Normal Operation

WARNING: It is the operator's responsibility to use, check, and maintain this
!
device according to the labels of the product, accompanying instruction manuals,
and any revisions of the labeling or instructions that may be subsequently issued.
WARNING: Proper surgical procedures and techniques are the responsibility of
!
the operator.
WARNING: The MCH must be properly cleaned prior to operation or storage to
!
prevent high bacterial count or residual chemicals.
WARNING: Use a dedicated 20 Ampere AC "hospital grade" grounded outlet.
!
WARNING: This device must not be connected to a heat exchanger or blanket
!
with a manufacturer recommended max. pressure rating of less than 83 kPa (<12
psi). Rupture or leakage may occur in the heat exchanger resulting in patient injury
and/or damage to the system.
WARNING: During clinical operations, do not drain equipment connected to the
!
MCH. Draining attached equipment will drain the entire heat exchanger network.
WARNING: Do not operate the MCH with blocked water flow. Hoses must be
!
attached, and any valves must be open, so that water can flow freely. Operating the
MCH without hoses, or with closed valves on the hoses, will damage the pump and
void the warranty.
WARNING: The use of high frequency (HF) surgical instruments or endocardial
!
catheters with the MCH may increase the risk of electric shock, burns, or
electromagnetic interference. Appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure
operator and patient safety.
CAUTION: Position the MCH to allow easy access to the mains power plug. The
!
operator must be able to quickly unplug the device from mains power if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects to adjust or select switches on the control
!
panel.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the control panel clamp or articulated arm lock on the
!
MCH-1000(i). Mechanical damage may result.
CAUTION: Check for mechanical damage to any heat exchanger, blanket, or other
!
applied part, prior to connecting it to the MCH.
