• Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): Ensure that
any waste electrical and electronic equipment is collected separately
and returned to the locally designated recycling service for these types
of products.
• Batteries: Dispose of any end-of-life batteries according to local
regulations.
• Packaging waste: Ensure that any packaging waste is collected
separately for available national packaging collection and recycling
services. Packaging is 80% recyclable/renewable by weight.
1.10 Environmental Consideration of Waste Disposal
Laborie recommends properly disposing of any waste generated from
conducted studies to prevent environmental pollution. The waste should be
disposed of in such a way that it will not pollute the freshwater supply system,
especially the drinking water system. For facilities that outflow waste water to
sewage systems that include water-treatment processes and procedures, the
most convenient means of disposal is to use these sewage systems.
All external devices, supplementary equipment, and peripherals that you
connect to the FlowMaster system must meet the safety standards defined by
IEC/EN 60601-1. This applies to all data input/output ports (e.g., USB, HDMI,
serial).
If a safe system setup according to the IEC 60601 cannot be guaranteed, a
safety module is required. For more information, contact your Laborie
representative.
For those circumstances in which the computer that runs the FlowMaster
system software application must be connected to an IT-Network, be aware
that this connection can present unidentified security and safety risks,
including to patients, operators, or third parties. Laborie recommends that you
work with your network administrator to identify, analyze, evaluate, and control
these risks.
1.11 Troubleshooting
