1.5 Safety-Conscious Operation
1.6 Safety facilities
Make sure that the staff have read and understood the operating instructions, in
particular this section Safety Notes.
Only operate the device in accordance with the specified technical data.
The device is CF classified. It is defibrillation protected only when the
SCHILLER original patient cable is used. However, as a safety precaution,
remove the electrodes before defibrillation, if possible.
Do not touch the unit casing during defibrillation.
To ensure patient safety, none of the electrodes, including the neutral electrode,
nor the patient or any person with simultaneous patient contact, must come in
contact with conductive parts, even when these are earthed.
Immediately report any changes that impair safety (including operating
behaviour) to the person responsible.
Do not place any liquids on the unit. If liquid is spilled on the device, immediately
disconnect the device from the mains and wipe it. The device must be serviced
before reusing.
Only connect the original SCHILLER patient cable to the patient socket.
If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, an electrode
becomes displaced, or an electrode resistance is too high, a lead-off indication is
displayed in the upper right part of the screen.
Only use accessories and disposables recommended or supplied by SCHILLER.
Use of other than recommended or supplied parts may result in injury, inaccurate
information and/or damage to the unit.
To prevent pacemaker malfunction, a distance of at least 20 cm must be
observed between the device and the pacemaker as soon as the Wi-Fi (wireless
LAN) module is switched on.
Operating the device without the correctly rated fuse or with defective cables
constitutes a danger to life! Therefore:
– Do not operate the unit if the earth connection is suspect or if the mains lead,
the power supply unit or the device is damaged or suspected of being damaged.
– Damaged cable connections and connectors must be replaced immediately.
– The electrical safety devices, such as fuses, must not be altered.
– Ruptured fuses must only be replaced with the same type and rating as the orig-
inal.

User Guide Operation with other Devices 1.7
CARDIOVIT FT-1
1.7 Operation with other Devices
1.8 Network safety
1.9 Maintenance
Accessory equipment connected to the analogue and digital interfaces must be
certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment).
Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the valid version of IEC/EN
60601-1. Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input part
or signal output part configures a medical system and is therefore responsible
that the system complies with the requirements of the valid version of IEC/EN
60601-1. If in doubt, contact the technical service department or your local
representative.
Any other equipment used with the patient must use the same common earth as
the CARDIOVIT FT-1.
Special care must be exercised when the unit is used with high-frequency
equipment. Use the special high-frequency SCHILLER patient cable to avoid
possible signal interference during ECG acquisition and to reduce the risk of
burns in case of a lack of potential equalisation. However, the stimulation units
should only be used at a sufficient distance from the electrodes and both devices
must be connected to the same potential equalisation. If in doubt, the patient
should be disconnected from the device.
This device can safely be used with pacemaker patients.
There is no danger when using this device simultaneously with electrical
stimulation equipment.
If the device is part of a medical system, only the original SCHILLER patient cable
must be used with, and connected to, the CARDIOVIT FT-1.
If the patient cable should become defective after defibrillation, a lead-off
indication is displayed on the screen (see Page 38).
Portable communication devices, HF radios and devices labelled with the
symbol (non-ionic electromagnetic radiation) can affect the operation of this
device (Page 104).
When the FT-1 is part of a network (LAN, WLAN, HIS, etc.), the operator of the
network/data coupling must take appropriate security measures to protect the
transmission of data. Networks that are not protected and maintained can lead to
failure of the data transmission or to incorrect transmission of data, which in turn
can result in danger to the patient. For further safety notes, see chapter 10.
Danger of electric shock! Do not open the device. There are no serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified technicians authorised by SCHILLER only.
Before cleaning and to isolate the mains power supply, switch the unit off and
disconnect it from the mains by removing the plug.
Do not use high-temperature sterilisation processes (such as autoclaving). Do
not use E-beam or gamma radiation sterilisation.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
Do not, under any circumstances, immerse the device or cable assemblies in
liquid.

Attention: non ionising electromagnetic radiation. The device contains an HF trans-
mitter (Wi-Fi).
The CARDIOVIT FT-1 radiates high-frequency electromagnetic energy and can dis-
turb other devices if not installed and operated in accordance with the user guide.
CARDIOVIT FT-1 However, there is no guarantee that no interference can occur in
certain installations. If the CARDIOVIT FT-1 causes interferences, these can be de-
termined by switching the device off/on or by transmitting/not transmitting ECG data.
The user can take the following measures to solve this problem:
• Increase the distance between the disturbed device and the CARDIOVIT FT-1. A
minimum distance of 20 cm must be kept between the device and a pacemaker.
• Turn the device to change the angle of radiation.
• Connect the device to a different mains connector.

• The CARDIOVIT FT-1 must not be placed in the vicinity of X-ray or diathermy units,
large transformers or electric motors.
3.1.2 Connection of external cable assemblies and ancillary
equipment
1. Connect the external power supply unit to the mains.
3.1.3 Potential equalisation
Danger of electrical shock. Do not operate the unit if the earth connection is
suspect or if the power supply unit/mains lead is damaged or suspected of being
damaged.
2. Connect the external power supply unit's output to the back panel. The mains
indicator lamp is lit.
3. Leave the CARDIOVIT FT-1 connected to the mains for 8 hours to fully charge
the battery (see Page 21).
4. Connect the potential equalisation cable.
5. Connect the patient cable (side panel).
6. Connect any ancillary and optional equipment (see Page 18). These may include
the following:
– Network cable
– USB barcode reader
The potential equalisation stud at the back of the unit is used to equalise the ground
potential of the CARDIOVIT FT-1 to that of all mains-powered equipment in the
vicinity. Use the hospital or building common ground. A yellow/green ground cable is
supplied as an option (article number 2.310320).
Danger of triggering ventricular fibrillation! If the CARDIOVIT FT-1 is used
together with devices that are designed for direct cardiac application, both
devices must be connected to the hospital/building common ground (potential
equalisation) to prevent equalising currents between different device potentials.
