Important information
LINAK®products, within the scope of this manual, are not classified as medical electrical equipment or sys-
tems, nor do they fall within the scope of the EU Medical Device Directive/Regulation or other similar na-
tional regulations� The products are components to be built into a piece of medical electrical equipment by a
manufacturer�
To support the assessment and certification task of the complete medical electrical equipment or system
worldwide, LINAK provides certification, on a component level, according to the IEC 60601-1, (Medical
electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance) as recognised
components by NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories)�
Description of the various signs used in this manual:
Warnings
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in accidents involving serious personal injury�
Recommendations
Failing to follow these instructions can result in product damage�
Please read the following safety information carefully:
Ensure that all staff who are to connect, mount, or use the actuator system are in possession of the
necessary information and that they have access to these assembly instructions�
Persons who do not have the necessary experience or knowledge of LINAK products should not use these�
Moreover, persons with reduced physical or mental abilities must not use the products, unless they are
under surveillance or they have been thoroughly instructed in the use of the equipment by a person who
is responsible for the safety of these persons� Moreover, children must be under surveillance to ensure that
they do not play with the product�
Please be aware that LINAK has taken precautions to ensure the safety of the actuator system� The
manufacturer/OEM is responsible for the overall approval of the complete application�
LINAK recommends to use the actuators in push applications rather than pull applications�
LINAK actuators are not to be used for repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements�
For general pull applications or repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements in the application, please contact
LINAK A/S if in doubt�
LINAK actuators and electronics generally fall outside the IEC 60601-1 definition of applied parts and are not
marked as such�
However, assessing the risk whether actuators and electronics can unintentionally come into contact
with the patient, determines that they are subject to the requirements for applied parts� All the relevant
requirements and tests of the standard are carried out as part of the IEC CB* Scheme/NRTL** assessment�

General warnings
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in accidents involving serious personal injury:
The medical device manufacturer is responsible for the incorporation of a suitable safety
arrangement, if the actuator or lifting column is used for pull in an application where personal injury
can occur, which will prevent personal injury from occurring in case of actuator failure�
Note that during construction of applications, in which the actuator is to be fitted, there must be no
possibility of personal injury, for example the squeezing of fingers or arms�
The plastic parts in the system cannot tolerate cutting oil�
Assure free space for movement of the application in both directions to avoid a blockade�
The application and actuators are only to be operated by instructed personnel�
In applications with spline function, the blockage by an obstacle when the application is moving
inwards, the removal of the obstacle will cause the load to drop until the spindle hits the nut�
Do not turn the outer tube�
Do not use chemicals�
Inspect the actuator system regularly for damage and wear�
Do not expose LINAK actuator system components to high intensity ultraviolet radiation disinfection
lamps� This may damage the enclosure, supporting parts and cables�
LINAK actuators and electronics are not designed for use within the following fields:
• In the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide
• Planes and other aircrafts
• Explosive environments
• Nuclear power generation
If faults are observed, the products must be replaced�

Control Boxes | 8
A LINAK control box, actuator and accessory component must, in the final application, be placed
where it is not exposed to any impact� This is to prevent damage if a passer-by accidentally hits it
with an object or when cleaning the floor with a broom or a mop� On a medical bed e�g� this might
be underneath the mattress support platform� If necessary to mitigate this risk, additional protection
might be required�
To avoid unintended movement, prevent foreign objects or persons from unintentionally activating a
footswitch or a hand control at any time, for instance during normal use or maintenance�
If there is visible damage on the product it should not be installed�
If the actuator system makes unusual noise or smells, switch off the mains voltage immediately and
disconnect batteries, if applicable�
The products must only be used in an environment that corresponds to their IP protection class�
The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value 6-8)� See cleaning
section�
Irrespectively of the load, the duty cycle stated on the product label must NOT be exceeded�
The control box must only be connected to the voltage stated on the label�
Systems not specified for pull must only be used in push applications�
Fastening screws and bolts must be tightened correctly�
Specifications on the product label must under no circumstances be exceeded�
NOT TO BE OPENED BY UNAUTHORISED PERSONS�
Only use the actuator within specified working limits�

Control Boxes | 9
Be aware that during the design of medical devices, the risk of personal injury (for instance
squeezing of fingers or arms) must be minimised�
If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced�
All cables must be mounted in such a way that they are not trapped or exposed to tension or sharp
objects when the application is moved in different directions�

