1.3 Intended Purpose
•The suspension arm systems IDP 401, IDP 401 inverted, IDP 501 XL and IDP 501 XXL are
individually equipped. Depending on version and fitted equipment, they can be used for
the following:
—carrying and positioning of medical end devices in the operating room, in intensive
care, and in other medical environments.
—transport and withdrawal of media such as medical gases, vacuum and compressed air
(M6 service head only), electricity and data (e.g. telephone, nurse call, computer data,
etc.).
•The suspension arm system is suitable for continuous operation.
•The suspension arm system may be operated only by qualified medical staff with
appropriate qualifications.
•The suspension arm system may be cleaned and disinfected only by instructed hygiene
specialists.
•The suspension arm system may be serviced only by the operator’s technical specialists on
the basis of the applicable instructions.
The operator may operate the device only if an on-site functional test has previously been
performed by Gebrüder Martin or a person authorized by Gebrüder Martin. In addition, a
responsible person designated by the operator must have been instructed in the proper
handling, application and operation of the device, as well as in its permissible combination with
other medical devices, objects and accessories. This duly instructed officer shall subsequently
be responsible for familiarizing the operator’s staff with the device as the need arises.
We recommend documenting all user instructions in a medical device logbook. A copy of the
logbook is available from Gebrüder Martin.
The operational safety of the device must be verified at regular intervals, see section 10
“Inspection Plan”, page 113.

Revision 1 19
1.3.1 Improper Use
The suspension arm system and its components must not be loaded beyond their
maximum load-bearing capacity, see section 9.2 “Technical Data”, page 105.
Activation time of the electromagnetic brakes
The maximum switch-on time of the electromagnetic brakes of the suspension arm system
must not exceed 1 min:
•If the electromagnetic brakes are actuated for more than 1 min, the power supply unit
may switch off automatically to prevent overheating.
•If the power supply unit has switched off, then it must cool down for 10 min before it can
be switched on again, and must then be disconnected from the building’s power supply for
10 s. Only then can the standard operation of the system be continued. The maximum
switch-on time must not be exceeded, as this could result in safety shut-downs.
1.3.2 Contraindications
The suspension arm system must not be used in the proximity of strong magnetic fields.
No applied parts of type BF or CF in accordance with IEC 60601-1 may be directly connected to
the suspension arm system.

1.4 Warranty
Our Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale effective at the time shall apply. Agreements
diverging from these Standard Terms and Conditions do not restrict the legal rights of the
buyer.
Any warranty exceeding the above provisions shall require a contractual form and shall exclude
component-related vandalism, software updates and consumables.
Important Notices
The product may only be repaired by Gebrüder Martin or a qualified person or firm expressly
authorized by Gebrüder Martin to perform such work.
If the repair is carried out by a person or firm specially authorized by Gebrüder Martin, the
operator of the product is required to obtain from the repairer a certificate with details about

In all cases where a party other than the product manufacturer performed the work, repaired
products must be additionally marked with the repairer’s ID label.
Improper interventions or alterations performed by third parties during the period of limitation
shall void any and all warranty claims. Performing unauthorized actions on the product is
strictly prohibited at any time. Non-compliance will void any liability claim against
Gebrüder Martin.
Gebrüder Martin guarantees the safety and functional capacity of the system only if an initial
commissioning is carried out and the device is approved for operation with a declaration of
handover.
1.5 User’s Inspection
•Immediately upon receipt, the goods must be checked for completeness and potential
damage in transit.
•Notice of any such damage must be given immediately.
