VITACON VitaScan LT - Electrical Safety

VitaScan LT
User and Service Manual
Warning:
To avoid the risk of electrical shock
or injury, do not open the system
enclosure.
All internal replacements must be
made by a qualied technician.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not
operate the system in the presence
of ammable gasses or anesthetics.
To avoid the risk of electrical
shock, use only properly grounded
equipment.
Shock hazards exist if the 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. Run Tablet on battery
(internal electrical source) whenever
integrity of the external protective
earth conductor arrangement is in
doubt.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock,
before using the VitaScan LT,
inspect the housing and USB cable.
Do not use the VitaScan LT if these
are damaged.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock,
always disconnect the USB Cable
from the PC before cleaning the
system.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock,
do not use any transducer that has
been accidentally immersed in any
liquid, or has been immersed in
any liquid for cleaning or any other
purpose.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock,
do not touch Tablet/Computer
output connector (like USB port and
others) and the patient at the same
time.

Cauon:
Although your system has been
manufactured in compliance with
existing EMC/EMI requirements
(EN60601-1-2), use of the system in
the presence of an electromagnetic
eld can cause degradation of the
ultrasound image. If this occurs
often, Vitacon suggests a review of
the system environment. Identify
and remove the possible sources of
the emissions or move your system.
Medical Electric Equipment can be
a󰀨ected by portable or mobile RF
communication devices. Turn OFF
any portable or mobile RF device
before operating your system.
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
electrical energy from a charged
body to a lesser or non-charged
body. The degree of discharge can
be signicant 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.
Do not use the system if an error
message appears on the display:
note the error code; call Vitacon or
your local representative; turn o󰀨
the system.
