Installation and Service Precautions
CAUTION: The da Vinci Si System may only be installed and serviced by Intuitive Surgical
personnel. DO NOT attempt to install or service equipment without Intuitive Surgical
personnel. To reduce risk of electric shock, DO NOT open or remove covers except as
instructed in this user manual.
WARNING: No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with protective earth.
Building Vibrations
It is possible for ambient vibrations in the building to be transmitted through the operating
room floor to the instrument tips. When present, such vibrations may be more noticeable
when using the da Vinci System in procedures where cannulae are not inserted through the
patient body wall. Be aware of this possibility when deciding where to install and when to use
the da Vinci System. The system has no specification for permissible levels of ambient
vibration.
Floor Angle
The da Vinci Si System must be installed on a level floor.
Laser Safety
Class 1 Laser Product: The IS3000 circuit boards may be equipped with optical
communication transmitters, which have been evaluated and found to be in compliance with
requirements found within 21 CFR (FDA-CDRH) and EN 60825-1 for Class 1 laser devices.
CAUTION: While Class 1 laser products are considered to be “eye safe” without the need
for additional protection, when working around the circuit boards, the following
general safety guidelines should be observed to reduce the risk of eye injury:
• Do not look or stare at optical fiber ports or optical fibers that are connected to a light
source
.
• Do not examine with optical instruments optic
a
l fiber ports or optical fibers that are
connected to a source. The use of optical instruments (for example, a magnifying glass)
may increase eye hazard.
• Adjustments and settings, maintenance, operational parameters and procedures other
than those specified and allo
w
ed herein and on the rating plate of the IS3000 may result
in increased eye hazard.
• Do not attempt to perform any repair or main
te
nance on optical communications
components. Repairs and maintenance outside that which is allowed herein must be
performed only by an authorized repair facility.
Transportation and Storage Precautions
When transporting or storing the da Vinci Si System, the Patient Cart should have the
