Electrical equipment may be hazardous
if misused. The equipment covers
should only be removed by authorised
technical personnel.
Do not use the system in the presence
of flammable gases such as anaesthetic
agents.
Before you connect system to the mains
socket, carefully read and understand all the
installation instructions in Section 3.
The system has been designed to comply with
the following regulatory standards for Safety
and Electromagnetic Compatibility:
•
IEC60601-1, UL60601-1
& CAN/CSA-C22.2 No 601.1
•
IEC60601-1-2:2001
Although compliant with applicable EMC
standards, this equipment may still be
susceptible to excessive emissions and/or may
interfere with other more sensitive material.
This system should be installed and used
following the EMC environment guidelines
contained in Annex I of this manual.
This system should only be used in conjunction
with the relevant accessories and mains
leads as supplied by the manufacturer or
distributor. Failure to do this may affect the
EMC performance of the system i.e. increased
emissions or reduced immunity. Relevant
accessories are listed in the Spare Parts &
Accessories section.
For your own safety and the safety of the
equipment, always take the following
precautions:
•
Keep the console away from sources of
liquids and do not spray with water.
•
Switch off the electrical supply and
disconnect from the mains electrical supply
before cleaning and inspection.
•
Do not use hypercarbonate or phenolic
based cleaning solutions or disinfectants
containing cationic surfactants (e.g. Dettox)
to clean the console.
•
Ensure that the system is clean and dry prior
to storage.
•
Observe the usual safety precautions,
associated with the use of medical gases, at
all times. Copies of these guidelines will be
available from the gas supplier.
•
Ensure the correct disposition of gas
exhausted from the system so as to minimise
the exposure to Nitrous Oxide or Carbon
Dioxide. This is the responsibility of the user.
•
Ensure that the system is inspected by
properly trained personnel once per annum
for performance and safety checks.
•
Keep this operator manual safe for future
reference.
•
Inspect the Cryo Tip for damage before
every use. If there is any sign of damage
return to the manufacturer for servicing
prior to use. Do not try to straighten a bent
Cryo Tip.
•
Do not try to re-shape a Cryo Tip.
