3. Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient’s and operator’s safety when using
this system.
DANGER:
Do not use flammable gasses, such as anesthetic gas,
oxygen or hydrogen, or flammable liquids such as ethanol,
near this system or the probe, because there is danger of
explosion.
WARNING:
1. Connect the adapter power plug of this system and
power plugs of the peripherals to wall receptacles
that meet the ratings indicated on the rating
nameplate. Using a multifunctional receptacle may
affect the system grounding performance, and cause
the leakage current to exceed safety requirements.
You must use the power adapter provided with the
system; otherwise electric shock may result.
2. Use the printing cable provided with this system to
connect the printer. Electric shock may result.
3. Connect the grounding conductor before turning ON
the system. Disconnect the grounding cable after
turning OFF the system. Otherwise, electric shock
may result.
4. For the connection of power and grounding, follow
the appropriate procedures described in this
operator’s manual. Otherwise, there is risk of electric
shock. Do not connect the grounding cable to a gas
pipe or water pipe; otherwise improper grounding
may result or a gas explosion may occur.
5. Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power
cord from the outlet. System failure and electric
shock may result.
6. This system is not water-proof. Do not use this
system in any place where water leakage may occur.
If any water is sprayed on or into the system, electric
shock may result. If water is accidentally sprayed on
or into the system, contact Mindray Customer
Service Department or sales representative.
7. Store and use the transducers carefully. Do not use a
transducer that has a damaged, scratched surface,
or exposed wiring of any kind. Immediately stop
using the transducer and contact Mindray Customer
Service Department or sales representative.
8. Do not allow the patient to contact the live parts of
the ultrasound system or other devices, e.g. signal I /
O ports. Electric shock may occur.
9. Only use the transducers provided by Mindray.
Otherwise, the system or the transducer may be
damaged, causing a profound failure, e.g. a fire in the
worst case.
