1.5.3. Electrical Safety
WARNING
1.
If
you have any questions about the grounding connection, use the battery but not the
AC power supply.
2.
To ensure grounding reliability, only connect the system to a hospital-grade power
receptacle.
3.
The AC power connector plug for the ultrasound system is a three-prong grounded
plug and should never be adapted to any two-prong (non-grounded) outlet, either by
modifying the plug or by using an adapter.
4.
To avoid electrical shock, never modify the ultrasound system’s AC power circuits. To
ensure grounding reliability, connect the system only to an equivalent outlet.
5.
SHOCK HAZARD-Do not attempt to connect or disconnect a power cord with wet
hands. Make certain that your hands are clean and dry before touching a power cord.
6.
No user serviceable parts are inside the system. All repairs on the system must be
performed by the manufacturer certified service personnel.
7.
The equipment should be installed by a qualified service engineer. Do not try to
access the interior of the main unit. Only authorized service personnel could remove
the unit cover.
8.
Before use, you must make sure that there is no visible evidence of damage on the
equipment, cables and probes, which may affect patient safety or diagnostic capability.
The recommended inspection interval is once per week or less. If damage is evident,
replacement is recommended before use.
9.
Equipment connected to the P3V and located in the patient vicinity must be powered
from a medically-isolated power source or must be a medically-isolated device.
Equipment powered from a non-isolated source can cause your system to exceed
leakage current limits. Enclosure leakage current created by an accessory or device
connected to a non-isolated outlet may add to the enclosure leakage current of the
imaging system.
10.
Use an extension cord or multi-socket outlet setup to provide power to the ultrasound
system or to the system’s peripheral devices, may compromise the system grounding
and cause your system to exceed leakage current limits.
11.
To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system, turn off and disconnect the
device from the AC power source before cleaning and disinfecting.
12.
When more than one medical device is connected to the patient, leakage current of
the devices is summed together. Take caution.
13.
Don’t touch the signal input or output connector and the patient simultaneously.
