Safety related tip
– For safety tests (STC), it is assumed that the device is serviced and repaired through-
out its service life in accordance with the service manual. Because the Basic 30 is a
device of safety class lI (EN IEC 60601-1, A1, A2:1995), the safety tests (STC) are
confined to visual inspection of the housing and power cord. This test must be carried
out before each use.
– Testing the patient leakage current: Please see service manual for details.
– The protection of the Basic 30 against the effects of the discharge of a cardiac defibril-
lator is dependent upon the use of appropriate cables.
– Separation from the mains is only assured through the disconnection of the mains
plug and the fixed mains socket.
– Before you plug in the device, please check that your local power supply is the same
as the voltage given on the specification plate.
