Who must read this User Manual?
Knowledge of the User Manual is absolutely essential for correct operation of the unit.
The User Manual must therefore be read by everyone who works with the unit.
Anyone who prepares, sets, disassembles, cleans and disinfects the unit must also
read the User Manual.
Please pay particular attention to the safety instructions in each chapter.
Compliance with safety information
Working with medical units is associated with certain risks to patients, medical per-
sonnel and the environment. Risks cannot be entirely eliminated by design measures
alone.
Safety does not depend solely on the unit. Safety depends to a large extent on the
training of medical personnel and correct operation of the unit.
The safety instructions in this chapter must be read, understood and applied by every-
one who is working with the unit.
