with external conductive parts thus damaging the isolation level of the
equipment.
Do not connect additional Multiple Portable Socket-Outlet or extension
cord. Multiple portable socket-outlet or extension cord shall not be connected
to the system.
Observe the IEC 60601-1-1 and the IEC 60601-1-2 standards in case of
connection with other instruments. The connection of the equipment with
other devices is allowed only when the safety requirements for the patient, the
user and the environment are not compromised. If the Manual does not contain
enough information about the possibility of interconnection with other devices,
the user should contact the manufacturer or the nearest authorized servicing
center to have information about the effects that coupling devices may have on
the patient, the user and the environment.
Replace damaged parts immediately. Cables, connectors, accessories, or
other parts of the equipment must be replaced immediately when damaged or
not working correctly. In these cases, contact the nearest authorized servicing
center.
Do not connect items (accessories and peripherals) which are not specified
as part of the system expressley indicated by PREVENTICE. In order to
guarantee all the safety requirements, it is necessary to use only the accessories
and peripherals specified in this Manual as part of the system, which have been
tested with the equipment. The usage of accessories and consumer goods
supplied by other manufacturers or not specifically indicated by
PREVENTICE does not guarantee the safety and the correct working of the
equipment. Use only peripherals in compliance with the standards of the class
they belong to.
Check the functionality of the system before starting any recording. It is
strongly recommended to check the overall functionality of the system before
starting any recording. In case any anomalies or malfunctioning should be
noticed, immediately disconnect the patient from the system (if a patient is
already connected), switch off the system and ask for service to qualified
personnel. In particular (for example) if, with a patient connected to the
system, some anomalous tracing, like isoelectric or greatly artefacted signal,
should be noticed on the monitor during recording: in this case if the problem
should not be solved with the assembly standard technique (poor electrode
connection, broken lead etc) immediately acts as above, disconnect the patient,
do not use the system and ask for servicing.
Periodically check that all the system works regularly during “long term
recording”. During “long term recording” (more than one hour) it is strongly
recommended to periodically check that all the system works regularly without
any sign of malfunctioning. If any anomalies or flat traces should be noted act
as in the previous warning. In particular any electrode site used for long term
must be checked for irritation and redness. Check each electrode periodically to
