3.2.2.5. FLAMMABLE GAS
Never use the system in the presence of flammable anesthetics, or other flammable gasses,
liquids, or vapors. Gasses and vapors can be ignited by electrical arcs that can occur during the
normal operation of power contacts, switches, circuit breakers, and other circuit components.
1. Before the system is turned on. If flammable liquids, gasses, or vapors are present before
the system is turned on, do not unplug the system and do not turn it on!
2. After the system is turned on. If flammable substances are detected after the system has
been turned on, DO NOT turn the system off! DO NOT touch any of the controls, switches,
or knobs! DO NOT unplug the system! Remove all personnel immediately and then
ventilate the room. Remove any liquids that are producing flammable vapors to a safe
storage area.
3.3 MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
Operate moveable assemblies and parts with caution. Inspect moveable assemblies and parts at
the intervals stated in this manual.
To prevent un-wanted movement of the mechanical c-arm assembly, always maintain control by
holding on to and then slowly releasing the mechanical locks.
Transport C-arm system as outlined in this manual. Never transport the C-arm without first
locking the mechanical brakes and Monitor support arm into the transport position. Failure to
perform the necessary steps to position and then lock the C-arm for transport can result in death
or serious injury to the operator and or patients.
3.3.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Only allow properly trained and qualified service personnel to access any internal parts. Live
electrical terminals are deadly! Be sure that line disconnect switches are open (off) and that
precautions are taken before opening access doors, removing enclosures and panels, and attaching
accessories. Do not remove access covers from the generator, control unit, or main power
assembly until the main and auxiliary power supplies have been disconnected. If you fail to
follow these instructions, you may be seriously injured or killed. There is always high voltage in
certain components of the system’s equipment, even when the system is disconnected from a
power source. Touching these components can cause death or serious injury.
Any Supplementary, third-party devices, and or components used in combination with the
ZIEHM QUANTUM must comply with the safety requirements according to IEC 60601-1
and/or IEC 60601-1-1 or furnish proof of an equivalent degree of safety. Combining the ZIEHM
QUANTUM with equipment which does not comply with IEC 60601-1 and/or IEC 60601-1-1,
will lower the safety classification, compromising the safety of the whole system, which may
result in serious injury or even death!
Non-compliance with IEC 60601-1 and or IEC 60601-1-1 may also result with invalidation of
warranty!
3.3.2 GROUNDING
The equipment may only be connected to power supplies with separate equipment grounding.
3.3.3 HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS
High Voltage system Components (50-60Hz)
• High-voltage transformer and x-ray tube assemblies (110,000 volts)
• Power transformers (220-230 VAC and 120 VAC)
