WARNING
• The WM-NP2 mobile workstation should only be used in a medical
facility under the direction of a trained physician.
• Explosion hazard - never install or use the WM-NP2 mobile workstation
within the zone of risk of flammable gases. The workstation is fitted with
antistatic castors, none of the medical electrical equipment with which
the workstation is intended to be used is ‘AP’ or ‘APG’ rated, therefore
never install or use the WM-NP2 mobile workstation within the zone of
risk of flammable gases.
• To prevent patient shock, the combination of equipment used on the
WM-NP2 mobile workstation should never be applied directly to the
heart.
• After wiping with a piece of moistened gauze, dry the workstation and
mounted devices thoroughly before using it again. If it is used while still
wet, there is the risk of an electric shock.
• Use personal protective equipment to guard against dangerous
chemicals and potentially infectious material, otherwise, blood, mucus
and other potentially infectious material from the patient could pose an
infection risk. During cleaning, wear appropriate protective equipment,
such as eye wear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing and chemical-
resistant gloves that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin is
not exposed.
• To prevent user or patient cross-contamination, do not hang
contaminated endoscopes on the scope hanger.
• The WM-NP2 should be used in accordance with the following.
Otherwise, the workstation will be ‘top heavy’ and may lose stability and
topple, causing equipment damage and/or personal injury.
Do not attach more than one LCD monitor arm to each side
of the workstation.
LCD monitor arms and monitors should not be installed and
used on an empty workstation.
LCD monitor arms and monitors should be installed after all
other equipment is installed on an appropriate place on the
workstation.
• (USA only): The power cord on this unit is fitted with a ‘hospital grade’
plug. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when this equipment is
connected to an equivalent receptacle marked ‘hospital grade’.