Control Boxes | 10
General recommendations
Failing to follow these instructions may result in actuator system damage:
The duty cycle printed on the actuator system label must always be respected� If exceeded, there is
a risk that the actuator system is damaged� Unless otherwise specified on the label, the duty cycle is
max� 10%, max� 2 min� in use followed by 18 min� not in use�
All detachable connections between components must be locked by the cable locking mechanism -
when applicable�
It is recommended to have options like quick release, manual lowering or similar built into the
system in case of power loss or system failure or if movement of the system is critical� After service it
is recommended to test the system for correct functionality before it is put back into operation�
Prior to assembly/disassembly, ensure that the following points are observed:
- The actuator system is not in operation�
- The mains current supply is switched off and the plug has been pulled out�
- Batteries - if applicable - may also power the system�
- Actuators are free from loads that could be released during this work�
Prior to operating the actuator system, check the following:
- Actuator system components are correctly mounted as indicated in the product-specific user
instructions�
- The equipment can be operated in its entire intended range of movement�
- Ensure that the load-supporting bolts can withstand the wear�
- Ensure that the load-supporting bolts are secured safely�
During operation:
- Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven movement� Stop the actuator system
immediately if anything unusual is observed�
- Do not sideload the actuator�
- Do not step on or kick any LINAK component�
When the equipment is not in use:
- Switch off the mains supply or pull out the plug in order to prevent unintentional operation�
Cables and plugs:
- It is important to remove the transport plastic bag before using the cable�
- When changing the cables on a LINAK®actuator system, it is important that this is done carefully in
order to protect the plugs and pins�
- Please ensure that the plug is in the right location and properly inserted before the cable lid is
mounted�

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EMC Warnings
Electromagnetic compatibility – general
LINAK®actuator systems bear the CE marking as an attestation of compliance with the EMC Directive
2014/30/EU� The systems are designed to meet all requirements of applicable standards and have
been tested to meet IEC 60601-1-2 requirements�
Emission:
LINAK Actuator Systems are CISPR 11, Group 1, Class B products, comply with IEC 61000-3-2, Class
A and IEC 61000-3-3 unless stated otherwise in the relevant section of this document�
Immunity:
Test levels are according to Professional Healthcare Facility and Home Healthcare Facility Environment�
Electromagnetic phenomena are evaluated on a system level, with the actuator connected to a LINAK
control box and accessories�
LINAK always recommends to perform verification tests on the final medical device�
Electromagnetic compatibility – third party components
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified by LINAK could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the actuator system
and result in improper operation�
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment in general
Use of the actuator system adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided as
this could result in improper operation� If such use is necessary, the actuator system and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating properly�
If the user notes unusual behavior of the actuator system, in particular if such behaviour is
intermittent and associated with the standing right next to mobile phones, microwaves and radio
broadcast masts, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference�
If such behaviour occurs, try to move the actuator system further away from the interfering
equipment�
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment, RF communications
Portable RF communication equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used at a distance no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the actuator
system� This also applies to cables specified by the manufacturer� Otherwise, a performance
degradation of this equipment could result�

Control Boxes | 13
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
LINAK®considers ESD to be an important issue and years of experience have shown that equipment
designed to meet the levels specified in standards might be insufficient to protect electronic equipment in
certain enviroments�
1. Handling and mounting electrostatic discharge sensitive devices (ESDS devices).
• Handling of sensitive components shall only take place in an ESD Protected Area (EPA) under protected
and controlled conditions�
• Wrist straps and/or conductive footwear (personal grounding) shall always be used when handling ESDS
devices�
• Sensitive devices shall be protected outside the EPA by the use of ESD protective packaging�
2. Responsibility LINAK/customer
• ESDS devices must under no circumstances, during transport, storage, handling, production or mounting
in an application, be exposed to harmfull ESD�
• LINAK can only guarantee the lifetime of ESDS devices if they are handled in the same way from
production at LINAK A/S until they are mounted in the manufacturer’s application� It is therefore
important that the ESDS devices are not removed from the ESD protected packaging before they are
physically within the EPA area at the customer premises�
Please refer to EN61340 for further information:

Batteries
General battery warnings
Handle batteries carefully� Do not short circuit the battery�
Avoid continuous battery discharge when the medical device is not in use, as this may cause lead
sulphate formation, which, if left in this state for too long, will irreversibly damage the battery�
LINAK battery packs may emit flammable gases� Do not expose the battery packs to fire or
equipment that emits sparks� Moreover, do not store the battery in a closed environment or
incorporate it into a closed structure of an enclosure as this may cause an explosion, fire, equipment
damage, or injury�
Handle tools carefully and do not wear jewelery when handling batteries� A short-circuit of the
battery terminals can cause burn injuries, damage or trigger explosions�
Only connect LINAK batteries to compatible chargers�
LINAK battery packs contain toxic substances� If the internal battery fluid leaks out and gets onto
skin or clothing, make sure it is washed off with clean water� Moreover, if the fluid gets into the eyes,
rinse them immediately with clean water and seek medical assistance�
Do not use or store LINAK battery packs in places where the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C,
such as inside a hot automobile, in direct sunlight, or in front of a stove or a source of intense heat�
Doing so can shorten the battery life, lower its performance level, cause the battery to leak fluid,
explode, cause fire, or be damaged�

