3 System Preparation
• Do not connect the three-wire cable of the system with a two-wire plug
without protective grounding; otherwise, electric shock may result.
• Do connect the power plug of this system to wall receptacles that meet the
ratings indicated on the rating nameplate. If adapters or multifunctional
receptacles are used, it may cause the leakage current to exceed the
safety requirement.
• In the environment that patient is 1.5 meters around, connect peripherals to
the auxiliary power outlet which is capable of isolation protection, or power
the peripherals by auxiliary output cable or isolation transformer complied
with IEC60601-1 or the power input of the same safety level.
• DO NOT use power supply of different phases to power peripherals, like
power supply of air-conditioning.
• When using peripherals not powered by the auxiliary output of the
ultrasound system, or using peripherals other than permitted by Mindray,
make sure the overall leakage current of peripherals and the ultrasound
system meets the requirement of the local medical device electrical
regulation (like enclosure leakage current should be no more than 500uA of
IEC60601-1), and the responsibility is held by the user.
3.1 Move/Position the System
Read and understand the safety precautions before positioning the system to ensure the safety of
both the operator and the devices.
1. Switch off the power, and pull out the power plug.
2. Disconnect all cables from the off-board peripheral devices.
3. Unlock the four casters; hold the handle to move the system.
4. When you move the system to a desired location, lock the four casters.
• Maintain a generous – free air flowing space around the back and both
sides of the system; failure may result due to increased rise in system
operating temperature.
• Pay extra attention when moving the system on a sloping ground, do not
move it on a more than 5°-sloped plane to avoid system toppling.
