Safety
Peripherals Connections
Do not connect AC power cords for peripherals to the AC power outlets on the
system unless the peripherals are specified by Philips as part of the system. The
risks associated with connecting such equipment to the outlets provided include
• Excessive power draw, resulting in possible fire or electrical shock hazards
• High-impedance ground connection
• Electromagnetic interference with other system devices
The outlets installed on this system are rated 115 V~60 Hz 500 VA maximum
total load. Use the outlets only for supplying power to equipment that is intended
to be part of the system. Do not connect additional multiple socket outlets or
extension cords to the system.
ARNINGS
• If you use peripheral equipment powered from an electrical source other than
the ultrasound system, the combination of the peripheral equipment and the
ultrasound system is considered to be a medical system. It is your responsibil-
ity to comply with IEC 60601-1-1 and to test the medical system according to
the requirements. If you have questions, contact your Philips representative.
• Do not use nonmedical peripherals, such as report printers, within 1.5 m
(6 ft) of a patient, unless the nonmedical peripherals receive power from an
isolated power outlet on the Philips ultrasound system, or from an isolation
transformer that meets medical safety standards, as defined by standard IEC
60601-1-1.
Philips ultrasound systems are tested to the requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC
60601-1-1, with system peripherals that are powered by the built-in isolation
transformer. The system peripherals meet general electrical safety usage require-
ments, but not necessarily medical device standards.
Devices connecting to the network interface of the ultrasound system must com-
ply with the applicable IEC or national standards. In addition, the device must be
certified to IEC 60950 or equivalent.
