Ultiri™ Measurement System Operation Manual – 600327583 Rev. A
Making Proper Electrical Connections
Ensure that the electrical connection for the system is properly rated. Carefully
follow the safety guidelines described in this section when connecting the system
power cord to the hospital or laboratory AC outlet.
WARNING: Failure to follow the electrical connection precautions detailed in
this section causes the system and its use to be out of compliance with
regulations and places the patient and the operator at risk of injury or death,
and may damage the equipment.
WARNING: Do not allow the tableside controller (TSC) power supply to get
wet.
•
Use the power switch or the power cord to disconnect from main power.
•
Make sure any devices that connect to the network interface of the Ultiri
Measurement System comply with the appropriate IEC / national
standard and are certified to IEC 60950/IEC 62368-1.
•
The Ultiri Measurement System provides a terminal for connection of a
potential equalization / equipotentiality conductor. The location of this
terminal is shown in the "Making Connections" section of "Setting Up the
System".
This conductor provides direct electrical connection between the Ultiri
Measurement System and the potential equalization busbar. You must
make this potential equalization connection to ensure that all metallic
conducting surfaces are at the same potential.
The potential equalization cable must meet the requirements of
IEC 60601-1.
•
Use no electrical peripherals within six feet (1.8 m) of a patient unless
the peripherals receive power from an isolation transformer that meets
medical safety standards.
Note: If the Ultiri Measurement System is used with peripherals that
are powered from a separate wall outlet, the combination is
considered to be a Medical System. It is the user's responsibility to
comply with IEC 60601-1 and test the Medical System according to
the requirements.
Explosion Hazard
WARNING: Do not operate the Ultiri Measurement System in the presence of
flammable anesthetics. Doing so could lead to an explosion.
