1. 2 General safety instructions
WARNING: Installation and commissioning of the device must only be performed by authorized
3
qualified technicians from KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG who have been trained in electrical or
electronic engineering or by an authorized contractual partner.
WARNING: Only use accessories which have been specified for use with the device by
3
KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG.
WARNING: Combinations of medical devices are only assured to be safe if they are identified as such
3
in the respective instruction manuals or if the intended use and interface specifications of the products
used in combination permit this.
WARNING: The various components of the device are only grounded reliably when the equipment
3
is connected to a 'Hospital Only' or 'Hospital Grade' outlet (i.e., approved for use in an operating
room environment). Routinely inspect the electrical plug and cord. Do not use if the inspection reveals
damage.
WARNING: Do not open the various components! Danger of electric shock. Any opening of the device
3
by unauthorized persons will void all warranty claims.
WARNING: Only operate the various components of the device with the voltage stated on the rating
3
plate.
WARNING: Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the
3
respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g., IEC 60950 for data processing equipment). Furthermore, all
configurations must satisfy the requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 and
IEC 60601-1, paragraph 16, 3rd edition). Any person who connects additional devices to electrical
medical devices configures a medical system, and is therefore responsible for ensuring that this system
complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. It must be taken into account that local
regulations take priority over the aforementioned requirements. If in doubt, consult the technical service
department or your local representative.
