easyTymp® Operating Manual
28
In order to comply with IEC 60601, use of the direct power adapter to mains for the thermal
printer when it is connected to the cradle is not permitted. The cradle connection provides
power for the thermal printer.
In order to maintain a high level of safety it is necessary to have the instrument and its power
supply checked according to the medical electrical safety standard IEC 60601-1 on a yearly
basis by a qualified service technician.
Please note that if connection is made to standard equipment like printers and network,
special precautions must be taken in order to maintain medical safety. Connecting this device
to other devices in order to make a system may cause the safety specifications to be invalid. It
is therefore recommended to insert a galvanic separation between the device and the host
computer, unless the computer is battery operated or supplied by a medical approved power
supply. Galvanic separation must fulfil the IEC 601-1.
