General Safety Information
Protection against electrical hazard
Sources of voltage can give rise to currents as a result of body resistance which not
only ow through the patient but can also impair or even endanger the physician and
the nursing staff.
• Therefore, always connect the potential equalisation connector of the Chattanoo-
ga Intelect F-SW in accordance with national guidelines.
• Devices which are not medical products in accordance with EN 60601 must be set
up outside the vicinity of the patient.
• Do not touch electrical connectors while you are touching the patient.
• Disconnect the connected handpieces from the device before carrying out cleaning
and maintenance work. Do not reconnect them until they have been completely
reassembled!
• Do not try to open the instrument! Risk of electric shocks!
Protection against high voltage
Very high voltages are generated when operating the device.
High-voltage components are identied as follows:
DANGER!
Contact with high-voltage parts
Severe or fatal injury!
• Only operate the device if the housing is intact and closed.
• Work in the area of high voltage is only allowed to be performed
by personnel suitably authorised by the manufacturer.
Protection against noise
The noise level during administration of shock waves is within the safe area.
Nevertheless, we recommend wearing suitable ear protection during treatment in
order to minimise exposure to noise.
Protection against explosion
Do not use the Chattanooga Intelect F-SW in potentially explosive environments, i.e.
in the presence of a ammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous
oxide.
The optional foot switch must not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres accor-
ding to classication AP as per IEC 60601.
