If the mechanical protective device is intended to be used for one-time action only, the following requirements must be met:
- the mechanical protective device must be replaced before the (medical) equipment may be used again;
- the accompanying documentation must state that, once the mechanical protective device has been actuated, the maintenance personnel must be telephoned;
- the equipment must be permanently marked with the safety table code: 70120-W001 (table). maintenance personnel, and that the protective device must be replaced before the (medical) equipment can be put back into service;
- the equipment must be permanently marked with the safety code: 70120-W001 (see safety code 20 in Table D.2 );
- the code must be affixed in the immediate vicinity of the protective device or in a place that is clearly visible to the maintenance or overhaul personnel. Notes, see also 15.3.7
Check conformity as follows:
-Check the equipment, accompanying documents, documentation of crisis management, specifications of the materials used, parameters of processing specifications of the following materials: such as chains, wire ropes (wire ropes), springs, belts, jackscrew nuts, pneumatic or hydraulic hoses, structural parts and components like those used to support loads, by any convenient (Artificial) malfunction by any convenient means (this is to test the proximity of the protective devices); thereby causing the equipment to fall from the maximum reverse position permitted structurally under the maximum rated load. If the system carries a patient or operator, the load has included a safe workload as defined in 9.8.3.1.
Any sign of damage to a mechanical protective device affects its ability to perform its intended function, resulting in equipment failure.
(Translation: 1) Such mechanical protective devices, which are disposable, must be replaced after the excitation of the action in order for the equipment to continue to work;
2) Use artificial failures, such as: deliberately loosening the chain links, loosening the jack nut, and breaking the wire rope to test to see if the protective device can be excitation of the action. (Instead of testing, alone, the protective device itself--that's what the OP is saying)
