Preface
Identification
Manuals are identified by a part number. The part number consists of three
parts:
Example:
The part number is printed on the right bottom side of the front page.
Numbers printed on other pages are for internal revision control and may
differ.
CE Classification
Manuals made for products that have been CE (Conformité Européenne)
marked have the CE mark on the front page. The number behind the CE
Mark defines the responsible notified body.
Nucletron systems are classified according to IEC 601-1 as Class I, type B.
Nucletron systems meet the relevant provisions of the European Medical
Device Directive 93/42/EEC or the European Active Implantable Medical
Device Directive 90/385/EEC; this is based on conformity of the products
and the quality system according to ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003.
For this reason mark is used.

Directive WEEE
Symbol Meaning Remarks
Location: Near or on
the type identification
plate.
Symbol for separated collection of
electrical and electronic equipment per
Directive 2002/96 of the European
Parliament and the Council of the
European Union (Directive on Waste of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment). If
applicable to the type of device, it
indicates legally imposed obligations
within EU member states, Iceland,
Norway and Switzerland when the
equipment is disposed of, at the end of
its life-time.
Owners of marked equipment should
contact the organization that imported
the equipment into their country, when
they want to dispose of the equipment,
at the end of its lifetime. The Directive
prioritizes re-use of equipment over re-
use of components over re-use of
materials over disposal as waste. Article
5 part 2d allows producers to decline the
return of any used equipment that is or
may be biologically or radiologically
contaminated.
Conventions
Throughout this manual certain conventions are used. These are Warnings,
Cautions and Notes. They provide a means of prioritizing information to be
brought to the attention of the user. They are given as follows:
Warning: Designates a possibly dangerous situation. Non-observance may lead
to death or the most severe injuries
Caution: Designates a possibly harmful situation. Non-observance may lead to
minor injuries or damage to the product.
Note: Designates a possibly harmful situation. Non-observance may lead to
damage to the product or the environment.
Precautions
The user is expected to use the product (soft and hardware) in accordance
with the instructions given in this manual, which must be read before the
system is used. Any unauthorized deviation from the procedures laid down
in this manual can affect the contractual obligations between purchaser and
vendor.
Warning: Do not modify any part of Nucletron supplied computer's hardware,
software or software configuration. Installing or running an appli-
cation that has not explicitly been approved by Nucletron may
compromise patient safety and will result in termination of all
warranty and service contracts.
