SHOCK HAZARD — Strictly observe the following
warnings. Failure to do so may endanger the lives of the
patient, the user and bystanders.
Connecting peripheral devices to the RS232 interface
of the electrocardiograph creates a medical system.
This system must meet the requirements of IEC
60601-1-1.
Use only the original GEMS IT connection cables.
All non-medical devices of a system must be
connected to the same electric circuit. Devices which
are not connected to the same circuit must be
electrically isolated (use isolated RS232 interface as
per IEC 60601-1).
A PC connected to the electrocardiograph should
meet the requirements of EN 60601. If it doesn't, it
must be set up outside the patient environment. If
the PC fulfills the requirements of EN 60950, it must
be set up within the medically used area, but outside
the patient environment.
Do NOT connect PCs to the electrocardiograph that
fulfill neither EN 60601 nor EN 60950.
Modems connected to the electrocardiograph must
meet the requirements of EN 60950 or UL1950 (all
modems recommended by GEMS IT meet these
requirements). The specific regulations valid in your
country must also be observed.
The modem must be set up within the medically used
area, but outside the patient environment.
