Safety Notes
The three symbols are:
• BF (body protected) symbol . This means that the input
connectors are suitable for connection to humans provided there is
no direct electrical connection to the heart.
• Warning symbol . The exclamation mark inside a triangle means
that you should consult the supplied documentation (you're
reading it) for operating information or cautionary and safety
information before using the device.
• CF (cardiac protected) symbol . (Appears on some models of Bio
Amp, and every BP Amp.) This means that the input connectors
are suitable for connection to humans even when there is direct
electrical connection to the heart.
Cleaning and Sterilisation
This system is not supplied with materials or components likely to
need sterilisation. If you need to clean peripherals likely to be in
contact with different subjects, they can be cold-sterilised with an
appropriate sterilising agent. No part of the system can be autoclaved.
Storage
It is recommended that the hardware be kept below 40 ° C and above
0 ° C in a moisture-free or low-humidity environment when not in use
(storage only). Electronic components are susceptible to corrosive
substances and atmospheres, so it is also advisable to keep the system
away from laboratory chemicals.
Preventative Inspection and Maintenance
Both PowerLab systems and ADInstruments front-ends are
maintenance free and do not require periodic calibration or
adjustment to ensure medical safety. Internal diagnostic software
performs system checks during power up and will report errors if a
significant problem is found.
There is no need to open the instrument for inspection or
maintenance, and doing so within the warranty period will void the
warranty.
