1.5 Safety Precautions
WARNING and CAUTION messages must be observed. To avoid the possibility of injury,
observe the following precautions during the operation of the instrument.
WARNING
For using safety:
1 The monitor or FTS-3 telemetry system (hereinafter called FTS-3) is provided for the
use of qualified physicians or personnel professionally trained.
2 Only qualified service engineers can install this equipment. Only service engineers
authorized by the manufacturer can open the shell.
3 The monitor is not intended for use in intensive care units (ICU), operating rooms or
for home use.
4 Do not switch on the monitor until all cables have been properly connected and
verified.
5 EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or other materials.
6 SHOCK HAZARD - The power receptacle must be a three-wire grounded outlet.
Never adapt the three-prong plug from the monitor to fit a two-slot outlet. A hospital
grade outlet is required. If the outlet has only two slots, make sure that it is replaced
with a three-slot grounded outlet before attempting to operate the monitor.
7 SHOCK HAZARD - Do not attempt to connect or disconnect a power cord with wet
hands. Make certain that your hands are clean and dry before touching a power
cord.
8 Do not touch accessible parts of non-medical electrical equipment and the patient
simultaneously. Do not touch the signal input or output connector and the patient
simultaneously.
9 Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all
configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard IEC/EN
60601-1-1. Anybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input
connector or signal output connector to configure a medical system must ensure that
the system complies with the requirements of the valid version of the system
standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult our technical service department or
your local distributor.
10 Do not exceed the maximum permitted load when using multiple portable
socket-outlets to supply the system.
