Safety Information
T3300 Diagnostic Ultrasound System | 11 | B00601-010 4/10/17
• Harmful liquid protection:
– For the main system: IP21 (without power adapter)
– For the transducer: IPx7
– For the power adapter: IP20
– For maximum safety, observe the following guidelines strictly:
WARNINGS
• The system and patient-applied parts meet the standard IEC 60601-1. Applied voltages
exceeding the standard, although unlikely, may result in electrical shock to the patient or
operator.
• Shock hazards exist if the power adapter is damaged or is not properly grounded. Use
only the supplied medical grade power adapter.
• Plug the system into a hospital-grade, three-hole outlet, and do not circumvent the power
cord.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, connect the system only to properly grounded wall
outlets.
• Only authorized service technicians can make internal replacements of the system.
• Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gases or anesthetics. Explosion
can result. The system is not compliant in AP/APG environments as defined by IEC
60601-1.
• Do not use a transducer if the transducer or cable is damaged. Contact technical support
for replacement of the damaged equipment (See "Contact Information" on page 2).
• All peripheral devices connected to the system must comply with IEC 60601 or IEC 60950-
1.
• To avoid risk of electrical shock hazards, always inspect the transducer before use.
Check the face, housing, and cable before use. Do not use if the face is cracked, chipped,
or torn; the housing is damaged; or the cable is abraded.
• Transducer cables have strain reliefs at terminations. Inspect cables regularly to detect
damaged, frayed, or broken cables that might contact a patient.
2.2.1 Battery Usage/Disposal
WARNINGS
• Do not disassemble the system.
• Use only the supplied battery. Using an unapproved battery may cause the system to
explode and result in serious damage to your health or property.
• Do not replace, heat, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or incinerate the battery.
• Use only the supplied power adapter to charge the battery.
• Incorrect use of the battery may cause a leak of chemicals or explosion. The leak of
chemicals may harm the skin. If any chemicals leak from the device, use a dry cloth to
wipe it clean and contact your local BenQ Medical Technology representative for help.
