Chapter 1 Safety
CAUTION:
X
The system has been designed for 100-120VAC and 200-240VAC; you should select the input
voltage of printer and VCR. Prior to connecting a peripheral power cord, verify that the voltage
indicated on the power cord matches the voltage rating of the peripheral device.
X
An isolation transformer protects the system from power surges. The isolation transformer
continues to operate when the system is in standby.
X
Do not immerse the cable in liquids. Cables are not waterproof.
X
The auxiliary socket outlets installed on this system are rated 100-120V and 200-240V with
maximum total load of 200W. Use these outlets only for supplying power to equipment that is
intended to be part of the ultrasound system. Do not connect additional multiple-socket outlets
or extension cords to the system.
X
Do not touch SIP/SOP and the patient simultaneously. There is a risk of electric shock from
leakage current.
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating
or air conditioning. During low humidity conditions, electrical charges naturally build up on individuals,
creating static electricity. An ESD occurs when an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in
contact with conductive objects such as metal doorknobs, le cabinets, computer equipment, and even
other individuals. The static shock or ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy build-up from a charged
individual to a lesser or non-charged individual or object.
CAUTION:
X
The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or patient to an ultrasound system
can be significant enough to cause damage to the system or probes.
X
Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using connectors marked with the
ESD warning label.
−
Apply anti-static spray on carpets or linoleum.
−
Use anti-static mats.
−
Ground the product to the patient table or bed.
X
It is highly recommended that the user be given training on ESD-related warning symbols and
preventive procedures.
