270+ Operating Manual                                                            

 

2.3.3.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS 

 

 

Use and store the instrument indoors only. It is recommended that the instrument 
be operated within an ambient temperature range of 15 

°C / 59 °F to 35 °C / 95 °F 

and in relative humidity between 30% and 90% (non-condensing). 

Do not use the device in the presence of fluid that can come into contact with any of the electronic components 
or  wiring.  Should  the  user  suspect  fluids  have  contacted  the  system  components  or  accessories,  the  unit 
should not be used until deemed safe by an authorised service technician. 

2.3.4.

 

ELECTRICAL AND ELECTROSTATIC SAFETY 

 

Before performing any service to the headphones or insert earphones you must 
remove the 270+ transducers from the patient. 

 

 

Do not touch the contacts on the back of the instrument and the  patient at the 
same time. The consequence could be a leakage current to the patient. 

Do  not  open,  modify  or  service  the  case  of  the  instrument.  Refer  servicing  to 
qualified personnel. 

This  equipment  is  intended  to  be  connected  to  other  equipment  thus  forming  a  Medical  Electrical  System. 
External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output or other connectors must comply with 
the  relevant  product  standard  e.g.  IEC  60950-1  for  IT  equipment  and  the  IEC  60601-series  for  medical 
electrical equipment. In addition, all such combinations 

– Medical Electrical Systems – must comply with the 

safety requirements stated in the general standard IEC 60601-1, (edition 3.1), clause 16. Any equipment not 
complying with the leakage current requirements in IEC 60601-1 must be kept outside the patient environment 
i.e.  at  least  1.5m  from  the  patient  support  or  must  be  supplied  via  a  separation  transformer  to  reduce  the 
leakage  currents.  Any  person  who  connects  external  equipment  to  signal  input,  signal  output  or  other 
connectors has formed a Medical Electrical System and is therefore responsible for the system to comply with 
these requirements. If in doubt, contact a qualified medical technician or your local representative. When the 
instrument  is  connected  to  a  PC,  or  other  similar  item,  beware  of  not  touching  the  PC  and  patient 
simultaneously. 

A  Separation  Device  (isolation  device)  is  needed  to  isolate  the  equipment  located  outside  the  patient 
environment from the equipment located inside the patient environment. In particular, a Separation Device is 
required when  a network connection is made. The requirement for the  Separation Device is defined  in  IEC 
60601-1 clause 16. 

Do  not  use  any  additional  multiple  socket-outlet  or  extension  cord. 

Use  only  the  Amplivox  Mains  Power 

Adaptor.

 

 

2.3.5.

 

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) 

 

Although  the  instrument  fulfills  the  relevant  EMC  requirements,  precautions 
should be taken to avoid unnecessary exposure to electromagnetic fields, e.g., 
from  mobile  phones,  etc.  If  the  device  is  used  adjacent  to  other  equipment  it 
must be observed that no mutual disturbance appears. Please also refer to the 
appendix regarding EMC.
