Electrical safety

The potential for electrical shock exists when electrical equipment is used. To avoid
the risk of personal injury and property damage, the following preventive measures
must be taken:
► Establish policies and procedures to educate your staff on the risks associated
with electrical equipment.
► Due to the risk of electrical shock, only properly trained personnel with
appropriate service documentation should service the device.
► This device must only be connected to a properly grounded hospital-grade
power socket.
► Due to potential shock hazard within the phototherapy light, do not use the
device if the phototherapy light or other components fail to function properly.
► Always provide power to the device by connecting the power cable directly to
the mains power supply.
► Do not use extension power cables or power socket strips.
► Do not connect any devices or accessories that operate on mains voltage to the
USB port.
2.6.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special precautionary measures
concerning electromagnetic compatibility. Observe the EMC information during
installation and initial operation. For further information, see the following section:
EMC Declaration on page 76.
Portable and mobile high-frequency communication equipment can affect medical
electrical equipment.
Malfunctions that endanger the patient may occur if no protective measures against
electrostatic discharge are employed in the following situations:
► When touching the pins of connectors that carry the ESD warning symbol.
► When establishing connections with these connectors.
To prevent malfunctions, observe the following measures and train the relevant
personnel:
► Observe the ESD protective measures. Such measures may include wearing
anti-static clothing and shoes, touching a potential equalization pin before and
while making the connection, or using electrically insulating and anti-static
gloves.
► Observe the requirements for the electromagnetic environment. Observe the
following section: "Electromagnetic Immunity" on page 78.
Electromagnetic fields may interfere with the device function and consequently
endanger the patient. Electromagnetic fields are generated by, e.g.:
– Cellular phones
– High-frequency electrosurgical equipment
– Defibrillators
– Shortwave therapy equipment
► Maintain the separation distances. Observe the following section:
"Recommended separation distances" on page 81.
