Important safeguards and
notices for use in the
medical environments
1. All devices connected to the unit must
be certified or compliant according to
IEC 60601-1, IEC 60950-1, and
IEC 60065 standards and other IEC/ISO
standards applicable to the devices.
2. Furthermore, the system as a whole
must comply with IEC 60601-1
standards. All peripheral devices
connected to the signal input/output
sections of the unit constitute the
medical-use system, and therefore, the
user is responsible for ensuring that the
system as a whole complies with
IEC 60601-1 standards. If in doubt,
consult qualified Sony service
personnel.
3. Connecting the unit to other devices
may increase the leakage current.
4. For all peripheral devices connected to
the unit that operate on commercial
power supplies and do not comply with
IEC 60601-1 standards, incorporate an
isolation transformer that complies with
IEC 60601-1 standards and connect to
the commercial power supply via the
transformer.
5. The unit generates, uses, and may
radiate radio frequency energy. If it is
not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, it may
cause interference on other devices. If
the unit causes interference (which can
be determined by disconnecting the
power cord from the unit), try the
following.
- Relocate the unit with respect to the
affected devices.
- Connect the unit and the affected devices
to different branch circuits.
For more information, consult qualified
Sony service personnel.
