Safety notes
Danger zones M and G
In accordance with IEC 60601-1/ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, the control unit and the motor with cable are not suitable for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres or with potentially explosive mixtures of anaesthetic substances containing oxygen or
nitrous oxide.
Implantmed is not suitable for use in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
Foot control
is in accordance with IEC 60601-1/ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1 approved for use in zone M (AP). Zone M is defined as a »medical
environment« and constitutes the part of a room in which potentially explosive atmospheres may form due to the use of
anaesthesia or medical antiseptics and antibacterial soaps; such atmospheres are limited and only occur very briefly.
Please note that at low speeds, it is more difficult to determine that the motor is running.
Control unit
The control unit is classed as »conventional equipment« (closed equipment without protection against the ingress of water).
When using the transmission settings 20:1, Implantmed must only be employed with the following W&H-
approved surgical contra-angle handpieces: WS-75 E/KM, WS-75 LED G, WI-75 E/KM and WI-75 LED G. Use of
other contra-angle handpieces may result in deviation from the indicated torques and is the user’s responsibility.
The specified transmission ratios for the programs 1 to 5 must always be taken into consideration.
