Safety Precautions - Olympus PSD-10 Instructions Manual

1 - 3 S a f e t y P r e c a u t i o n s
The PSD-10 should be used only in a medical facility under the supervision of a
trained physician.
The PSD-10 is designed (floating) to function integrally with insulated patient attachments
(active electrode and patient plate) to prevent operator/patient shock. To prevent shocks
which may be caused by leakage current from other apparatus applied to the patient,
endoscopes and cameras used with the PSD-10 should not be grounded.
The endoscopist and his assistant should wear rubber handgloves as an added precaution.
When using a camera (except the SC16-10) an insulating hood should be attached
to the camera's eyepiece.
The enclosure of the PSD-10 must be grounded securely and effectively. Do not
defeat the line cord ground connection.
The PSD-10 should never be applied to the heart directly.
Never install and operate the PSD-10 where there is a risk of flammable gases.
Should any irregularity or abnormality be suspected during operation, immediately
stop the use of instrument and turn OFF the power switch.
Keep liquids away from all electrical equipment to prevent operator shock and instrument
damage. Do not use the PSD-10 if spilled fluids have entered the unit.
Please investigate the possibility of electronic interference for other electromedical
equipment in conjunction with the PSD-10 prior to use.
Do not install the patient plate adjacently to an artificial bone (metal), etc.
