Electrical Safety

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use commercial grade peripherals
WARNING:
recommended by SonoSite on battery power only. Do not connect these products to
the AC power connectors on the SiteStand mobile docking station when using the
system to scan or diagnose a patient/subject. Contact SonoSite or your local
representative for a listing of the commercial grade peripherals available from or
recommended by SonoSite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only properly grounded equipment. Shock
hazards exist if the AC power adapter is not properly grounded. Grounding
reliability can only be achieved when equipment is connected to a receptacle
marked "Hospital Only" or "Hospital Grade" or the equivalent. The grounding
wire must not be removed or defeated.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard, inspect the AC power adapter
cord and plug on a regular basis. Ensure they are not damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only accessories and peripherals
recommended by SonoSite. Connection of accessories and peripherals not
recommended by SonoSite could result in electrical shock. Contact SonoSite or
your local representative for a list of accessories and peripherals available from or
recommended by SonoSite.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring phenomenon.
Caution:
ESD is common in conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or
air conditioning. Static shock is a discharge of the electrical energy from a charged
body to a lesser or non-charged body. The degree of discharge can be significant
enough to cause damage to a transducer or an ultrasound system. The following
precautions can help reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets, anti-static spray on
linoleum, and anti-static mats.
Excessive bending or twisting of cables can cause a failure or intermittent
operation.
