use.
The product is suitable for re-use.
Similar to second-hand machines or cars, products that are being re-used are subject to in-
creased strain. Features and functions must not change in a way that could endanger patients
or other persons within the product's life cycle.
Based on market observations and the current state of technology, the manufacturer has calcu-
lated that the product can be used for a period of 4 years, provided that it is used properly and
that the service and maintenance instructions are observed. Periods during which the product
is stored at the dealer or with the third party payer are not included in this period. It should be
clearly pointed out, however, that the product is reliable far beyond this defined period of time,
provided that it is cared for and maintained appropriately.
In cases of re-use, the corresponding product must first be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Subsequently, the product must be examined by an authorized specialist to check the condition,
wear and possible damages. Any worn and damaged components as well as components which
do not fit or are not suitable for the user must be replaced.
The service manual includes a service schedule, detailed information and a list of the required
tools.
