
◾LCD displays are very sensitive to mechanical damage.
Avoid scratches, bumps, etc.
◾LCD displays are very sensitive to liquids.
Longer contact with the liquids can cause discoloration or can leave
calcium residue on the surface.
Droplets that run down between the panel and the frame can cause
damage or total failure of the panel!
1If possible, immediately clean any droplets of liquid.
2If a cleaning agent is sprayed directly on the display surface, make sure that
any droplets that run down are wiped off with a microfiber cloth before they
reach the edge of the panel.
3If the front of the panel is soiled, clean it with a microfiber cloth and, if
necessary, with a glass cleaning agent. Clean housing parts with a cleaning
agent for plastics only.
Cleaning agents for all other system parts
Some substances contained in disinfectants are known to be hazardous to
health. Their concentration in the air must not exceed the legally defined
limit.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when using the disinfectants.

8Keep the ventilation slots of all components unobstructed.
9Regularly clean the dust off all rails and joints etc.
Sterilization
Please observe your hospital's regulations concerning sterilization.
Information about unit movements
Because of the possible speed of movement of the stand and C-arm and the
tabletop, this system must be operated with particular care.
Collision protection
For reasons of safety the systems are equipped with collision sensors.
( Page 138 Safety equipment)
If one of the collision sensors is activated, further unit movements are blocked
and a message indicating that appears.
Dead man's grip
All unit movements are controlled with a dead man's grip (DMG), that is,
movements are performed only while the operating element is being actuated.
In the event of danger, the movement can be stopped immediately by releasing
the dead man's grip.
Danger of crushing
The patient and operating personnel must grip only the handles which are
intended for the proper handling of the equipment or positioning of the patient.
When it is not possible, attention must be paid to possible risks of injury by
crushing in the vicinity of moving parts.
◾Pay special attention to the risks of crushing fingers/hands between moving
parts and their guide openings.
◾Before performing unit movements make certain that the patients do not
grasp the frame of the tabletop.
Abnormal movements
If any part of the system moves although that movement was not released, for
example, if the display ceiling suspension moves downward by itself, there
might be a fault.
◾Shut down your system and call Siemens Service.
