Putting the Device Into Operation and Performance Check

-
Electrically conductive contact with parts
connected to the heart (pressure transducers,
metal tube connections and cocks, guide
wires, electrode catheters and the metal parts
of syringes) must be avoided at all cost.
When using devices intracardially, observe
these guidelines:
-
always wear isolating rubber gloves;
-
parts with a conductive connection to the
heart must be isolated from ground;
-
do not use tube fittings and stopcocks made
of metal, if possible;
-
when connecting the heart catheter, observe
these guidelines:
- the connection must be isolated
- all electrodes must be attached to the pa-
tient and secured against inadvertent dis-
connection or they must be isolated and
protected against inadvertent contact (oth-
erwise electrodes that become disconnected
could bring the patient in contact with
ground).
-
When devices are used intracardially, the
annual Technical Inspections are mandatory.
During intracardiac application of medical
electrical devices, a defibrillator and pace-
maker, both checked for proper functioning,
must be readily available.
-
Ensure that no conductive connection between
the patient and bystanders exists during defi-
brillation.
-
The mains plug must be connected to an
appropriate power supply with a non-fused
earthed wire. If these requirements cannot be
guaranteed, connect the device to the ambu-
lance power supply or operate it on battery
power.
-
Do not use multiple portable socket outlets
(MPSO) to connect the device to the power
line.
-
Devices may be connected to other devices or
to parts of systems only when it has been made
certain that there is no danger to the patient,
the operators, or the environment as a result.
In those instances where there is any element
of doubt concerning the safety of connected
devices, the user must contact the manufac-
turers concerned or other informed experts as
to whether there is any possible danger to the
patient, the operator, or the environment as a
result of the proposed combination of devices.
Standards IEC 60601-1-1/EN60601-1-1 must
be complied with in all cases.
-
The device (without AC power adapter) is
suitable for application in a humid environ-
ment provided the regulations concerning
drip-proof equipment of IEC 60601/EN 60601
are strictly observed. However, do not defi-
brillate patients in a very moist or wet envi-
ronment, unless absolutely necessary. Always
dry the defibrillation electrodes and connec-
tion cables prior to defibrillation.
