601‑1) for "Safety requirements for medical electrical systems".
Connecting the protective earth conductor
If the device is connected to line power, the device must be connected to a protective ground con-
ductor. This is the only way to ensure that the touch leakage current in a first fault event does not ex-
ceed 500 µA.
The interruption of the device's protective conductor is considered a first fault event in accordance
with EN 60601-1.
Use the following measures to ensure that the leakage currents remain below the specified limits:
• Separators for signal input unit or signal output unit
• Use of a safety isolating transformer
• Use of the additional protective ground terminal
Mounting of the monitor: The monitor's suspension arm must have its own protective ground conduc-
tor. This protective ground conductor guarantees, together with the protective ground conductor of
the monitor, that the housing leakage current always remains less than 500 µA, even in the event of
a single fault condition.
No unauthorized opening of the device / no unauthorized service or maintenance work
The device may only be opened by qualified personnel. Likewise, service or maintenance work may
only be carried out by qualified personnel. There is a risk of electric shock.
No liability is accepted for death and injury to persons or damage to property resulting from work car-
ried out by non-qualified personnel.
Do not touch components in the device
If the device is connected to the line power, components in the device are subjected to high voltages.
Touching the components may be fatal.
No contact between device and patients
The device is not suitable for direct contact with a patient. The device and patient must never be
touched simultaneously. Otherwise there is a danger to life and limb.
