Storage and transport
•
For allowed storage and transport conditions refer to the documentation delivered with the monitor.
Points to note
•
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility and
needs to be installed and put into service by qualified personnel according to the electromagnetic
compatibility information provided in the Appendix C.
•
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the medical electrical equipment.
•
The allowed cables, transducers and accessories for the system are listed in the Supplies and
Accessories catalog delivered with the monitor.
•
The equipment is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery. Please notice the possible
limitations in the parameter sections and in the "Safety precautions" section.
•
Service and reparations are allowed for authorized service personnel only.
•
CISPR 11 classifications:
−
Group 1 contains all ISM (Industrial, scientific and medical) equipment in which there is
intentionally generated and/or used conductively coupled radio-frequency energy which is
necessary for the internal functioning of the equipment itself.
− Class A equipment is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and those directly
connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic
purposes.
2.2 ESD precautionary procedures
•
To avoid electrostatic charges to build up, it is recommended to store, maintain and use the
equipment at a relative humidity of 30% or greater. Floors should be covered by ESD
dissipative carpets or similar. Non-synthetic clothing should be used when working with the
component.
•
To prevent applying a possible electrostatic discharge to the ESD sensitive parts of the
equipment, one should touch the metallic frame of the component or a large metal object
located close to the equipment. When working with the equipment and specifically when the
ESD sensitive parts of the equipment may be touched, a grounded wrist strap intended for use
with ESD sensitive equipment should be worn. Refer to the documentation provided with the
wrist straps for details of proper use.
ESD precautionary procedure training
It is recommended that all potential users receive an explanation of the ESD warning symbol and
training in ESD precautionary procedures.
The minimum contents of ESD precautionary procedure training should include an introduction to
the physics of electrostatic charge, the voltage levels that can occur in normal practice and the
damage that can be done to electronic components if they are touched by an operator who is
electrostatically charged. Further, an explanation should be given of methods to prevent build-up of
electrostatic charge and how and why to discharge one’s body to earth or to the frame of the
equipment or bond oneself by means of a wrist strap to the equipment or the earth prior to making
a connection.
