WARNING!
Footswitches are also potential sources of ignition. Due to their application, it is not always possible
to avoid setting them up in or near to the danger zone. Footswitches must therefore meet the
special safety requirements of the "AP Class" in accordance with IEC 60 601-1 and be marked
with corresponding labels, if they are set up in the danger zone.
6.6 Protection against moisture
ICC model series high-frequency surgical units are protected against the penetration of moisture in
accordance with EN 60 601-2-2 . In spite of this, these units should not be set up in the vicinity of
hoses or containers which contain liquids. Liquids should not be placed above or even on the unit.
Only those footswitches may be used which are watertight in accordance with EN 60 601-2-2
Sec. 44.6 aa. Only those electrode handles with key switches must be used which conform to EN
60 601-2-2, Sec. 44.6 bb.
6.7 Cooling
ICC model series units must be set up in such a way that free air circulation around their housing
is ensured. For that reason, set-up in confined corners, shelves etc. is not permissible.
6.8 HF interferences
High-frequency surgical units intentionally generate high-frequency voltages and currents. It must
therefore be taken into consideration during set-up and operation that other electromedical equipment
may be subjected to functional interference.
6.9 Combination with other units
If an ICC is to be operated in combination with other units, make certain that the correct functions
and the safety of the units are not impaired by this combination.
For combination of an ICC with an Argon Plasma Coagulation unit, the instruction manual for
the Argon Plasma Coagulation unit must also be precisely observed.
6.10 Receiving inspection
The unit should be checked immediately upon receipt for shipping damage and be subjected to
a performance test. In case of damage due to shipping, this must be immediately reported to the
shipping agent and a damage report must be filled out to secure the claim for damage
compensation. This must include, in addition to the name and address of the recipient, the date
of receipt, type and serial number of the unit supplied, as well as a description of the damages.
The unit’s original packaging should be retained during the guarantee period so that the unit can
be returned in the original packaging if this becomes necessary.
