General Safety Precautions
Valid for all ERT devices:
The connection of further power-operated units to your ERT unit may cause all the
leakage currents to add-up and the safety of the subject is reduced. Due to this,
the connection of further units may only be carried out on consultation with the
ERT Customer Care.
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective EN standards (e.g. EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore
all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard.
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.
If in doubt, consult the technical service department or your local representative.
Use of Multi-Plug Sockets
Due to increased safety requirements, medical devices/systems must only be
connected to multi-plug sockets if all regulatory requirements are met.
Additional mobile multi-plug sockets must not be connected to power sockets
of medical devices/systems.
Mobile multi-plug sockets of medical devices/systems must not be placed on
the floor.
Equipment (for example vacuum cleaner, radio, etc.) and devices which are not
part of the medical device/system must not be connected to the multi-plug
sockets.
Entanglement or strangulation by cables
Take care in arranging subject and cables to avoid risk of subject entanglement
or strangulation.
Radiated Interference
The ERT device meets the regulations according to EN 60601-1-2 regarding
the interference radiated and received. It is recommended not performing a
measurement with the device directly next to other equipment or in combination
with other devices in a stacked form, as this may result in faulty operation. The
device should not be installed in the vicinity of high-frequency devices, X-ray
equipment, motors or transformers with high installed power rating since electric
or magnetic interference fields may falsify the result of measurements or make
taking measurements impossible. Due to this, the vicinity of power lines is to be
avoided as well. Existing environmental interferences may cause deviations of
the measurement values without impairing the device’s function. Therefore, it is
recommended to keep a distance of about 2 meters from possible error sources
when using the device.
More detailed information can be found in the EMC tables of the instruction
manual of your device/system.
Devices connected to the MasterScope can also cause radiated interference.
Therefore the regulatory and safety related notes of the respective device
manufacturer must be followed.
Using other accessories, other transformers and other cables than those specified
or provided by the device’s manufacturer can result in increased electromagnetic
radiation or reduced electromagnetic immunity of the device and can lead to an
incorrect operation.
