Safety Information
3.1 General information
The Rotary Chair is constructed to a maximum patient weight of 135 kilos
This instruction manual is a part of the instrument and should always be kept at hand.
It documents the state of development of the unit, valid at the time of printing, and contains all the
information required by the IEC 60601-1.
Exact adherence to the instruction manual is a prerequisite for the perfect and intended functioning of
the Interacoustics instrument.
Always be sure to disconnect the power supply before cleaning or disinfecting mains operated
instruments.
Interacoustics A/S only guarantees for the safety, reliability and function of the instrument, if:
installation, extensions, modifications and repair are exclusively carried out by personnel authorized by
Interacoustics A/S;
the room in which the equipment is installed complies with the country-specific regulation;
the installation site complies with the ambient conditions of the instrument;
the unit is used in accordance with the instruction manual after initiation in the operation;
The device is not conceived for operation in potentially
explosive rooms or flammable atmospheres.
If fluid gets into the instrument, the instrument will have to be switched off at once. The fluid must
immediately be removed by Interacoustics service technicians and the instrument tested for technical
safety. Defective connectors and leads must immediately be replaced or repaired by a specialist or by
personnel authorized by Interacoustics A/S.
3.2 Electrical safety
Protection Categories:
For the protection of patients and the operating staff, special, country-specific regulations for medically
used rooms and electro-medical equipment have been issued.
According to these regulations, mains operated equipment must have reliably isolated live parts as well
as an additional protection to prevent mains voltage from being passed onto unprotected parts.
The IEC 60601-1 has classified various protection categories.
Protection Category I, a protective measure with ground conductor, is primarily applied to electro-
medical equipment.
Protection Category I includes equipment whose metal case may be live in the case of an error and
which is connected to the ground conductor of the mains network via the ground contact. A circuit
breaker will be trigged if the insulation fails.
