Electrical Safety
This system meets EN60601-1, Class I/internally-powered equipment requirements and Type BF isolated
patient-applied parts safety requirements.
This system complies with the applicable medical equipment requirements published in the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA), European Norm Harmonized Standards, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety standards.
See the
MicroMaxx Ultrasound System User Guide , Specifications chapter.
For maximum safety observe the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING: To avoid discomfort or minor risk of patient injury, keep hot surfaces away from the patient.
Under certain circumstances, the transducer connector and back of the display enclosure can
reach temperatures that exceed EN60601-1 limits for patient contact, therefore only the operator
shall handle the system. This does not include the transducer face.
To avoid discomfort or minor risk of operator injury when handling the transducer connector, the
system should not be operated for more than 60 minutes continuously in a live-scan mode (as
opposed to freeze or sleep modes).
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury, do not open the system enclosures. All internal
adjustments and replacements, except battery replacement, must be made by a qualified
technician.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gasses or
anesthetics. Explosion can result.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only properly grounded equipment. Shock hazards exist if
the power supply is not properly grounded. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when
equipment is connected to a receptacle marked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade” or the
equivalent. The grounding wire must not be removed or defeated.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, before using the transducer, inspect the transducer face,
housing, and cable. Do not use the transducer if the transducer or cable is damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the power supply from the system before
cleaning the system.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not use any transducer that has been immersed beyond
the specified cleaning or disinfection level. See the
MicroMaxx Ultrasound System User Guide .
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard, inspect the power supply, AC power cord, and
plug on a regular basis. Ensure they are not damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only accessories and peripherals recommended by
SonoSite, including the power supply. Connection of accessories and peripherals not
recommended by SonoSite could result in electrical shock. Contact SonoSite or your local
representative for a list of accessories and peripherals available from or recommend by SonoSite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use commercial grade peripherals recommended by SonoSite
on battery power only. Do not connect these products to AC mains power when using the system
to scan or diagnose a patient/subject. Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of
the commercial grade peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite.
