Control measures, Preparation, Disposal
Scheduled maintenance of the system is essential in order to prevent dam-
age and guarantees the safety of the device. All methods concerning the
system’s
maintenance and disinfection mentioned in this user manual should be carried out on a
regular basis.
Should any malfunctions and/or defects be determined or suspected, the device must
be put out of operation immediately, marked as "Out Of Service" and prevented from
being used by removing the mains cable. In such case be sure to contact the manufac-
turer or an authorized sales partner.
The maintenance of the device or its accessories, going beyond the procedures de-
scribed in this user manual, must exclusively be carried out by zebris Medical GmbH or
a person who has been explicitly authorized by zebris to do this.
Be sure to switch of the measuring system and disconnect it from mains supply before
starting any maintenance work.
6.1
Mandatory periodic inspections
For maintaining the correct state of the electrical equipment, checks and
technical safety inspections have to be carried out repeatedly (e.g. within Germany,
acc. to BGV A3, and accident prevention regulations and technical safety tests ac-
cording to the Medical Device Operating Regulations). Here it should be noted that
standard regulations for electrical devices are concerned here and not measures
that are specific to zebris.
For safety reasons it is recommended before each use of the measuring system, to
check the correct state of all the connection leads, as well as the mains cable,
mains plug and mains socket. Should certain parts be damaged, these must be re-
placed before continuing to use the measuring system.
Immediate maintenance measures are to be carried out if:
a) Fluid enters the device
b) Cable or cable connections have been damaged
c) Parts of the sensors were damaged
d) Covers have been damaged
e) A malfunction or a fault is suspected or has been detected
If the type plate or other important labels (warning notices) are damaged or oblite-
rated they have to be replaced by the manufacturer for safety reasons.
