3.6 System Connections
3.6.1 Third-Party Connections
General Information
It is possible to connect third-party devices to Kick 2 using compatible connection cables.
Interfaces
The third-party connection and electrical interfaces are located on the back side of the cart.
USB
USB ports are located on the connection panel and on the front of the cart base.
Scan USB flash drives with an antivirus software before connecting them to the system.
Only connect low-power or self-powered USB devices to the Monitor Cart for which compliance
has been tested (e.g., USB flash drive, mouse, keyboard, footswitch). Do not connect high-power
USB devices (e.g., external hard drive, smartphones, portable music players) to the USB 2.0 and
3.0 ports on the front of the cart base. Otherwise safety and effectiveness of the equipment cannot
be guaranteed.
Restrictions Connecting Equipment to Panels
Warning
Only connect equipment to the Kick 2 that is specified by Brainlab or for which Brainlab
has declared compatibility.
Warning
Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the
respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g., IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC
60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the
requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or clause 16 of the 3rd
edition of IEC 60601-1, respectively). Anyone connecting additional equipment to medical
electrical equipment configures a medical system and is therefore responsible that the
system complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. Please note that
local laws take priority over the above-mentioned requirements. In doubt, consult your
local representative or the technical service department.
Warning
Unless otherwise specified, the use of multiple socket outlet(s) or extension cords is not
permitted.
Warning
Connecting electrical equipment to a multiple outlet socket creates an ME system and can
result in a reduced level of safety.
LAN Connection
Only connect IEC compliant devices to the LAN ports.
Depending on the Brainlab application that is running on the system and the integration into the
hospital network, connecting a system to the network offers patient data transfer, remote access,
streaming and session sharing.
Networks must comply with 1000BASE-T or 100BASE-TX, according to IEEE 802.3.
