At the completion of the calibration procedure it is required that the mains power
be turned OFF and then turned ON again to return the Accusonic Plus to the
normal operation mode.
WARNING: If the mains power is removed or turned OFF prior to the
completion of the calibration of an applicator the whole procedure
will need to be repeated.
4.2 Electrical Safety Inspection
A program of regular electrical safety inspections for this equipment is
recommended. The type and frequency of testing may be obtained from locally
published standards. In Australia, the relevant standards are:
AS 3511 - 1988 Acceptance testing and in-service testing -
Electromedical equipment
AS 2500 - 1986 Guide to the safe use of electricity in patient care.
A hospital biomedical engineering department or third party service organisation
nominated by the manufacturer or distributor would be capable of performing the
necessary testing and providing suitable documentation.
Programmed electrical safety inspections are recommended to confirm
continued operator and patient safety. Other mandatory statutory requirements
for electrical safety inspections may also apply.
4.3 Disassembling/Assembling the Unit
If required disassembly and assembly of the unit should be undertaken with
extreme care to avoid damage to the surfaces of the enclosure. Whenever the
unit has to be turned upside down, place it on a soft surface or thick cloth.
Disassembly of the unit is as follows:
- Place the unit upside down on a soft cloth. Remove the four pozi-
head screws around the perimeter of the base. Two are located
close to the front edge of the base and two are located close to the
rear edge of the base.
- Turn the unit up the right way and carefully lift the top away from the
base. The two halves can now be separated sufficiently to allow
access to all components.
Assembly is a reverse procedure of the above with several precautions. They
are:
- Observe that any connectors, cables or wires that were removed
are correctly reinstated and are not fouled or crushed.
-Avoid over tightening the screws which secure the top to the base.
