Safety
Instructions for use • AIDA C WD310 • AAB272_EN_V2.0_12-2021_IFU_CE-MDR 11
Disconnect the power plug before opening the housing.
3.8 Electromagnetic interference
Medical electrical devices are subject to special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility and must be installed and commissioned according to the tables on
electromagnetic compatibility. If other products (e.g., for MRT, CT, diathermy, electrocautery,
or RFID) emit electromagnetic radiation, the function of the product may be impaired. High-
frequency communication equipment can affect medical electrical devices and impair their
performance.
Do not use the product in the vicinity of a magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT).
Do not use the product next to or together with other devices. If such use is required,
monitor the product and the other devices, and follow the relevant instructions for use in
the event of malfunctions.
Portable RF communications equipment including peripheral devices (e.g., antenna cables
and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30cm from the product, including
cables specified by the manufacturer.
Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility, see chapter Electromagnetic
compatibility [p.95].
In case of uncertainties, seek expert advice from KARLSTORZ.
Before use, a clinical/biomedical engineer or an EMC specialist should carry out an ad-hoc
test of the electromagnetic radiation.
To prevent increased electromagnetic emissions or reduced electromagnetic immunity of
the product, only use accessories, transducers, and cables recommended or supplied by
the manufacturer.
In order to avoid exposing patients, users, or third parties to harmful electromagnetic
interference, the product must not be operated outside of its intended EMC environment.
Furthermore, the product must not be operated if the housing, cable, or electromagnetic
shielding equipment is damaged.
3.9 Damage due to ingress of liquid in electrical
components
In the case of electrical products, individual components or the product itself may be live.
Liquid ingress into an electrical product may result in a short circuit or an unintentional transfer
of current. The product is damaged as a result and patients, users and third parties may be
injured.
Do not store liquids near the product or on the product.
If liquid has entered the product, pull out the plug and allow the product to dry completely.
3.10 Risk of explosion and fire
The product can generate sparks, which cause combustible or flammable gases and liquids to
ignite or explode. This may cause injuries to patients, users, and third parties.
The product must not be operated in oxygenated environments.
Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres.
