6 Chapter 2: Safety
Equipment Safety
To protect your ultrasound system, transducer, and accessories, follow these precautions.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, inspect cables and power cords used within the system on a
regular basis for damage.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock to the patient/subject, do not touch the system battery
contacts while simultaneously touching a patient/subject.
To prevent injury to the operator/bystander, the transducer must be removed from patient
contact before the application of a high-voltage defibrillation pulse.
To avoid possible electrical shock or electromagnetic interference, verify proper operation and
compliance with relevant safety standards for all equipment before clinical use. Connecting
additional equipment to the ultrasound system constitutes configuring a medical system.
SonoSite recommends verifying that the system, all combinations of equipment, and accessories
connected to the ultrasound system comply with JACHO installation requirements and/or safety
standards such as AAMI-ES1, NFPA 99 OR IEC Standard 60601-1-1 and electromagnetic
compatibility standard IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility), and are certified according
to IEC Standard 60950 (Information Technology Equipment (ITE)).
Caution: Do not use the system if an error message appears on the image display: note the error code; call
SonoSite or your local representative; turn off the system by pressing and holding the power key
until the system powers down.
To avoid increasing the system and transducer connector temperature, do not block the airflow
to the ventilation holes on the side of the system.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of a burn hazard, do not use the transducer with high frequency surgical
equipment. Such a hazard may occur in the event of a defect in the high frequency surgical
neutral electrode connection.
Caution: Excessive bending or twisting of cables can cause a failure or intermittent operation.
Improper cleaning or disinfecting of any part of the system can cause permanent damage. For
cleaning and disinfecting instructions, see the
MicroMaxx Ultrasound System User Guide .
Do not submerge the transducer connector in solution. The cable is not liquid-tight beyond the
transducer connector/cable interface.
Do not use solvents such as thinner or benzene, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the system.
Remove the battery from the system if the system is not likely to be used for some time.
Do not spill liquid on the system.
Accessible metal of the mini-dock is not protectively earthed. Do not perform high current
grounding impedance test involving this part.
