1.4 Safety-conscious operation
Do not place any liquids on the unit. If liquid should be spilled over the device,
immediately disconnect the device from the mains and wipe it. The device must
be serviced before reusing.
Danger of electric shock! Do not open the device without disconnecting the
device from the mains.
Before cleaning and to isolate the mains power supply, switch the unit off and
disconnect it from the mains by removing the plug.
Do not use high temperature sterilisation processes
(such as autoclaving). Do not use E-beam or gamma radiation sterilisation.
Do not use solvent or abrasive cleaners on either the unit or cable assemblies.
Do not, under any circumstances, immerse the unit or cable assemblies in liquid.

Safety facilities

Operating the device without the correctly rated fuse, or with defective cables,
constitutes a danger to life. Therefore:
– Do not operate the unit if the earth connection is suspect or if the mains lead is
damaged or suspected of being damaged.
– Damaged cable connections and connectors must be replaced immediately.
– The electrical safety devices, such as fuses, must not be altered.
– Ruptured fuses must only be replaced with the same type and rating as the orig-
inal.

Operation with other devices

Use only accessories and other parts recommended or supplied by SCHILLER
AG. Use of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury,
inaccurate information and/or damage to the unit.
Ancillary equipment connected to the analogue and/or digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore
all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard IEC/
EN 60601-1-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input
part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore
responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the valid version
of the system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical
service department or your local representative.
– EC/EN 60601-1-1 states that the patient must remain at least 1.5 meters clear
of the unit. If this is not possible, a safety isolating transformer must be installed.
