Technical Safety Checks (TSC)
PPS Medical Series treadmills are devices in protection class I and have an application part in type B
(railing). The power cord is normally not removable.
Permanent Connection
PPS Series devices are usually not intended for permanent connection. The installation of a permanent
connection must be performed by suitably trained personnel. For the safety checks on permanently
connected equipment, the applicable country-specific regulations are to be observed.
Checks and Measurements
Tests/measurements must be carried out on a properly functional device. Any repairs must be
performed by qualified personnel before the technical safety inspection.
Manufacturer's Recommendations
Prior to the tests, the manufacturer's recommendations for the maintenance of the treadmill are to
be considered in accordance with EN 62353. For this reason, these instructions are to be read
completely and carefully. If accessories are used, the product manufacturer
’s
recommendations are
to be observed accordingly. Measurement technology checks are not intended for PPS Series
treadmills.
Multiple Devices
If the treadmill is used along with other medical electrical equipment (e.g. for the ergospirometry or
with PC control software), the requirements set out on the Medical Electrical system ("ME-System")
in accordance with Section 3:22 of standard EN 62353:2008 apply.
Data lines (RS-232) and functional grounds are to be separated (potential equalization) for the
duration of the measurements, along with other connections to other devices.
ATTENTION
For safety reasons, the use of power strips and the simultaneous
operation of other equipment on the same supply line are prohibited.
An exception can be made for the use of spirometry systems. In this
case, the requirements for technical safety inspection of ME systems
according to EN 62353 need to be considered.
