FUNCTIONAL CHECKS, PREPARATION, DISPOSAL
■ Regular maintenance and care of the measurement system helps to prevent damage and guarantees
its long-term safety. All of the procedures stated in these operating instructions regarding the
maintenance and preparation of the system are to be carried out on a regular basis.
■ If the measurement system or accessory parts show damage, they should be sent to the
manufacturer for a safety inspection. In the case of malfunctions and/or defects being suspected
and/or ascertained, the device has to be taken out of use immediately, labelled as 'Out of Use'.
■ All maintenance and servicing work on the measurement system or individual parts that are
extended beyond the activities described in the operating instructions may only be completed by
SICAT or persons authorized by SICAT.
■ Before beginning the preparation, switch the measurement system off under all circumstances and
disconnect it completely from the power supply network.
SPECIFIED REGULAR CHECKS AND TECHNICAL SAFETY
CHECKS
■ SICAT GmbH & Co. KG does not specify any technical safety checks for the SICAT JMT
+
system.
■ To maintain the proper status of the electrical operating equipment, it is necessary to carry out
repeated inspections and technical safety checks (e.g. in Germany according to BGV A3 accident
prevention regulations as well as technical safety checks pursuant to the German Medical Products
Operator Ordinance). In this context, it is necessary to ensure that these are not SICAT -specific
measures, but the current regulations regarding electrical devices.
■ For safety reasons, inspecting the proper state of all the connection cables, network cables, power
plugs and power sockets is recommended before every use of the measurement system. If parts are
damaged it is necessary to replace them before using the measurement system again.
■ Immediate servicing measures are to be carried out by SICAT if:
– any liquids/fluids entered the device.
– the cables or plug connectors show any damage.
– parts of the sensor technology are damaged.
– covers are damaged or have come off.
– a defect or fault is either suspected or ascertained.
■ If the name plate or other labelling (e.g. warning notices) on the machine are damaged or
unreadable, these are to be replaced.
