ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referred to as a static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by
heating or air conditioning. The static shock, or ESD, is a discharge of the electrical energy
buildup from a charged individual to a lesser or uncharged individual or object. An ESD occurs
when an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in to contact with conductive objects
such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals.
CAUTION
■ The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or a patient
to an ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause damage to
the system or probes.
■ Always perform the pre-ESD preventive procedures before using
connectors marked with the ESD warning label.
- Apply anti-static spray to carpets or linoleum.
- Use anti-static mats.
- Ground the product to the patient table or bed.
■ It is highly recommended that the user be given training on ESD-related
warning symbols and preventive procedures.
