3.4 DIRECTIONS FOR THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
INSTRUMENT
- The surgical microscope may be used by qualied and trained users only, with all covers t-
ted.
- Only use the surgical microscope if it is free of defects.
- Operate the system only with all equipment in its proper position (e.g. all covers tted, doors
closed).
- Regularly check to make sure the users are complying with safety requirements.
- Provide comprehensive instructions and explain the warning messages.
- Assign and monitor responsibilities for commissioning, operating and maintenance.
- Use the surgical microscope in proper condition only.
- Do not place the drape to close to the instrument, as otherwise it can overheat and shut o.
- Inform your Leica representative or Leica Microsystems (Schweiz) AG immediately if you
detect a product defect that could potentially cause injury or harm.
- Only the following accessories may be used with the surgical microscope.
• Leica Microsystems accessories described in this user manual
• Other accessories, provided that these have been expressly approved by Leica as being
technically safe in the context.
- Use original accessories or approved Leica accessories only.
- Use only high-quality HDMI cables with a maximum length of 15 m.
- Use only monitors approved for medical purposes or equipped with an isolating transformer.
- Modications or repairs may be carried out by authorized trained personnel only.
- Use only original Leica parts in maintenance work.
- After maintenance or technical modications, readjust the instrument in accordance with
our technical specications.
- If the instrument is modied by or maintenance has been performed by unauthorized per-
sonnel, if the equipment is improperly maintained or if the instrument has been operated
improperly, Leica disclaims all liability.
- The owner or operator shall be held liable for the function of the system if the system has
been assembled incorrectly by individuals who do not belong to Leica Microsystems
(Schweiz) AG.
- The inuence on other devices by the Leica M320 surgical microscope has been tested in
accordance with EN 60601-1-2. The system passed the emissions and immunity test. The
standard preventive measures and safety regulations pertaining to electromagnetic and
other radiation have to be observed.
- Only the supplied power cord may be used.
- The power cord must have a protective conductor and must be undamaged.
- Use of accessories and cables other than those specied or provided by the manufacturer of
this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electro-
magnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
- The Leica M320 surgical microscope may be used only in closed rooms and must be placed
on a solid oor.
- Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the
LeicaM320, including cables specied by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.
- Like any other instrument in the operating theater, this system may fail. Leica Microsystems
(Schweiz) AG therefore recommends that a backup system be kept available during the
operation.
- Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the
respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 or IEC 62368 for data processing equipment).
Furthermore all congurations shall comply with the requirements for medical electrical
systems (see clause 16 of the latest valid version of IEC 60601-1). Anybody connecting
additional equipment to medical electrical equipment congures a medical system and is
therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements for medical electrical
systems. If in doubt, consult your local representative or the technical service department.
