Serial interfaces
The MCB interface (22, Fig. 6-1) serves for linking to an integrated surgery system,
as well as for the control of external accessories such as fume suction.
Accessories to be connected to the analog and digital interfaces of the unit must
demonstrably satisfy the applicable IEC specifications (e.g. IEC Standard 60950 for
data processing devices and IEC 60601-1 for electromedical equipment). Anyone
who connects additional units to the input or output section thereby configures
the system and is thus responsible for compliance with IEC 60601-1, sections 14.3
and 16, as most recently amended.
These external systems are not required to ensure the intended use. Malfunctions
of accessory equipment whose use on the interfaces is explicitly allowed by the
manufacturer in this documentation do not result in the maxium® smart C not
being used within its intended use. No other devices may be connected, especially
simultaneously with the regular use. In addition, the installation and version notes
of the manufacturers of these systems apply. Other PC systems may be connected
only for servicing and as long as the device is not used for medical purposes.
Devices by the manufacturer that are connected to these interfaces may undergo
an immediate update or upgrade via software. However, the maxium® ensures
that this does not lead to any unacceptable risks. Activation of the maxium®
smart C during the update/upgrade is not possible.
In case of any questions, contact the authorized dealer or the
Martin Service Center.
The USB connection (21, Fig. 6-1) is used for software updates.
6.3.4
Equipotential bonding connection
Equipotential bonding, aka potential equalization, is the conductive electrical connection of
the casings of units to each other and the ground. It ensures that the units will always, even
in case of an electric defect, have the same potential. Equipotential bonding is mandatory
for certain operating rooms, e.g. those for intracardiac interventions. It can be established
via the equipotential bonding connection (23, Fig. 6-1). The necessary connection cable is
not included in the scope of delivery and can be purchased as REF 80-260-50-04 if required.
