Safety instructions
Before each use check these products for damage!
Erbe recommends carrying out an electrical continuity test be-
fore each application of these products.
Note: If the cable conductor is broken or the electrical continuity
of the cable is interrupted in any other manner it can cause arc-
ing in the patient return system or in the active circuit; this can
lead to the patient suffering burns or the outbreak of a fire.
If damaged, do not use these products!
Do not use in the presence of combustible or explosive materi-
als!
Never lay this product on the patient or in his/her direct vicinity.
Damp inside the connectors may cause flash-overs that could
damage the connector or its insulation. Ensure that the product
is dried sufficiently during reconditioning and prevent fluids
from penetrating the connector during use. The older the mate-
rial, the greater the risk of unwanted damp in the connectors.
