Explosion hazard
Never operate the equipment in the presence of flammable or
explosive liquids, vapors or gases. Malfunctions in the unit, or
sparks generated by fan motors, can electrically ignite these
substances. Operators should be aware of the following points
to prevent such explosion hazards.
• If flammable substances are detected in the environment,
do not plug in or turn on the system.
• If flammable substances are detected after the system has
been turned on, do not attempt to turn off the unit, or to
unplug it.
• If flammable substances are detected, evacuate and
ventilate the area before turning off the unit.
Electrical hazard
If any defects are observed or malfunctions occur, stop
operating the equipment and perform the proper action for the
patient. Inform a qualified service person and contact a Service
Representative for information.
To avoid injury
• Do not remove the unit's protective covers. No
user-serviceable parts are inside. If servicing is required,
contact qualified technical personnel.
• Connect the attachment plug to a hospital-grade grounding
outlet to ensure adequate grounding.
• Never use any adaptor or converter of a three-prong-to
two-prong type to connect with a mains power plug. The
protective earth connection will loosen.
DANGER
The hazards listed below can seriously affect the safety of
personnel and equipment during a diagnostic ultrasound
examination.
WARNING
The internal circuits of the unit use high voltages, capable of
causing serious injury or death by electrical shock.
