3.3 ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
The
Keratron™ system functions in conjunction with a PC and relative
peripherals. The PC system (including the monitor and any additional
peripherals) to be connected to the device must be in compliance with
Standard EN 60601-1
f the device in question is connected to an apparatus whose compliance with
Standard EN 60601-1 is uncertain, the following are the risks:
Under normal operating conditions the risk of an excessive
DISPERSION
CURRENT
of the entire system towards the ground due to the dispersion current from
the non compliant device;
in the case of a single breakdown (interruption of the common protective
ground), the risk of an excessive dispersion current in the covering
resulting from the dispersion current from the noncompliant device
To avoid these risks, with a PC not compliant with EN 60601-1, we advise using
an isolation transformer placed between the PC (including the monitor and any
additional peripherals) and the wall power plug.
The PC, with its respective devices, must be positioned outside the patient area (at
least 1 metre away). Only the Keraton™ topographer can be positioned inside the
patient area.
Do not use mobile multiple power outlets for extension cords to power the
unit.
In case of use in the operating room, if several units are connected to the
patient or if these units are interconnected, have qualified personnel evaluate
any risks with regard to dispersion currents or system connections made
according to EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-1.
The operator should never touch at the same time the patient and parts
outside the patient area.
