System Safety Specifications
System Introduction and Network Basics on page 1-1 includes information
concerning the interconnection of equipment within the Ultraview Care Network.
Initial connection of auxiliary line-operated equipment to a monitor must be
performed by a hospital biomedical engineer or a Spacelabs Medical Customer
Service Representative. For further information or instructions regarding
interconnection of units, contact a qualified service person or your local Spacelabs
Medical representative.
After installation and/or interconnection with other units, the equipment leakage
current shall not exceed the local (provincial) acceptable values.
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (that is, IEC 950 for data
processing equipment and IEC 601-1 for medical equipment). All configurations
shall comply with the system standard IEC 601-1-1+A1. Everyone who connects
additional equipment to the signal input part or signal output part configures a
medical system, and is, therefore, responsible to ensure that the system complies
with the requirements of the system standard IEC 601-1-1+A1. If in doubt, consult
the technical service department or your local customer service representative.
All Spacelabs Medical equipment is intended for use with a fixed mains socket-
outlet. If a system is configured using multiple portable socket-outlets, this system
must be reviewed for compliance with IEC 601-1-1+A1, including the maximum
load and enclosure leakage currents requirements. The multiple portable socket
outlet cannot be placed on the floor. If the leakage limit is exceeded, a second
Protective Earth, fixed at both ends with a tool, may be necessary. This second
Protective Earth must be tested to the requirements of clause 18 of IEC 601-1.
Equipment weighing more than 20 kg is not portable. To lift heavy equipment,
support under corners and lift according to hospital procedures.
Use of patient cables, transducers, sensors and supplies other than those
specified by Spacelabs Medical may degrade equipment performance, including
defibrillation protection.
