1.4 Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient and operator’s safety when using this
system.
DANGER:
DO NOT use flammable gasses, such as anesthetic gas or hydrogen,
or flammable liquids such as ethanol, near this system, because
there is danger of explosion.
WARNING:
1. Do connect the adapter power plug of this system and
power plugs of the peripherals to well-grounded wall
receptacles that meet the ratings indicated on the rating
nameplate. Using a multifunctional receptacle may affect
the system protective grounding performance, and
cause the leakage current to exceed safety requirements.
Use the cable provided with this system to connect the
printer. Other cables may result in electric shock.
You must use the power adapter provided with the system;
otherwise electric shock may result.
You can only use the power supply method provided by
Mindray, other power supply modes (e.g. using a UPS) may
result in electric shock.
2. Connect the protective grounding conductor before turning
ON the system. Disconnect the grounding cable after
turning OFF the system. Otherwise, electric shock may
result.
3. 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 protective grounding may result or a
gas explosion may occur.
4. Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet. Failure to do so may result in system
failure and electric shock.
5. 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 or device malfunction may result. If water is
accidentally sprayed on or into the system, power off the
system immediately and contact Mindray Customer Service
Department or sales representative.
6. 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 a damaged or scratched probe is used.
7. DO NOT allow the patient to contact the live parts of the
ultrasound system or other devices, e.g. signal I/O ports.
Electric shock may occur.
