performance verified by qualified service engineer before returning to use.

Equipment and Personnel Safety

WARNING

The system voltage may cause serious injury or damage to the system.

 

Installing the system yourself may cause damage to the system or electrical shock. 

 

To avoid damage to the system and avoid electrical shock, only qualified ALPINION 

service engineer must install the system.

 

When you observe that the system causes any malfunction, you must stop operating 

the system and take proper action for patients. After that, contact ALPINION service 

engineer.

 

Do not modify this system such as system components, or software. When you modify 

the system, it may cause safety hazards. Only qualified ALPINION service engineer 

must modify the system.

 

Always make sure you turn off the system power and unplug the power cord from the 

power outlet before cleaning up and disinfecting the system.

WARNING

To avoid injury:

 

Do not remove the covers of a system yourself to avoid damage to the system and 

unexpected electrical shock. Only qualified ALPINION service engineer must repair or 

replace components.

 

You must make sure grounded integrity of the power outlet and system regularly.

 

To avoid risk of electric shock, you must connect the system to the supply mains with 

the protective earth.

 

Do not allow water or liquids on or above the system. Dripping water or liquids into 

the system may cause electrical shock and damage to the system.

WARNING

Always make sure that you do not operate the system in the presence of flammable or 

explosive liquids, vapors or gases. Malfunctions in the system, or sparks generated by 

fan motors, can electrically ignite these substances. Operators should be aware of the 

following points to prevent such explosion hazards.

 

If flammable substances are detected in the environment, do not plug in or turn on 

the system.

 

If flammable substances are detected after the system has been turned on, do not 

attempt to turn off the system, or to unplug it.

 

If flammable substances are detected, evacuate and ventilate the area before turning 

off the system.
