Sonoscape SSI-6000

SSI-6000/SSI-5800/SSI-5500/SSI-5500BW
Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System
– IEC 60601-2-37: 2001 + A1:2004 + A2:2005, Medical Electrical Equip-
ment Part 2-37: Particular Requirements For The Safety Of Ultrasonic
Medical Diagnostic And Monitoring Equipment
• The equipment conforms with the following EMC/EMI standards: IEC60601-
1-2: 2001+A1: 2004, Class A (CE)
• Degrees of protection against harmful liquid:
For the main sys-
tem:
IPX0
For the trans-
ducer:
IPX7, from the acoustic window to the junction line
(Figure 13.1);
and IPX1 for other parts that may contact with the
patient, excluding the transducer connector.
For maximum safety, adhere to these guidelines:
• Proper grounding of the system is critical to avoid electrical shock. For pro-
tection, ground the system with a three-conductor cable, and plug the sys-
tem into a hospital-grade receptacle or outlet.
• Do not remove or entangle the grounding wire.
• Do not remove the protective covers of the system. These covers protect
users from hazardous voltages. Only authorized service technicians can
make replacements of the parts inside the system.
• Never use this system while inflammable gas is present!
• Devices must be powered from a receptacle marked “hospital grade” be-
fore being connected to the system directly. In case “hospital grade” re-
ceptacles are not available, use isolation transformers instead.
1.9 Transducer Maintenance
The transducers/probes provided with the system are durable and have reliable
performance. These precision instruments should be inspected daily and handled
with care. Please observe the following PRECAUTIONS:
• Do not drop the transducer on the hard surface. This can damage the trans-
ducer elements and compromise the electrical safety of the transducer.
• Avoid kinking or pinching the transducer cable.
• Use only approved ultrasound coupling gels.
• Follow the instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the probes.
Disinfecting Surface Transducers
• Disconnect the transducer from the system.
• Wipe all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol solution and air dry.
• Clean all surfaces of the probe and cable with soft cloth.
