1.4 Safety-conscious Operation
1.5 Safety Facilities
1.6 Operation with other Devices
V Make sure that the staff have read and understood the operating instructions -
particularly this Safety Notes section.
V Immediately report any changes that impair safety (including operating
behaviour) to the person responsible.
V To ensure patient safety, the patient, electrodes, or any persons touching the
patient, must not come into contact with conducting objects (e.g. RS-232
interface) even if these are earthed.
V Operating the device with defective cables may constitute a danger to life.
Therefore:
– Do not operate the BP-200 plus if the earth connection to the transformer is sus-
pect or the mains lead is damaged or suspected of being damaged.
– Damaged cable connections and connectors must be replaced immediately.
V Use only accessories and other parts recommended or supplied by SCHILLER.
Use of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury, inaccurate
information and/or damage to the unit.
V Ancillary equipment connected to the analogue and/or digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore
all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard IEC/
EN 60601-1-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input
part or signal output part configures a medical system, and is therefore
responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the valid version
of the system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the technical
service department or your local representative.
V When the unit is used with a stress test system, any other equipment used with
the patient must use the same common earth.
V Precautions must be observed when using high frequency devices. Use the
original SCHILLER patient cables to avoid possible signal interference during
data acquisition.
V There is no danger when other electrical stimulation equipment. However, the
stimulation units should only be used at a sufficient distance from the electrodes
and transducers. If in doubt, the patient should be disconnected from the monitor.
V Portable communication devices, HF radios and devices labelled with the
symbol (non-ionic electromagnetic radiation) can affect the operation of this
device (see page 51).
