1.2 General warning and precautions before use
1.2.1 General precautions before use
WARNING!
Unauthorised modifications, alterations or repair and lack of maintenance or
calibration of the AK 98 dialysis machine may result in malfunctioning or have other
serious consequences for the safe operation of the equipment.
WARNING!
The mains power cable from the AK 98 dialysis machine (cable length is 3.5 metres)
shall be connected to a socket with protected earth (PE) to avoid risk of electrical
shock.
WARNING!
To minimise the risk of arrhythmia due to leakage currents when a central venous
catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is close to the heart, it is necessary to
connect the potential equalisation conductor between the AK 98 dialysis machine
and the potential equalisation busbar in the electrical installation.
WARNING!
To minimise the risk of arrhythmia due to leakage currents from other electrical
equipment when a central venous catheter is used, and the tip of the catheter is
close to the heart, any equipment within the patient area shall have leakage current
values below respective limit required by CF type applied parts.
WARNING!
To protect the children, never leave children unattended near the dialysis machine,
its chemicals, disposables or accessories.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with protective earth.
WARNING!
Never use multiple socket-outlet when connecting the dialysis machine or WRO 300
to mains supply since it might lead to too high leakage currents during fault
conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use the AK 98 dialysis machine adjacent to or stacked with other equipment,
other than specified by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided
by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in
improper operation.
WARNING!
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) shall not be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the ME EQUIPMENT, including cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could be the result.
