Equipotential Bonding
In hospital, doctors and patients are subjected to dangerous, uncontrollable
compensating currents. These currents are due to the potential differences between
connected equipment and touchable conducting parts as found in medical rooms. The
safest solution to the problem is accomplished is consistent equipotential bonding.
Medical equipment is connected with connecting leads made up with angle sockets
to the equipotential bonding network in medical rooms.
Try to place the system far from power generators, X-ray machines, broadcasting
stations, and transmission lines to avoid electrical noise during scanning. Otherwise,
it may lead to abnormal result. An independent circuit and a safely grounded outlets
are strongly recommended for SONOST 3000. Poor or abnormal images may occur
if the system shares a power source with other electrical or electronic equipment.
