3.5 Dangers from electrical current
An improper power supply may cause an electric shock and injure patients, users, or third parties.
Use either the power cord supplied by KARL STORZ or a power cord which has the same
properties and which bears a national mark of conformity.
The product may only be operated with the line voltage stated on the rating plate.
Position the product appropriately so that the power cord can be unplugged at any time. The
product is only voltage-free when the mains plug has been disconnected.
Ensure potential equalization according to the applicable national rules and regulations.
Connect the product to a power supply with protective conductor.
In the case of electrical products, individual components or the product itself may be live. Live parts
can cause electric shocks in the event of contact and injure patients, users, and third parties.
Do not open the product.
Have servicing carried out by KARL STORZ or a company authorized by KARL STORZ.
Do not touch the output jacks of the product and the patient at the same time during use
Always pull out the mains plug before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance work.
3.6 Electromagnetic interference
Medical electrical devices are subject to special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
If other devices (e.g., MRT, CT, diathermy, electrocautery, or RFID) emit electromagnetic radiation, the
product’s functionality may be impaired. High-frequency (HF) communication equipment can affect
electrical medical devices and impair their performance.
During installation and operation of the product, please take note of the information on
electromagnetic compatibility, see chapter
Electromagnetic compatibility
.
3.7 High light intensity
The high level of light intensity produced by the light source may lead to permanent eye damage or
blindness, and may cause tissue and items facing the light output to heat up.
Do not look into the light output.
Set the output of the adjustable light sources to a level that is just high enough to ensure optimal
illumination of the operating area.
Make sure the light output is sufficiently far away from tissue and operating accessories.
3.8 Hot components
The high level of light intensity produced by the light source may cause the distal end, the light
connections, and adjacent components to heat up. This can cause burns to patients, users, and third
parties.
Set the output of the adjustable light sources to a level that is just high enough to ensure optimal
illumination of the operating area.
Prevent the distal end, light connections, and adjacent components from coming into contact
with tissue and operating room accessories.
3.9 Failure of products
The product may fail during use.
