Electrical Safety
This equipment has been verified by a recognized third-party testing agency as
a Class I device with Type BF and Type CF isolated patient-applied parts, and
Type B non-isolated patient-applied parts. (The safety standards met by this
system are included in the "Specifications" section.) For maximum safety observe
these warnings and cautions:
WARNINGS
• Shock hazards may exist if this system, including all externally mounted
recording and monitoring devices, is not properly grounded. Protection
against electrical shock is provided by grounding the chassis with a
three-wire cable and plug. The system must be plugged into a grounded
outlet. The grounding wire must not be removed or defeated.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, never connect the system power cord
to a power strip or an extension cord. When using the power cord, always
connect it directly to a grounded wall outlet.
• Use only Type CF transducers for invasive procedures. Type B and BF
transducers are insufficiently electrically isolated for invasive use.
