Safety precautions

External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output, or other connectors, must comply with the relevant IEC standard (EN/IEC 60601-1 series for medical electrical equipment). In addition, all such combinations (systems) must comply with the standard IEC 60601-1-1, Safety requirements for medical electrical systems.

Equipment not complying to IEC 60601 must be kept outside the patient environment, as defined in the standard as at least 1.5 meters from the patient or the patient support.

Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output, or other connectors has formed a system and is therefore responsible for the system to comply with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-1. If in doubt, speak

with a qualified technician.

Safety tips

•Never open the display case, even when the power is off. Dangerous voltage inside may cause electric shock or death.

•To avoid damage to the display, use the grounded power supply and video cable supplied by Planar, or use certified replacements.

•Be sure the display is electrically grounded. You must connect the third grounding pin on the US power cord to a grounded outlet. The European power cord does not have a third grounding pin, but it must be plugged into a grounded outlet.

•If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet you plan to use, have a licensed electrician replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. If the power cord connects directly into the computer, make sure the computer is grounded.

•Keep the display dry if it is part of a surgical system. The display lacks protection against liquids or spills.

•In locations where 240V outlets are used, connect the Dome display only to a center-tapped, 240V, single-phase supply (only for Canada and the United States).

GROUNDING RELIABILITY CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED WHEN EQUIPMENT IS CONNECTED TO AN EQUIVALENT RECEPTABLE MARKED “HOSPITAL ONLY” OR “HOSPITAL GRADE.”
