Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon that results in the flow of an electrical charge from a higher charged object or
person to a lower charged object or person. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low
humidity, which can be caused by heating or air-conditioning. During low humidity conditions,
electrical charges naturally build up on individuals and objects and can create static discharges.
The following cautions can help to reduce ESD effect:
CAUTION
The following precautions can help to reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets; anti-static
spray on linoleum; anti-static mats; or a ground wire connection between the system and
the patient table or bed.
CAUTION
On connectors labeled with the ESD sensitivity symbol , do not touch the connector pins,
and always observe the preceding ESD precautions when handling or connecting
transducers.
