WARNING
22. 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.
23. Multiple portable socket-outlet is not intended for the device, anybody, who connects
it to the signal input or output connector to configure a medical system, must make
sure that it complies with the requirement specified in Chapter 16 of IEC 60601-1, or
the multi-socket is with an isolation transformer.
24. SHOCK HAZARD - Don’t connect electrical equipment, which has not been supplied
as a part of the system, to the multiple portable socket-outlets supplying the system.
25. If a multiple socket-outlet is necessary, ensure that it is not placed on the floor.
26. Do not exceed the maximum permitted load when using multiple portable
socket-outlets to supply the system.
27. Do not use the additional multiple portable socket-outlet or extension cord in the
medical electrical system, unless it’s specified as part of the system by the
manufacturer. And the multiple portable socket-outlets provided with the system shall
only be used for supplying power to equipment which is intended to form part of the
system.
28. Do not touch accessible parts of electrical equipment and the patient simultaneously.
29. A damaged probe can increase the risk of electric shock if conductive liquids come in
contact with internal live parts. Inspect probes prior to use for cracks, openings, or
other damage that could allow liquid entry.
30. To avoid electrical shock, never modify the ultrasound system’s AC power circuits.
31. To avoid electrical shock and damage to the system, turn off and disconnect the
device from the AC power source before cleaning and disinfecting.
32. Don’t touch the signal input or output connector and the patient simultaneously.
33. To avoid the possibility of electrostatic shock and damage to the system, avoid using
aerosol spray cleaners on the monitor screens.
34. Any non-medical equipment is not allowed to be used within the patient vicinity
(1.5m/6ft.).
35. Periodically have the integrity of the system ground checked by a qualified service
engineer.
36. This device is not suitable for intracardiac use or direct cardiac contact.
