General recommendations

Read the safety and operating instructions before operating the device.

Retain safety and operating instructions for future reference.

Adhere to all warnings on the device and in the operating instructions manual.

Follow all instructions for operation and use.

Electrical Shock or Fire Hazard

To prevent electric shock or fire hazard, do not remove cover.

No serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Modifications to the unit

Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.

Preventive maintenance

Periodic maintenance inspections are essential to keep the monitor in optimum condition and ensure safe operation.

With the monitor disconnected from the mains, perform the following periodic check:

• Check the integrity of the power cord and inspect its routing, so that it is not under the risk of being punched or cut.
• Check the integrity of the protective earth connection.
• Clean the area around the power plug. Dust and liquids may result in fire.
• Clean the ventilation slot of the monitor. Dust can obstruct the air flow and cause temperature increase of the electronics.

General recommendations:

• Keep the monitor clean to prolong its operational lifetime.
• LCD panel performance may deteriorate in the long term. Periodically check that it is correctly operating.
• Periodically check the tightness of the VESA mount screws. If not sufficiently tight, the monitor may detach from the arm, which may result in injury or equipment damage.
• In case the failover functionality is used, periodically check the OSD menu settings to verify the correct assignment of main and secondary input (backup) and perform a test to verify the correct activation of the backup input.

Type of protection (Electrical)

Equipment with internal power supply: Class I equipment

Degree of safety (flammable anesthetic mixture):

• Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• The equipment shall not be operable when the air oxygen content is above 25%.

Non-patient care equipment

• Equipment primarily for use in a health care facility that is intended for use where contact with a patient is unlikely (no applied part).
• The equipment shall not be used with life support equipment.
• The user should not touch the equipment, nor its signal input ports (SIP)/signal output ports (SOP) and the patient at the same time.

Mission critical applications

We strongly recommend there is a replacement monitor immediately available in mission critical applications.

Use of Electrical Surgical Knives

Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and other electronic equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical generator may cause interference with them. The interference can activate the OSD menu of the display and as such disrupt the functionality of the display.

Power connection – Equipment with internal power supply

• This equipment must be earthed.
• Power requirements: The equipment must be powered by the AC mains voltage.
• The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.
• The equipment is intended for continuous operation.

Transient over-voltage

To fully disengage the power to the device, please disconnect the power cord from the AC inlet.

Connections

• Any external connection with other peripherals must follow the requirements of clause 16 of IEC60601-1 3rd. Ed. or Table BBB.201 of IEC 60601-1-1 for the medical electrical systems.
• To maintain compliance with EMC Regulation, use only well shielded interface cables for the connection to peripheral devices.

Power cords:

• Utilize a UL-listed detachable power cord, 3-wire, type SJ or equivalent, 18 AWG min., rated 250 V min., provided with a hospital-grade type plug 5-15P configuration for 120V application, or 6-15P for 240V application.
• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this may result in fire or electric shock.
• Mains lead protection (U.S.: Power cord): Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked upon or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs and receptacles.
• Use a power cord that matches the voltage of the power outlet, which has been approved and complies with the safety standard of your particular country.

Grounding reliability

Grounding reliability can only be achieved when the equipment is connected to an equivalent receptacle.

Water and moisture

The equipment is IP20 compliant (IP21 for versions with protective glass).

Moisture condensation

• Do not use monitor under rapid temperature and humidity change condition or avoid cold air from air-conditioning outlet directly.
• Moisture may condense on the surface or inside of the unit, or create a mist residue inside the protection plate, this is not a malfunction of the product itself, although it may cause damage to the monitor.
• If condensation happens, let the monitor stand unplugged until there is no condensation.

Ventilation

Do not cover or block any ventilation openings in the cover of the set. When installing the device in a cupboard or another enclosed location, heed the necessary space between the set and the sides of the cupboard.

Installation

• Place the equipment on a flat, solid and stable surface that can support the weight of at least 3 devices. If you use an unstable cart or stand, the equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the equipment.
• Do not allow to climb or rest on the equipment.
• The monitor has been designed to be used in landscape position with a tilt of -10° (backward) and +10° (forward)
• When adjusting the angle of the equipment, move it slowly so as to prevent the equipment from moving or slipping off from its stand or arm.
• When the equipment is attached to an arm, do not use the equipment as a handle or grip in order to move the equipment. Please refer to the instruction manual of the arm for instructions on how to move the arm with the equipment.
• Provide full attention to safety during installation, periodic maintenance and examination of this equipment.
• Sufficient expertise is required for installing this equipment, especially to determine the strength of the wall for withstanding the display's weight. Be sure to entrust the attachment of this equipment to the wall to licensed contractors of Barco and pay adequate attention to safety during the installation and usage.
• All devices and complete setup must be tested and validated before taking into operation.
• At end user application level it is necessary to foresee a backup unit in case the video falls away.
• Barco is not liable for any damage or injury caused by mishandling or improper installation.

Malfunctions

Disconnect the equipment’s power cord from the AC inlet and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:

• If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
• If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the equipment does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
• If the equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

General warnings

• The device has no means to be incorporated in an IT-network in the clinical environment.
• The enclosure has to be checked upon collision damage, refer to qualified service personnel.
• The protective screen (if present) is made of tested high-resistance glass. Nonetheless there is the possibility that it may crack if subject to strong impacts. Evaluate and prevent the risk of possible breakages of the protective screen by correctly handling and positioning the monitor in the operating room.
• The monitor is intended for indoor use
• The monitor is not intended to be sterilized
• The monitor has not applied parts, but the front side of the LCD panel and the plastic enclosure have been treated as applied part because considered accidentally touchable by the patient for a time <1 minute.
