Safety Tests
Details of the safety tests and procedures required after an installation or an exchange of system
components are described in your monitor's Service Guide. These safety tests are derived from
international standards but may not be sufficient to meet local requirements.
WARNING
•
Do not use additional AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple
portable socket-outlet is used, the resulting system must be compliant with IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
•
Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system.
•
Do not use a device in the patient vicinity if it does not comply with IEC/EN 60601-1. The whole
installation, including devices outside of the patient vicinity, must comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-
1. Any non-medical device, including a PC running an OB TraceVue system, placed and operated
in the patient's vicinity must be powered via a separating transformer (compliant with IEC/EN
60601-1-1) that ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power
outlets.
