Mindray DC-80A, Operator'S Manual

1-4 Safety Precautions
10. Do not allow the patient to come into contact with live parts of the
ultrasound system or other devices, e.g., signal I/O ports. This may
lead to electric shock.
11. Do not use an aftermarket probe other than those specified by
Mindray. Such probes may damage the system causing a profound
failure, with fire being the worst-case scenario.
12. Do not subject the probes to knocks or drops. Use of a defective
probe may lead to electric shock.
13. Do not open the covers or the front panel of the system. Short
circuit or electric shock may occur when the system hardware is
exposed and powered on.
14. Do not use this system when any digital device, such as a high-
frequency electrotome, high-frequency therapy device or
defibrillator, is already applied. This would result in a risk of electric
shock to the patient.
15. Only use the ECG leads provided with the physiology module.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
16. When moving the system, hold the handle. Failure to do so may
result in damage by abnormal force. Do not push the system from
the left/right side. This may cause it to topple over.
17. The system's auxiliary power output is used to supply power for the
recommended peripheral devices. Do not connect other devices to
the outlet. The rated output power limitation may be exceeded and
this may lead to failure. The maximum output power of the outlet is
240VA.
18. Additional equipment (analog or digital) connected to the
ultrasound system must comply with the relevant IEC standards
(e.g., IEC 60950 information technology equipment safety standard
and IEC 60601-1 medical equipment standard). Furthermore, all
configurations must comply with the standard IEC 60601-1. It is the
responsibility of the person who connects the additional equipment
to the signal input or output ports and configures a medical system
to verify that the system complies with the requirements of IEC
60601-1 in Chapter 16. If you have any questions regarding these
requirements, consult your sales representative.
19. Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards may result in hand or arm
nerve disorders for some individuals. Observe local safety or health
regulations concerning the use of keyboards.
20. When using intra-cavity probes, do not activate the probe outside
the patient’s body.
21. DO NOT touch the Signal I/O ports if in contact with the patient. This
may lead to electric shock.
22. To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
23. Connecting electrical equipment to MSO effectively leads to
creating an ME SYSTEM, and can result in a reduced level of safety
