2.0 Safety
This section provides an overview of important safety as-
pects of installing, operating and maintaining this device.
Disregarding this Manual and safety regulations specified
therein may result in considerable danger and possible seri-
ous injury or death or damage to device or equipment.
2.1 Use
2.1.1 Intended use
The device has been designed and built exclusively for its
intended purpose as described in these instructions. The
device is to be used only for dynamic centric compression
and tensile-loaded lift of a load.
It is intended for interior use only. The device has been de-
signed for the movement of medical equipment, specifically
medical procedure chairs, surgery and imaging tables.
However, the device is not designed for uncovered systems.
To avoid patient and operator to be injured, the device must
always be covered, so that the patient or operator could not
access the device.
WARNING
Risk from misuse
Any utilization of this device beyond its intended purpose may
lead to potential hazardous situations.
Therefore:
• Strictly adhere to all safety precautions and instructions in this
operating manual.
• Do not make this device suject to weather conditions, strong UV
rays, corrosive or explosive air media as well as other aggressive
media.
• Do not modify, retool or change the structural design or individual
components of the actuator.
• Never use the device outside of the technical application and op-
erational limits.
Range of environmental conditions:
• ambient temperature: 10 °C to + 40 °C
• relative humidity : 5% to 85%
• atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1 060 hPa
2.1.1.1 Product lifetime
The linear actuator CAMT is designed for a service life of 10
years in a typical medical procedure equipment application.
Product service life of the linear actuator CAMT depends on
the stroke and load of the application. According to the L10
lifetime of the device, 60‘000 cycles can be achieved in an
average medical procedure application (average load of 3
000 N and average stroke of 100 mm).
2.1.2 Unintended Use
Any use other than the intended use, or modifications to the
device without the manufacturer’s written agreement, or op-
eration beyond the technical limits, is considered
unauthorized.
Specific application exemptions are:
• Flammable anaesthetic mixture with air
• Flammable anaesthetic mixture with oxygen or nitrous oxide
• Increased radiation
• Places exposed to water (wet rooms).
NOTE
Any unauthorized use of the device can cause personal injury
and property damage. Always adhere to the instructions given in
this manual.
2.1.3 Essential performance
The essential performance of the linear actuator CAMT is to
move or hold a load within the boundaries defined by the de-
vice specifications given in this operating manual and the
datasheet.
Any injury, damage or loss caused by violation of these in-
structions will be the responsibility of the customer.
