Dangers, Warnings and Cautions
Follow the dangers, warnings and cautions below when handing the EickView HD.
Danger!
• As a type BF applied part, the endoscope connected to the EickView HD must never be applied directly to the
heart of animal. Leakage current from the type BF applied part may be dangerous and cause ventricular
fi brillation or seriously affect the cardiac function of the animal. Always adhere to the following points:
– Never apply the endoscope connected to the EickView HD to the heart or any area near the heart.
– Never allow an endo-therapy accessory or another endoscope applied to or near the heart to come in contact
with the endoscope connected to the EickView HD.
• Strictly observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may place the animal and the medical personnel in
danger:
– When the instrument is used to examine an animal,do not allow metal parts of the endoscope or its accessories
to touch metal parts of other system components.
– Keep fl uids away from all electrical equipment. If fl uids are spilled on or into the unit, stop operation of the
EickView HD immediately and contact EICKEMEYER®.
• Do not prepare, inspect or use the EickView HD with wet hands.
• Never install and operate the EickView HD in locations where:
– The concentration of oxygen is high.
– Oxidizing agent (such as nitrous oxide) or fl ammable anesthetics are present in the atmosphere.
Warning!
• The system should be established with equipment complied with relevant EMC* standards for safety reason.
• Equipment which does not comply with EMC standard may cause interference and its function or performance
may be affected.
• Portable or mobile phones may infl uence the medical electrical equipment by their emitting energy.
• Please check thoroughly to make sure there is no interference or collision between the patient and other
equipment.
• The cables and accessories that do not conform to the equipment specifi cations shall not be used, as they may
increase the electromagnetic radiation of equipment or systems and reduce the interference immunity of the
equipment against electromagnetic interference.
• The equipment cannot be used with life support equipment, and the other equipment that have serious impact
on the lives of patients, or cannot be used with the treatment effect of other equipment or low current
measurement or treatment equipment in the same room.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, the equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective
earth.
