6 HexaVue™ Integration System | HexaVue™ IP Integration System
OPM3200 Rev. G Operation Guide Safety Precautions
• If any liquid, object, or foreign substance enters the integration system, unplug the power cord and contact
STERIS Technical Support for assistance.
• If there are any unusual smells or sounds coming from your integration system, turn the system off, unplug the
power cord, and contact STERIS Technical Support for assistance.
• The HexaVue™ Integration System and HexaVue™ IP Integration System are not to be used for diagnostic
purposes.
• Do not service the integration system when it’s in use with a patient.
• Do not service the integration system when it’s powered on.
• If the UPS is disconnected from the wall outlet, it will continue to provide power to the integration system via
battery.
• Refer to “MAINTANENCE INSTRUCTIONS” on page 8 for preventative maintenance instructions.
Caution: Fire Hazard
• Do not connect items that are not specified as part of the system. This may cause damage, fire, or electric
shock.
• Do not remove or replace components of the integration system. This may cause electric shock or fire.
Contact STERIS Technical Support for assistance.
• Keep the integration system indoors and away from locations exposed to moisture, oil, or smoke. Not doing
so may cause damage, fire, or electrical shock.
• If the system is not in use for an extended period of time, turn it off and unplug it. Not doing so may degrade
insulation or allow dirt to accumulate, causing heat emission, electric shock, or fire.
• Never insert anything metallic (wire, tools, etc.) or flammable (matches, paper, etc.) into the openings or ports
of the system. This may cause damage, fire, electric shock, or bodily harm.
Caution: Equipment Damage
• In the event of a storm or lightning, you may want to disconnect the power plug from the outlet if power surges
are a possibility. Power surges can cause system damage.
STORAGE
• Prior to installation, store and ship the integration system and its power distribution box (if any) in a dry
location with temperatures between -4º Fahrenheit (F) and 140º F / -20º Celsius (C) and 60º C and a
barometric pressure of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa.
INSTALLATION
The following are guidelines followed by STERIS technicians during equipment installation.
• Install the integration system so you can reach the back of the system to disconnect its power.
• If a HexaVue™ IP Integration System is installed in an enclosure in the room, make sure the enclosure is well
ventilated with an air filter. STERIS also recommends that the enclosure has sound-proofing insulation.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
• When the unit is in a crate, move it only with a pallet jack or forklift. After it’s removed from the crate, the unit
should be moved only by STERIS installation or service personnel.
• Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put
into service according to the EMC information provided in the accompanying documents.
• Be mindful when locating installed equipment; portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect
medical electrical equipment.
• The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified, with the exception of
transducers and cable sold by STERIS for the use with the HexaVue™ Integration System and HexaVue™ IP
Integration System as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the integration system equipment.
• The integration system equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and if
adjacent or staked use is necessary, the integration system equipment should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
