Installation: Requirements
:$51,1*6
CABLES — Route all cables away from patient's throat
to avoid possible strangulation and to prevent interfering
with the monitor's attachment to the docking station.
SITE REQUIREMENTS — For safety reasons, all
connectors for patient cables and sensor leads are
designed to prevent inadvertent disconnection, should
someone pull on them. Do not route cables in a way that
they may present a stumbling hazard. For devices
installed above the patient, adequate precautions must
be taken to prevent them from dropping on the patient.
INTERFACING OTHER EQUIPMENT — Devices may
only be interconnected with each other or to parts of the
system when it has been determined by qualified
biomedical engineering personnel that there is no danger
to the patient, the operator, or the environment as a
result. In those instances where there is any element of
doubt concerning the safety of connected devices, the user
must contact the manufacturers concerned (or other
informed experts) for proper use. In all cases, safe and
proper operation should be verified with the applicable
manufacturer's instructions for use, and system
standards IEC 60601-1-1/EN 60601-1-1 must be complied
with.
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST — When interfacing with
other equipment, a test for leakage current must be
performed by qualified biomedical engineering personnel
before using with patients.
DROP HAZARD — Verify the equipment mount used to
hold both the docking station and the patient monitor
will support a minimum of 30 pounds (13.60 kg).
Otherwise, serious injury or death could result.
