Fire Safety
WARNING
On electrical or chemical fires, use only extinguishers that are specifically labeled
for those purposes. Using water or other liquids on an electrical fire can lead to
fatal or other serious personal injury. Before attempting to fight a fire, if it is safe
to do so, attempt to isolate the product from electrical and other supplies, to
reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Use of electrical products in an environment for which they were not designed
can lead to fire or explosion. Fire regulations for the type of medical area being
used should be fully applied, observed, and enforced. Fire extinguishers should
be available for both electrical and nonelectrical fires.
Mechanical Safety
A list of precautions related to mechanical safety follows; observe these
precautions when using the system:
WARNINGS
• Be aware of the wheels on the system cart, especially when moving the
system. The system could cause injury to you or others if it rolls over feet
or into shins. Use caution when going up or down ramps.
• When attempting to overcome an obstacle, do not push the system from
either side with excessive force, which could cause the system to tip over.
• Position external hardcopy devices away from the system. Ensure that they
are secure. Do not stack them on the system.
• When positioning the monitor, move it carefully to avoid pinching hands
or extremities against other objects, such as a bed rail.
• Never park the system on an incline.
• The brakes are intended as a convenience. To increase cart security, use
wheel chocks when the system is parked.
• If system operation is abnormal after you move or transport the system,
contact Philips Ultrasound Customer Service immediately. System
