Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Precautions To Be Taken
Warning
The Agilia pump and its accessories are intended to be used in
the electromagnetic environments specified in the technical
manual.
The customer or the user of the Agilia pump should ensure that it
is used in such environments.
The Agilia pump must not be used in the presence of intense
electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by certain
electrically powered medical devices. Do not use the pump in
MRI.
Prolonged exposure to X-ray and CT Scan environments can
damage the electronic components of the device and influence
the flow rate accuracy. For a safe usage, we recommend to:
- always put the device at the maximum distance from the patient
and the source
- limit the presence of the device in such environments.
When mounted on the Agilia Link rack, the pump is intended to be used in the
electromagnetic environment specified in the Agilia Link rack IFU.
Outside the normal use described in this IFU, pump operation must be
systematically checked by a qualified operator, if the pump is installed in the
vicinity of other electrical devices.
Points (for example, screws or battery contacts) and surfaces that are only
accessible for maintenance also require to observe precautions.
Information
Electronic components and semiconductors can be destroyed by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). In particular, components made
with metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) can be damaged from
direct or indirect discharges. Damage caused by ESD may not be
immediately identifiable, and malfunctions can even occur after a
longer period of operation.
Exceeding and/or repeating the test level attained in guidance &
manufacturer's declaration on EMC may permanently damage
the device and/or cause serious malfunctions (for example, loss
of communication and system failures).
