Electrical safety classification
Equipment safety
To protect your ultrasound system, transducers, and accessories, follow these precautions.
Class I equipment The ultrasound system is classified as Class I equipment
when powered from the external power supply or mounted
on the stand because the external power supply is a Class
1 protectively earthed power supply.
The stand has no protective earth. Ground bond testing is
not applicable to the ultrasound system or the stand.
Note:AC powered peripherals that may be used with the system
are Class I and are individually protectively earthed. Ground bond
testing may be conducted on each AC powered peripheral.
Internally powered
equipment
The ultrasound system is classified as internally powered
equipment when powered from internal battery packs (not
connected to AC power).
Type BF applied parts Ultrasound transducers
Ingress Protection IPX0 Ultrasound system (on the stand)
Ingress protection IP22 Ultrasound system (off the stand)
IPX-7 (watertight
equipment) Ultrasound transducers
Non AP/APG Ultrasound system including power supply, stand elements,
and connected peripherals is not suitable for use in the
presence of flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or
oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Mode of operation Continuous
WARNING:
When transporting your system, to avoid possible injury from the system
tipping, always lower the clinical monitor and push forward on the bar on the
platform instead of pushing downward on the bar or pushing the clinical
monitor.
Caution: Excessive bending or twisting of cables can cause a failure or intermittent
operation.
Caution: Improper cleaning or disinfecting of any part of the system can cause
permanent damage. For cleaning and disinfecting instructions, see the
“Cleaning and Disinfecting” chapter in the Sonosite PX user guide.
Caution: Do not submerge the transducer connector in solution. The cable is not
liquid-tight beyond the transducer connector/cable interface.