Control Boxes | 18
Lithium ion batteries
Li-Ion batteries are moving in the direction of minimising the physical size and at the same time increasing
the capacity� This gives a very size-effective battery but with a high concentration of energy within a small
physical size� It also increases the risk of thermal runaway (see note below) due to internal short circuits�
The general use of Li-ion batteries has increased and the inherent risk of thermal runaway has led to stricter
rules within the transport industry, specifically air transport, with tightened restrictions placed on the
quantity to be transported and handled, and on the storage of specific products moving via air�
The OEMs and end users must recognise that although safe to use, there is still a very small risk of thermal
runaway in a Li-Ion cell� The size of that risk could be as little as 1PPM or even less�
LINAK currently bases our Li-Ion battery design on industry proven cell types that have a proven history
(e�g� electric cars)� The use of well-proven cell technology reduces the risk of thermal runaway, but it does
not eliminate it� LINAK has completed activities to reduce this risk and the complete battery package is UL
approved�
An external, internationally recognised expert has also reviewed the design to ensure that it is in accordance
with the recommendations� Further to that, LINAK only uses cells from well-recognised manufacturers�
When using Li-Ion batteries, LINAK recommends that the customer carries out a proper risk analysis for their
application� The risk analysis must also focus on non-mounted products that can be in direct contact with
flammable materials�
LINAK Li-Ion batteries have no more risk of thermal runaway compared to other Li-Ion cells from well-
recognised manufacturers within the market� Therefore, it is clear that LINAK cannot take responsibility for
any failures that occur due to Li-Ion battery inherent failures�
If any of the Li-Ion batteries built into LINAK products is found to be defective under warranty, LINAK will
provide a new product to the OEM�
LINAK explicitly disclaims all other remedies� LINAK shall not in any event be liable under any circumstances
for any special indirect punitive incidental or consequential damages or losses arising from any incident
related to the inherent risk of thermal runaway in the Li-Ion cell and any use of LINAK products� Moreover,
LINAK explicitly disclaims lost profits, failure to realise expected savings, any claim against our customers by
a third party, or any other commercial or economic losses of any kind, even if LINAK has been advised of the
possibility of such damages or losses�
Note: ‘Thermal runaway’ is overheating of a cell and it could lead to a small fire and smoke from the cell�
Transportation
The lithium ion batteries must be packed and transported in accordance with applicable regulations� Always
ask your local transportation provider how to handle the transportation of lithium ion batteries�
Please see the general assembly instructions and the mounting section for detailed information�

Control Boxes | 19
Warnings
When using Li-Ion batteries with patient lift control boxes, loss of power might happen due to the
battery deep discharge protection� This will only happen in case of continuous battery use despite
warnings� In this event, there may be no warning, and the application may not be able to move when
expected�
In his risk analysis, the customer must take into consideration how to assure alternative means to
make movement, for instance quick release or manual lowering�
Do not open the battery housing as damaging the cell or circuitry may develop excessive heat�
If product caution is not clearly visible at low light intensity, read the product label instructions
symbol� A warning must be included in the application manufacturer manual for the medical device�
The application manufacturer must test the application and ensure that intentional and unintended
operations do not exceed the battery specification limits�
Defective or damaged Li-Ion batteries are not allowed for transportation�
For safety reasons, please adhere to the indicated charging and operation temperature�
In case the battery is too hot, disconnect it, evacuate the room, and wait for 2 hours before taking
further steps�
Mounting instructions must be followed in order to avoid exposing batteries to water�
In general, recharging of battery must take place every 6 months� However, please note:
- New Li-Ion batteries, shipped from LINAK are in a deep-sleep state, where the self-discharge is very
little
- When mounted in an application, LINAK Li-Ion batteries wake up, resulting in a higher rate of
charge, depending on the application/system
- Application manufacturer must consider this idle consumption for his specific system and make
precautions to avoid discharged batteries�
- Contact your LINAK sales team for further information
If batteries are to be shipped by air, they shall not be charged to more than 30%
Disposal of the battery takes place in accordance with local regulations�
