Symbols Used On The Device; Safety Information - Photonic PL 1000 Bedienungsanleitung

SYMBOLS USED ON THE DEVICE

Fuse symbol: Only use fuses of the type listed!
Intensity scale: The higher the value that you adjust, the more light you
obtain!
CE mark of conformity: It confirms the conformity with the Low-Voltage
Directive (lights) 73/23/EEC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.
cTÜVus mark: Confirms conformity with UL2601-1.
Lamps suitable for direct mounting on regularly flammable mounting
surfaces.
The year of manufacture can be identified by this symbol
and can be derived from the 1st (left) digit of the 5-digit
device serial number on the identification label. (e.g. 01234 means year
of manufacture 2000, 41234 year of manufacture 2004).
Some light sources are also available as medical version (identified by
the "BF" symbol shown here on the identification label) for applications
in medical areas. These light sources meet the lighting standard
EN60598 as well as the standard for medical electrical devices
EN60601-1, although the CE declaration for medical products must be
secured from the system manufacturer. The light source is considered
only as a component of a system and, by itself, does not feature any CE
declaration for medical products. Without this CE declaration, the light
source must not be used in medical areas. In addition, all national laws
must be followed. These MED light sources were built for application
components of type BF, i.e., the fiber-optics connection (flange) is isola-
ted from the remaining device and from protective ground.
The light source must not come into contact with the patient!!
Operation of the light sources in the US and Canada:
If the "cTUVus" symbol is listed on the identification label, the
device is built in conformance with UL2601-1. All other standards and laws
required for operation for medical products (FDA, FCC...) must be met by the
local dealer and demonstrated to the operator. Without these proofs, the device
must not be put into operation in medical areas.
In addition, it must be observed that these light sources must be equipped with
a special "hospital grade" or "hospital only" power cable. The light source must
not come into contact with the patient!!
