Manufacturer’s Declaration
Table 1 and Table 2 document the intended use environment and EMC compliance levels of the
system. For maximum performance, ensure that the system is used in the environments described
in this table.
The system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
Caution: To avoid the risk of increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity,
use only accessories and peripherals recommended by SonoSite. Connection of
accessories and peripherals not recommended by SonoSite could result in
malfunctioning of your ultrasound system or other medical electrical devices in the
area. Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of accessories and
peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite. See the TITAN Accessories
User Guide.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring phenomenon.
ESD is common in conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or
air conditioning. Static shock is a discharge of the electrical energy from a charged
body to a lesser or non-charged body. The degree of discharge can be significant
enough to cause damage to a transducer or an ultrasound system. The following
precautions can help reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets, anti-static spray on
linoleum, and anti-static mats.
