NFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
Dräger recommends that:
Maintenance, modifications, and repairs are carried out by trained personnel.
Components are replaced with Dräger provided spare parts, otherwise the
correct functioning of the device may be compromised.
Devices are used in accordance with Dräger Instructions for Use.
General Electrical Safety
WARNING:
To protect the patient from possible injury due to
electrical shock:
Before putting a patient monitor into use, the installer
must verify that its leakage current meets the electrical
safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-1
(the safety standards for Medical Electrical Systems).
Connecting several medical devices to a patient
simultaneously increases the leakage current to which
that patient is exposed. Peripheral devices should only
be connected to a patient monitor within the same
room.
The installer or service provider should verify that the
interconnected system’s leakage currents meet the
electrical safety requirements mentioned above. The
installer or service provider should also verify that the
electrical safety classification of each device is
suitable for the intended application.
To avoid electric shock, inspect all cables before use.
Never use cables that appear cracked, worn, or
damaged in any way (doing so may compromise
performance or put the patient at risk).
To ensure that the device is properly grounded,
connect the AC adapter, communication power supply
module, and IDS power supply to a hospital-grade
outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid injuring the patient, do not touch any connector or mounting
screw on the device when you are touching the patient. Do not allow the conductive
parts of electrodes and cables to ever contact other conductive parts or ground, either.
NOTE: The potential equalization terminal can help ensure that a voltage difference
does not exist between multiple pieces of equipment.
