HFA3 Instructions for Use
2660021166131 Rev. A 2018-11
1-9
WARNING: Do not reconfigure system components on the table, nor add
non-system devices or components to the table, nor replace original system
components with substitutes not approved by ZEISS. Such actions could result in
failure of the table height adjustment mechanism, instability of the table, tipping
and damage to the instrument, and injury to operator and patient.
If the power table or any part of the system is reconfigured or replaced or if any
external devices are connected to the instrument, the operator must ensure that
the complete system continues to comply with the requirements defined in IEC
60601-1.
CAUTION: The appliance coupler (power cord) is the main disconnect device of the
instrument. Position the instrument in such a way to have easy access to disconnect the
appliance coupler in case of an emergency.
CAUTION: In case of an emergency, disconnect the appliance coupler.
WARNING: This instrument may cause ignition of flammable gases or vapors. Do
not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or oxidizers such as nitrous
oxide or pure oxygen.
WARNING: Avoid tipping. Do not use the instrument on an uneven or sloped
surface. Do not roll the table from one location to another while the instrument is
on the table. Move the table alone to the new location and then move and place
the instrument on top of the table. Failure to observe these precautions could
result in tipping of the instrument and/or table and resulting injury to operator or
patient and damage to the instrument.
CAUTION: Make sure your USB devices are secured against malware/viruses. Patient data on
USB devices can become corrupted when inserting into computers for backup or transfer.
The use of anti-virus software on computers is recommended and is the responsibility of the
user.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Note: The HFA3 needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided herein.
Note: Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.
WARNING: The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those
specified may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the
equipment.
WARNING: The HFA3 should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment or system
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will
be used.
