Leica M220 F12 / Ref. 10 716 922 / Version 03
• Like any other instrument in the operating theater, this system
may fail. Leica Microsystem (Schweiz) AG therefore
recommends that a backup system is kept available during the
operation.
• Only the supplied power cord may be used.
• The power cord must have a protective conductor and must be
undamaged.
• The power cord must be mechanically secured with the "Power
Input" socket to prevent accidental disconnection.
• The Leica Microsystems surgical microscope may be used only
by physicians and medical assistance personnel with
appropriate qualifications who have been instructed in the use
of the instrument. Specific training is not required.
• All parts of the Leica M220 F12 shall not be serviced or
maintained while in use with a patient.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to other equipment should be
avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such
use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment
should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Use of accessories and cables other than those specified or
provided by the manufacturer of his equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in
improper operation.
• The Leica M220 F12 surgical microscope may be used only in
closed rooms and must be placed on a solid floor.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals
such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used
no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Leica M220,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Note:
The EMISSIONS characteristics of this equipment make it suitable
for use in industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is
used in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11 class B is
normally required) this equipment might not offer adequate
protection to radio-frequency communication services. The user
might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or
re-orienting the equipment.
