Passing Your System to Another User
If you pass this system to another user who will use the system for its intended
purpose, then pass it on in its complete state. Particularly, ensure that all the
product-support documentation, including all instructions for use, are passed on
to the new user. Make the new user aware of the support services that Philips
Healthcare provides for installing, commissioning, and maintaining the system,
and for comprehensive operator training. Existing users must remember that
passing on medical electrical equipment to new users may present serious
technical, medical, privacy, and legal risks. The original user may remain liable,
even if the equipment is given away.
Philips strongly advises you to seek advice from your local Philips representative
before agreeing to pass on any equipment.
After you pass the system to a new user, you might still receive important
safety-related information, such as bulletins and field change orders. In many
jurisdictions the original owner has a clear duty to communicate such
safety-related information to new users. If you are unable or unprepared to do
this, inform Philips Healthcare about the new user, so that Philips Healthcare
can provide the new user with safety-related information.
Final Disposal of Your System
Final disposal is when you dispose of the system in such a way that it can no
longer be used for its intended purposes.
WARNING
Do not dispose of this system (or any parts of it) with industrial or domestic
waste. The system may contain materials such as lead, tungsten, or oil, or other
hazardous substances that can cause serious environmental pollution. The system
also contains privacy-sensitive information, which should be properly removed
(scrubbed). Philips advises you to contact your Philips service organization before
disposing of this system.
