10 Chapter 3: Safety
WARNING:
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard:
• Inspect the power supply, AC power cords, cables, and plugs on a regular basis.
Ensure that they are not damaged.
• The power cord set that connects the power supply of the ultrasound system or the
stand to mains power must only be used with the power supply or docking system,
and cannot be used to connect other devices to mains power.
WARNING:
To prevent injury to the operator/bystander, the transducer must be removed from
patient contact before the application of a high-voltage defibrillation pulse.
WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock or electromagnetic interference, verify proper
operation and compliance with relevant safety standards for all equipment before
clinical use. Connecting additional equipment to the ultrasound system constitutes
configuring a medical system. SonoSite recommends verifying that the system, all
combinations of equipment, and accessories connected to the ultrasound system
comply with JACHO installation requirements and/or safety standards such as
AAMI-ES1, NFPA 99 OR IEC Standard 60601-1-1 and electromagnetic compatibility
standard IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility), and are certified according to
IEC Standard 60950 (Information Technology Equipment (ITE)).
Caution:
Do not use the system if an error message appears on the image display: note the error
code; call SonoSite or your local representative; turn off the system by pressing and
holding the power key until the system powers down.
Caution:
To avoid increasing the system and transducer connector temperature, do not block the
airflow to the ventilation holes on the side of the system.
