Electrical Safety
This system meets EN60601-1, Class I/internally-powered equipment requirements and Type BF
isolated patient-applied parts safety requirements.
This system complies with the applicable medical equipment requirements published in the
Canadian Standards Association (CSA), European Norm Harmonized Standards, and Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) safety standards. See Chapter 7, “Specifications.”
For maximum safety observe the following warnings and cautions:
Warning: To prevent musculoskeletal disorders, follow the “Healthy Scanning Guidelines”
found in Chapter 2 of this user guide.
Warning: To avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury, do not open the system enclosures.
All internal adjustments and replacements, except battery replacement, must be
made by a qualified technician.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not operate the system in the presence of flammable
gasses or anesthetics. Explosion can result.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only properly grounded equipment. Shock
hazards exist if the AC power supply is not properly grounded. Grounding
reliability can only be achieved when equipment is connected to a receptacle
marked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital Grade” or the equivalent. The grounding
wire must not be removed or defeated.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, before using the transducer, inspect the
transducer face, housing, and cable. Do not use the transducer if the transducer or
cable is damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the AC power supply from
the system before cleaning the system.
