Inspections

Expected Service Life
The Curve system lifetime is dependent on factors such as method and duration of each use, and
handling between uses. Careful functional testing and inspection of the Curve system before use
is the best method for determining the end of lifetime.
The end of lifetime is normally determined by wear and tear damage due to use. As part of
preventive service, follow the maintenance instructions.
Ensuring Safety and Functionality
Do not carry out inspections or maintenance while Curve is being used for patient treatment.
The system should be maintained and inspected on a regular basis to ensure functionality
and safety.
Interval
A detailed inspection should be performed by Brainlab support once a year.
Authorized Persons
Only Brainlab and/or authorized partners are allowed to service the system and equipment.
Risk of electrical shock: There are no user-serviceable parts. All servicing is to be carried
out by trained technicians or referred to Brainlab.
Before Using the System
If the system has not been used for an extended period of time, verify that everything operates
normally before beginning patient treatment.
