Intended Purpose
•
The suspension arm system IDP 101 S air plus is individually equipped. Depending on
version and fitted equipment, it can be used for the following:
—
carrying and positioning of medical end devices in the operating room, in intensive
care, and in other medical environments.
—
transport and withdrawal of media such as medical gases, vacuum and compressed air
(M6 service head only), electricity and data (e.g. telephone, nurse call, computer data,
etc.).
•
The suspension arm system is suitable for continuous operation.
•
The suspension arm system may be operated only by qualified medical staff with
appropriate qualifications.
•
The suspension arm system may be cleaned and disinfected only by instructed hygiene
specialists.
•
The suspension arm system may be serviced only by the operator’s technical specialists on
the basis of the applicable instructions.
The operator may operate the device only if an on-site functional test has previously been
performed by Gebrüder Martin or a person authorized by Gebrüder Martin. In addition, a
responsible person designated by the operator must have been instructed in the proper
handling, application and operation of the device, as well as in its permissible combination with
other medical devices, objects and accessories. This duly instructed officer shall subsequently
be responsible for familiarizing the operator’s staff with the device as the need arises.
We recommend documenting all user instructions in a medical device logbook. A copy of the
logbook is available from Gebrüder Martin.
The operational safety of the device must be verified at regular intervals, see section 10
“Inspection Plan”, page 103.
