Operational Safety
◗
Before operating the S5 System, the user must read the operating instructions thoroughly and
become familiar with the machine functions.
!
◗
Before using the machine, check all cables, tubes, connectors and other accessories to make sure
that they are connected correctly, are not leaking and are in perfect working order. Replace all
damaged components immediately.
◗
Ensure that the tubes are laid out as straight as possible and do not kink or twist the cables. Kinked
or twisted cables could pose a hazard to any persons present (causing them to stumble or get caught
up in them).
◗
Secure the tubing system to prevent vibration during pulse mode.
◗
Make sure that the air circulation at the ventilation openings is unimpeded. Insufficient ventilation
may cause overheating.
◗
Modifications or extensions to the machine or the use of spare parts which have not been tested and
approved by SORIN GROUP DEUTSCHLAND GMBH may have a detrimental effect on the safety and
operation of the machine. If this happens, SORIN GROUP DEUTSCHLAND GMBH cannot accept any
liability or responsibility.
!
◗
Do not use any more connectors or tubing than is necessary for operating the machine in accordance
with the regulations. Additional connectors etc. increase the risk of faults.
◗
Accessories and supplementary devices which have not been tested and approved by
SORIN GROUP DEUTSCHLAND GMBH must have evidence to show that their use does not represent a
safety hazard.
