GENERAL INFORMATION ON USAGE AND MAINTENANCE
PATIENT’S ENVIRONMENT
When the patient or inspector may touch the devices (including the connecting devices) or
when the patient or inspector may touch the person that comes into contact with the devices
(including the connecting devices), the patient's environment is shown below.
In the patient's environment, use the device conforming to IEC60601-1. If you are compelled to
use any device not conforming to IEC60601-1, use an insulation transformer or the common
protective earth system.
Requirements for the EXTERNAL DEVICE
The external device connected to the analog and digital interfaces must comply with the
respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950-1 for data processing equipment and IEC
60601-1 for medical equipment).
Anybody connecting additional equipment to medical electrical equipment configures a medical
system and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements for medial
electrical systems. Attention is drawn to the fact that local laws take priority over the above
mentioned requirements. If in doubt, contact your dealer or TOPCON (see the back cover).
Do not use the power strip in the
patient's environment. Connect the
power supply of the device to the
commercial power supply.
