Summary:
The operation of programmable electrical medical systems (PEMS) requires the observance of and compliance
with the Medical Devices Act and safety standards, as described in the technical rules (standards) to ensure
quality and safe patient care. In particular, the third Edition of DIN EN 60601-1 is aimed much more to the
operator of telemedicine connections than the second Edition. To operate a safe and high quality tele-medicine
as tele-neurology network, the safety standards should be met.
[4.I]
Economic life-time
The economic life time of the product is determined at common usage and application to 20 years, provided that after 10
years all electrical parts and component are renewed (at damage or unusual heavy duty possibly earlier) and the
recommended maintenance intervals are kept. Every maintenance and repair work needs to be carried out by
authorized h/p/cosmos technicians. For expendable parts a shorter life-time is due.

Safety standards, norms
All h/p/cosmos running-machines are produced according to strict safety- and quality controls. The running machine
must not be used, if the certificates/permissions and the (according to the list of technical specifications) defined safety
standards do not correspond with the local and country-specific requirements. The country-specific requirements must
be compared before initial operation. Operate running machine only, if the requirements correspond. Full list of
applicable norms see also in the CE-certificate of compliance.
The standards with date in this manual with reference to design and construction characteristics, refer to the up to date
valid versions at the time of manufacture.
