Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient and operator’s safety when using this
system.
DANGER:
Do not operate this system and probes in an atmosphere containing
flammable gasses or liquids such as anesthetic gasses, hydrogen, and
ethanol, because there is danger of explosion.
WARNING:
1.
Do connect the power plug of this system to wall receptacles that
meet the ratings indicated on the rating nameplate.If adapters or
multifunctional receptacles are used, it may cause the leakage
current to exceed the safety requirement.
2.
In the environment that patient is 1.5 meters around, connect
peripherals to the auxiliary power outlet which is capable of
isolation protection, or power the peripherals by auxiliary output
cable or isolation transformer complied with IEC60601-1 3rd
chapter 16 or the power input of the same safety level.
3.
DO NOT use power supply of different phases to power peripherals,
like power supply of air-conditioning.
4.
When using peripherals not powered by the auxiliary output of the
ultrasound system, or using peripherals other than permitted by
Mindray, make sure the overall leakage current of peripherals and
the ultrasound system meets the requirement of the local medical
device electrical regulation (like enclosure leakage current should
be no more than 500uA of IEC60601-1 3rd chapter 16), and the
responsibility is held by the user.
5.
Connect the grounding conductor before turning ON the system.
Disconnect the grounding cable after turning OFF the system.
Otherwise, electric shock may result.
6.
For the connection of power and grounding, follow the appropriate
procedures described in this operator’s manual. Otherwise, there is
risk of electric shock. Do not connect the grounding cable to a gas
pipe or water pipe; otherwise, improper grounding may result or a
gas explosion may occur.
7.
Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power cord from the
outlet.System failure and electric shock may result.
8.
This system is not water-proof designed. Do Not use this system in
any place where water or any liquid leakage may occur.If any water
is sprayed on or into the system, electric shock may result or the
system may be damaged.If water is accidentally sprayed on or into
the system, contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales
representative.
9.
DO NOT use a probe that has a damaged, scratched surface, or
exposed wiring of any kind. Immediately stop using the probe and
contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales
representative.There is risk of electric shock if using a damaged or
scratched transducer.
