Safety instructions

3.1 General precautions

• Respect the conditions of use and storage (see §9).
• You are recommended to set up the device on a stable surface to prevent any risk of it
falling.
• Prior to each use, make sure the device does not have any rough surfaces, sharp edges or
protuberances which could lead to safety problems.
• Use only the accessories supplied with the device or recommended as options by SOPRO.
• The potential equalisation plug located at the back of the medical device can be used to
equalise the grounding potential of the medical device with that of all the devicees plugged
into the power main in the environment. Use the shared grounding system in the hospital or
the building. Connect the potential equalisation cable to the equipotential socket at the back
of the control unit.
• Unplug the device from the mains supply if you have no plans to use if for a few days or
longer.
• To unplug the power cord, pull on the plug. Never pull on the cord itself.
• The devices that connect to video or USB outputs should comply with the IEC 62368-1
standard.
• To prevent any errors or delays in diagnosis, you must make sure that the settings on the
monitor being used are optimised for the procedure being performed, such that they will allow
a clean, noise-free colour image to be obtained.
3.2 Electromagnetic interference and electrostatic
discharge
Although this product meets standards relating to EMC, it is possible under very specific
circumstances that it may cause interference to other devices, or that it may itself be affected
by other devices or an unfavourable electromagnetic environment.
To avoid such situations, you are recommended:
• To ensure the electrical supply network is of good quality (particularly that all devices and
trolleys are earthed);
• To keep the device away from sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g. compressor,
motor, transformer, HF generator etc.).
3.3 Using accessories not supplied by the
manufacturer
The medical device was designed and developed with its accessories or others offered as an
option to guarantee maximum safety and performance. The use of accessories from other
sources could put you and your patients at risk and could damage your medical device.
Even if the manufacturer or dealer of your accessory claims full compatibility with SOPRO
equipment, it is advisable to exercise caution with regard to the origin and safety of the
product offered. Look out for warning signs such as a lack of information, information in a
foreign language, very attractive prices, suspect appearance, mediocre quality or premature
wear.
In the event of doubt, contact an approved dealer or the Sopro after-sales service team.
