6. Important information
•
The compliance of this monitor with Medical Safety and EMC requirements has been evaluated using
the external (optional) Skynet medical power supply model BAR-A159. If a different power supply will
be used, further investigation for Safety and EMC requirements, have to be performed at system level.
Power cords:
•
Utilize a UL-listed detachable power cord, 3-wire, type SJ or equivalent, 18 AWG min., rated 250 V
min., provided with a hospital-grade type plug 5-15P con
fi
guration for 120V application, or 6-15P for
240V application.
•
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this may result in
fi
re or electric shock.
•
Mains lead protection (U.S.: Power cord): Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked upon or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs and receptacles.
•
The power supply cord should be replaced by the designated operator only at all time.
•
Use a power cord that matches the voltage of the power outlet, which has been approved and complies
with the safety standard of your particular country.
Transient over-voltage
If the device is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the AC inlet to avoid damage by transient
over-voltage.
To fully disengage the power to the device, please disconnect the power cord from the AC inlet.
Connections
Any external connection with other peripherals must follow the requirements of clause 16 of IEC60601-1
3rd ed. or Table BBB.201 of IEC 60601-1-1 for the medical electrical systems.
Water and moisture
The equipment is IP21 compliant (IPx5 front side only).
The power supply is not approved for IP21. The power supply must be mounted in a
fl
at
position for best resistance to
fl
uids.
Ventilation
Do not cover or block any ventilation openings in the cover of the set. When installing the device in a
cupboard or another closed location, heed the necessary space between the set and the sides of the
cupboard.
Installation
•
Place the equipment on a
fl
at, solid and stable surface that can support the weight of at least 3 equip-
ments. If you use an unstable cart or stand, the equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the equipment.
•
Do not allow to climb or rest on the equipment.
•
When adjusting the angle of the equipment, move it slowly so as to prevent the equipment from moving
or slipping off from its stand or arm.
•
When the equipment is attached to an arm, do not use the equipment as a handle or grip in order to
move the equipment. Please refer to the instruction manual of the arm for instructions on how to move
the arm with the equipment.
•
Provide full attention to safety during installation, periodic maintenance and examination of this equip-
ment.
