2.2 Electrical Safety
• Do not operate the Vivo 40 if it has a damaged power cord or casing.
• The Vivo 40 may not work properly if any part has been dropped, damaged
or submerged in water.
• To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the electrical supply to the Vivo 40
before cleaning. Do not immerse the Vivo 40 into any fluids.
• The operator shall not touch accessible contacts of connectors and the
patient simultaneously.
• When handling the HA 01 humidifier, always turn off the Vivo 40 and dis-
connect the Vivo 40 from the AC power supply.
• Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must
be certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for
data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment). Fur-
thermore, all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the sys-
tem standard IEC 60601-1-1. Therefore, everyone who connects
additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part config-
ures a medical system is responsible that the system complies with the
requirements of the valid version of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. If
in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local represent-
ative.
• If an external battery is used, always disconnect it when the Vivo 40 is
switched off. Otherwise there is a risk that the battery will discharge.
• If the AC power source fails and the internal or the external battery acti-
vates, the HA 01 humidifier will be turned off automatically. It must be
activated again manually, if humidification during battery use is necessary.
• Only use the data connection to connect the Vivo 40 to the iCom or a PC.
