WARNINGS!
The Centurion
®
Vision System battery can only be serviced by a factory-trained Alcon
service engineer. Access by untrained personnel can lead to injury.
A qualied technician must perform a visual inspection of the following components
every twelve months:
• Warning Labels (see section one of this manual)
• Power Cord
• Fuses
In case of a deciency, do not use the system; call Alcon Technical Services.
A qualied technician must check ground continuity and leakage current every twelve
months to ensure they are within the limits of the applicable standards (for example:
EN60601-1/IEC60601-1). Values must be recorded, and if they are above the limits of
the applicable standards, or 50 % above initial measurement, do not use the system;
call Alcon Technical Services.
If the Centurion
®
Vision System is used at the 220 V - 240 V range in the United States
or Canada, it should be used on a center-tapped, 240 V single phase circuit.
Console isolation from mains is achieved through a two pole power switch. Turn OFF
power switch or unplug the power cord from wall outlet to achieve isolation from mains.
• Do not use the Centurion
®
Vision System near ammable anesthetics.
Do not exceed maximum capacity of drain bag (500 ml). Excessive pressure can result
from exceeding drain bag maximum capacity and potentially result in a hazardous
condition for the patient.
Inadvertent actuation of Prime or Tune while a handpiece is in the eye can create a
hazardous condition that may result in patient injury.
Keep clear of display base when raising display from stored position to prevent skin,
hair, and /or clothing from being trapped at the base.
The maximum allowable load on the instrument tray is 20 lb. (9 kg).
Place the instrument tray in the stored position prior to transportation to avoid a
situation that could cause the system to tip.
Console might overbalance when it is pushed and its wheels are immobilized (blocked).
Route the footswitch cable, power cord and any other cables connected to the
Centurion
®
Vision System to avoid tripping.
