ESD Training
The ESD Symbol
Anyone using the equipment must be able to recognize the ESD symbol and
understand how to take the necessary precautionary procedures, as described in the
caution below.
Explosion
hazards
WARNING
EH-w1
The equipment is not designed to be used in potentially explosive environments. It should
not be operated in the presence of flammable liquids or gases, or in oxygen-enriched
atmospheres.
There is a possible explosion hazard if the equipment is used in the presence of flammable
anesthetic. The system should be placed at least 25cm (10 inches) from the patient.
The ultrasound system contains a lithium battery. Never remove or replace this battery.
The lithium battery must not be removed except by a BK service representative.
Do not use a
power strip
WARNING
ES-w1
Do not plug the equipment into an ordinary power strip. If the ground connection fails,
this is dangerous because
•
the total leakage current for all the connected equipment can exceed the limits
specified in EN/IEC 60601-1
(Part 1: General requirements for safety).
•
the impedance of the ground connection could exceed the limits specified in EN/IEC
60601-1.
Electrical
shock
WARNING
ES-w3
You risk electrical shock if you try to get inside the equipment (other than opening a cover
to access connectors described in the user guide). Do not allow anyone but qualified
service personnel to service the equipment.
ESD
Caution
ESD-c1
Do not touch pins in connectors that have the ESD symbol
. Do not connect
anything to them unless you follow these ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautionary
procedures:
•
Discharge your body to ground before you touch the pins with your hand or a tool. For
example, touch an unpainted metal part of the system cover.
•
You can use a wrist strap connected to the additional protective ground or potential
equalization terminal on the system if that is more convenient.
