General Safety Instructions
• Before starting the N234-MI-1005, make
sure your medical appliance/systems permit
coupling with sufficient galvanic isolation
to the local network (LAN) or to another
computer.
Location
• During installation, ensure the
N234-MI-1005 is protected from moisture,
high humidity and mechanical damage.
The unit should not be operated in close
proximity to atmospheres with combustible
composites.
• The N234-MI-1005 should also not be
operated in close proximity to devices that
emit electromagnetic radiation so as to
avoid electromagnetic interference (e.g.
mobile phones). Avoid potential interference
by operating the N234-MI-1005 outside of
environments with electromagnetism.
• Do not use this equipment within oxygen-
enriched atmospheres, or within 0.3 m
(1 ft.) of a point at which an oxygen-
enriched atmosphere is intentionally vented.

General Safety Instructions
Connection
When connecting the N234-MI-1005 Medical
Isolator, note that:
• You cannot connect any telecommunication
appliances, voltage supplies or similar to
the N234-MI-1005. By doing so, both the
N234-MI-1005 and personnel could be
harmed.
• You can only connect network components
complying with IEEE 802.3 or IEEE 802.3ab
(10/100/1000BASE-T, Twisted-Pair) to the
N234-MI-1005.
• You use, without exception, tested
and approved Cat6 network cable with
appropriate test mark.
Environmental Protection
For disposal of the N234-MI-1005, stipulations
subject to public law may involve special
instructions. Before final decommissioning of
the appliance, contact the manufacturer.

Intended Use
The N234-MI-1005 is an appliance specially
developed for use in medical technology. The
purpose of the N234-MI-1005 is to connect in
compliance with electrical safety standards
IEC 60601-1 and EMC/IEC 60601-1-2 a
medical appliance or system equipped with a
network interface to a non-medical appliance
or system (single PC or local network).
Examples for using the N234-MI-1005 include:
• Connection to the practice or clinic networks
with the PC of a prolonged EEG system.
• Connection to an analysis computer in the
doctor’s or consulting room with an EMG
measuring station.
The last bullet point in the General Safety
Instructions section is to be observed for this.

Installation
Only qualified and trained personnel should
connect the N234-MI-1005. Please instruct
your network systems administrator or
medicine technology department for this
purpose. The installation of the N234-MI-1005
is performed by way of the two pluggable
connections (RJ45 jacks). Plug the network
connection cable into the socket of the
N234-MI-1005 until the lock engages with
an audible click sound. Installation of the
N234-MI-1005 should be performed near
the medical appliance/system. Make sure the
safety information in the Connection section
of General Safety Instructions is followed.

Maintenance
To maintain a safe technical condition, an
annual inspection is recommended. Review
and perform the following checks:
1. Examine unit for external damage (housing,
network connections, legibility of labeling,
dirt, etc.).
2. Examine unit for any substance penetration
inside of the unit (in particular, moisture).
3. Perform a function test.
4. Perform an isolation test. The isolation
resistance of the N234-MI-1005 should not
exceed 20 MOhms. During testing, all data
cables at both connections should be shut
down. The screen also should be shut down.
The isolation resistance should be measured
between signal entry and signal exit.
5. Review the availability and sufficiency of the
documents.
Should any deficiency be found during a
test, the N234-MI-1005 should not be used
any longer, as the safety of the patients
and the operator cannot be guaranteed.
If in doubt, please contact your supplier or the
manufacturer.

Cleaning
Use a dry or a moderately damp cloth to clean
the N234-MI-1005. Make sure no fluids or
moisture penetrates the device.
