2.0 For your safety
• To safely disconnect the unit from the power supply, the
power cable must be removed from the IEC connector of
the control device!
• The ATMOS i View COLPO is a device designed in line with
IEC 60601-1/EN 60601-1 and is a protection class I device.
In order to avoid the risk of electrical shock, this device
may only be connected to a power supply with a properly
installed earth conductor.
• Power cables, accessories, and access cables need to be
checked for defects prior to setting up the ATMOS i View
COLPO. Damaged cables must be replaced immediately.
• The ATMOS i View COLPO may only be operated by quali-
fied personnel.
• The ATMOS i View COLPO is not designed to be used in
explosion-hazardous environments. Explosion-hazardous
areas may be caused by the use of flammable anesthetics,
skin cleansing products, and skin disinfectants.
• If fluids have penetrated the ATMOS i View COLPO, it
needs to be sent in and may only be used after being
checked by a person authorized by ATMOS.
• After transport of the ATMOS i View COLPO at tempera-
tures below 0 °C or prior to first start-up, it should be kept
at room temperature for at least six hours. If the ATMOS i
View COLPO is not acclimatized, it may not be used.
• Do not plug in electric connections (plug, socket) under
the use of force. If this is not possible, check whether the
plug fits the socket. If you should ascertain a defect in the
connection, you should have it repaired by our service.
• Never look straight into the sun with lenses or eyepiece
lenses.
• Always make sure that you do not blind patients with the
light source! Watch out that patients do not look directly into
the light source!
Never look directly into the light source!
> Damage to the eyes due to the strong glare.
• Please pay attention to the periodic tests in chapter 6 "Ser-
vice and maintenance" on page 24.
• Prior to every use, the colposcope suspension (all joints
included) need to be checked for safe connections.
• Take care that the patient does not touch the device or
have any contact with it.
• Please observe the EMC Directives. Failure to follow this
guideline can result in a hazard.
• Make sure that the unit is positioned so that all the controls
and the on/off switch are always accessible.
• Dispose of wrappings accordingly.
• Before connecting the ATMOS i View COLPO, check
whether the line voltage and frequency specified on the AT-
MOS i View COLPO match the values of the power supply.
• Only proper and undamaged plugs and extension cables
may be used.
• To disconnect the ATMOS i View COLPO from the power
supply, first remove the plug from the wall outlet. Discon-

!
For your safety
nect the connection line on the ATMOS i View COLPO
afterwards only. Never touch plug or line with wet hands.
• Please observe the ambient conditions stated in the
Technical Data (chapter 9.0).
• The ATMOS i View COLPO meets the immunity to
interference requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 / EN 60601-
1-2 "Electromagnetic Compatibility – Medical Electrical
Devices."
• ATMOS is not liable for personal injury and damage to
property if
- no original ATMOS parts are being used,
- the advice for use in these operating instructions is
not being observed,
- assembly, new settings, alterations, extensions, and
repairs have been carried out by personnel not au-
thorized by ATMOS.
• Unplug the device immediately if you observe fumes,
sparks, or unusual noises.
• With every light source, a warming of tissue due to ab-
sorption may occur. Please make sure to reduce duration
of use to a minimum, to switch off the light source when
not in use, and to check heat development if necessary.
• The ATMOS i View COLPO may be operated only in
rooms used for medical purposes, but not in areas
subject to explosion hazards and in oxygen-rich environ-
ments.
• Take into consideration when setting up the colposcope
that the elastic force of the arm – without colposcope
head – is exceedingly strong. Operate the brake of the
height adjustment carefully.
• Risk of injury! Take care not to roll the mobile stand over
your feet when moving the stand.
• Please note that only PCs and monitors with IEC 60601-
1/EN 60601-1/EN 60950-1 approval may be connected
to the video outlets of the ATMOS i View COLPO supply
module!
• During operation, the user is obliged to regularly check
the microscope for proper function. In the unlikely event
of failure of the microscope, the user must take precau-
tions to continue the treatment of the patient with suitable
methods.
