2.2 Electrical Safety
• Do not operate the Vivo 65 if it has a damaged power cord or casing.
• To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the electrical supply to the
Vivo 65 before cleaning. Do not immerse the Vivo 65 into any fluids.
• If a multiple portable socket-outlet is used, it must not be placed on
the floor.
• Do not use more than one multiple portable socket-outlet or exten-
sion cord.
• The operator must not touch accessible contacts of connectors and
the patient simultaneously.
• Nurse Call must only be connected to a safety extra low voltage sys-
tem with an isolation from mains voltage which complies with the
requirements of IEC 60601-1.
• The aspects of electromagnetic compatibility must be considered.
The Vivo 65 should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment; if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Vivo 65 should
be observed to verify normal operation in that configuration. Mobile
or transportable radio transmitters may interfere with the Vivo 65.
Guidance for safe installation of the Vivo 65 can be found in “Emis-
sion and Immunity Declaration” on page 192.
• If a portable AC power supply is used, make sure that the voltage var-
iations are within the operating limits of the Vivo 65.
See “Power Supply” on page 188 for AC operating limits.
• Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified
or provided by Breas could result in increased electromagnetic emis-
sions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and
result in improper operation.
