Electrical Safety

WARNING:
2 Safety
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard, a multiple portable socket outlet
(MPSO) or extension cord should not be connected to the auxiliary mains socket
outlets on the MDS Lite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only properly grounded equipment. Shock
hazards exist if the power supply 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 power supply, plugs,
cables, and power cords on a regular basis for damage.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only accessories and peripherals
recommended by SonoSite, including the power supply. 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 recommend by SonoSite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use commercial grade peripherals
recommended by SonoSite on battery power only. Do not connect these products
to AC mains power when using the system to scan or diagnose a patient/subject.
Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of the commercial grade
peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite.
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)).
