Danger zones M and G
In accordance with IEC 60601-1 / ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, the air motor is not suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres or with potentially explosive mixtures of anaesthetic substances containing oxygen or nitrous oxide .
The air motor is not suitable for use in oxygen enriched atmospheres .
Zone M, is defined as a »medical environment« and constitutes the part of a room in which potentially explosive atmospheres may form due to the use of anaesthetics or medical antiseptics and antibacterial soaps; such atmospheres are typically localized and temporary .
Zone M comprises a truncated pyramid below the operating table which is tilted outwards at a 30° angle .
Zone G, also known as an »enclosed medical gas system«, does not necessarily include areas enclosed around all sides, in which explosive mixtures are continuously or temporarily generated, directed or used in small quantities .
Cleaning and maintenance prior to initial use
Ensure that the air motor is in clean condition and sealed in polyethylene (PE) film when the product is first delivered .
> Lubricate the air motor prior to initial use .
> Sterilize the air motor prior to initial use .
> See lubrication instructions on page 22
> See lubrication instructions on page 25
