Establishing Potential Equalization; Connecting Devices Or Computers To The Data Interfaces - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Assembly and preparation
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and of device
malfunction
Any connected devices or device
combinations not complying with the
requirements in these instructions for use
may compromise correct functioning of the
medical device.
– Do not connect high-frequency surgery
equipment to the auxiliary power sockets
of the anesthesia machine.
– Before using the medical device, refer to
and strictly comply with the instructions
for use of all connected devices and
device combinations.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock due to penetration of
fluids
When the device is connected to the mains
power supply, the auxiliary power sockets
underneath the column cover receive current.
– Reattach the column cover correctly after
additional devices have been connected
to the auxiliary power sockets.
– Only use the device with the column cover
closed.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Components such as power supply units
which are connected to the auxiliary power
sockets on Perseus become warm during
operation. If these components are placed
under the column cover, they may overheat.
Do not place components that become warm
under the column cover.

Establishing potential equalization

Differences in electrical potential between devices
can be reduced by potential equalization.
Potential equalization does not replace the
protective ground connection.
During operation, the potential equalization
connectors must be readily accessible and must
be removable without tools.
Connecting the potential equalization cable
1 Connect the potential equalization cable to the
potential equalization pin on the device.
2 Connect the potential equalization cable to a
potential equalization connector of the hospital
(e.g., wall, ceiling supply unit, operating table).
Connecting devices or computers to the
data interfaces
This device is equipped with data interfaces such
as RS232, LAN, and USB. These interfaces can
be used to set up a network in accordance with
IEC 60601-1.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
If USB devices with their own power supply
are used, the patient leakage current may
increase.
– Only use USB devices that do not have
their own power supply.
– Do not connect USB devices by means of
charger cables.
