The Basic should only be operated by properly trained staff. These persons
must not be hard of hearing or deaf and must have adequate visual faculty. The
training should be refreshed at least once a year.
Intended patient population
The Basic is intended to be used on patients only exhibiting conditions as
described in the indications for use.
Contraindications
When used for epicardial ablation: Do not apply suction over an artery or
aneurismal tissue. When used for off-pump coronary artery bypass: Do not
position the tissue stabilizers over a coronary artery, newly infarcted or
aneurysmal heart tissue. Do not attach stabilizers/positioners to: newly
infarcted tissue, aneurysmal tissue, directly over a coronary artery, fragile
tissue.
Important note
Compliance with proper surgical procedures and techniques is the
responsibility of the physician. Each physician must evaluate the
appropriateness of the treatment based on his own knowledge and experience.
OVERVIEW
Definition of vacuum
In the application of medical aspiration devices, vacuum is normally given as
the difference (in absolute figures) between absolute pressure and atmospheric
pressure or as negative values in Kilopascal (kPa). In this document, the
indication of –10 kPa for example always refers to a pressure range in kPa
below atmospheric ambient pressure (according to terms and definitions of EN

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects
and people.
NOTE 3: Proximity fields from RF wireless communication equipment were
tested according to Table 9 of IEC 60601-1-2:2014/AMD1:2020
- Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular / cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Basic are used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Basic should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal operation is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Basic.
- Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
