CAUTION
• Do not exceed the load capacity detailed in Chapter 7.
• Do not lean or stand on any part of the mobile workstation or accessory
as failure of the product may result.
• When assembling equipment onto the mobile workstation, the
installation should meet the requirements of EN IEC 60601-1
-1
:200

,
the safety standard for medical electrical systems.
• Before commissioning an installation including a separation transformer,
ensure its rating will not be exceeded by the equipment connected to it.
• When configuring a system, the user should ensure that there is
sufficient spare equipment available that in the event of a fault in any
part of the system, the endoscopy procedure may be completed or
terminated without endangering the patient.
• When installing the mobile workstation in the procedure or operating
room, ensure that the mains cable has sufficient slack that it cannot be
pulled taut as the mobile workstation is moved around the working area.
If necessary, relocate the mains connector to a nearer supply socket.
• Section 5.2 Manoeuvring gives detailed instructions and precautions
which must be read and understood before attempting to move the
mobile workstation.
• Spray type medical agents, such as lubricants, anaesthetic or alcohol,
should be used away from the mobile workstation.
• Keep open containers of liquid away from electrical equipment used on
the mobile workstation to prevent operator electrical shock and
equipment damage. Do not use the system if liquid has entered the
equipment.
• To minimise risk of injury, it is recommended that heavy items are placed
on the mobile workstation by two people working together. Ensure
electrical items used on the mobile workstation are positioned centrally
on the shelves.
• Never place any items on top of a monitor (if fitted) as these may topple
when the mobile workstation is moved.
• The electrical resistance of the conductive antistatic castors should be
tested at regular intervals in accordance with ISO 2878 to assess
antistatic effectiveness.
• Avoid contact of the castor wheels with oil and avoid a build up of floor
cleaning wax and polish as these will impair the antistatic effectiveness
of the castors.
