Technical Guide to safety, use and maintenance of the system
5.
The position of the single parts of the system on the trolley or the support table must not
be changed. During the transport of the devices particular attention must be paid that
violent movements or dropping do not occur.
6.
The trolley renders the system
easy to move
but not
transportable
. The cart is not intended
for displacement of the system which are long, frequent or requiring passing steps or
thresholds. If the use environment requires these characteristics, pay particular attention to
the displacement instructions and periodically check the cart conditions.
7.
The passing of level differences (i.e. thresholds, steps, obstacles, cable guards) must be
performed by lifting entirely the cart and then resting it gently on the floor after the obstacle.
This require the cooperation of two operators.
8.
The cart is designed to support exclusively the weight of the system.
8.1.
Do not lean on the keyboard shelf when using the keyboard.
8.2.
Do not step or place the feet on the cart shelves, wheels supports or wheels.
8.3.
Do not lean on the upper part of the cart or on the monitor/PC mounted on the
VESA support when the cart is braked: the carts could tilt and fall.
9.
The handle is designed for horizontal movement of the trolley and only horizontal forces
must be applied to it. Do not lean heavily on the handle or push it down (for example, to tilt
the carriage).
10.
The movement of the system must be carried out exclusively by pushing or pulling the
handles intended for the purpose. Pulling or pushing the system by grasping it in other
places (for example the keyboard tray, the monitor or the PC) can lead to damage to the
support systems, which are not designed to carry the weight of the entire system.
11.
The cable between the applied parts (EEG headbox) on their stand and the rest of the
acquisition system can create stumbling hazards when left on the floor. Slide the cable into
areas that are not normally accessible by users and patients.
12.
Being a modular system having devices endowed with an arm or stand for the supports of
some parts, special care must be taken to ensure that their position does not cause danger
to users by creating obstacles to movement in the vicinity of the system itself.
13.
Disconnect the device when it is not used for long periods of time, by turning off the power
switch positioned on the isolation transformer case in order to assure the separation of all
the powered elements from the mains.
14.
No accessible parts of the system reach elevated temperatures during normal functions;
however it is necessary to leave all the ventilation holes and slots free.
15.
All the warnings relative to the patient and user safety shown in the user manuals of the
various components of the acquisition system must be taken into consideration.
16.
Inspect the containers, the accessories and the power and communication cables to notice
eventual damages made by shipment and report all problems to your MICROMED S.p.A.
representative before using the device.
