Operation with other Devices

Use only accessories and other parts recommended or supplied by SCHILLER
AG. Use of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury, inac-
curate information and/or damage to the unit.
Ancillary equipment connected to the analogue and/or digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore
all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard IEC/
EN 60601-1-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input
part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore responsi-
ble that the system complies with the requirements of the valid version of the sy-
stem standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical service de-
partment or your local representative.
– EC/EN 60601-1-1 states that the patient must remain at least 1.5 meters clear
of the unit. If this is not possible, a safety isolating transformer must be installed.
Any other equipment used with the patient must use the same common earth as
the AT-101.
Precautions must be observed when using high frequency devices. Use the spe-
cial high frequency SCHILLER patient cable to avoid possible signal interference
during ECG acquisition.
There is no danger when using the ECG unit simultaneously with electrical stimu-
lation equipment. However, the stimulation units should only be used at a suf-
ficient distance from the electrodes. If in doubt, the patient should be disconnec-
ted from the device.
If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, an electrode be-
comes displaced, or an electrode resistance is too high, a lead-off indication is
displayed in the upper right part of the screen and an acoustic alarm given.
If the device is a part of a medical system, the original SCHILLER patient cable
must only be used with, and connected to, the patient connector on the AT-101.
