Safety Precautions 1-3
1.4 Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient and operator safety when using this
system.
DANGER:
Do not operate this system and probes in an atmosphere containing
flammable gases or liquids such as anesthetic gases, hydrogen and
ethanol, because there is danger of explosion.
WARNING:
Connect the power plug of this system to wall receptacles that meet
the ratings indicated on the nameplate. If adapters or multifunctional
receptacles are used, it may cause the leakage current to exceed the
safety requirements.
2.
Within 1.5 meters of the patient, connect peripherals to an auxiliary
power outlet which is capable of isolation protection, or power
peripherals by an auxiliary output cable or isolation transformer
which complies with IEC 60601-1 in Chapter 16 or a power input of
the same safety level.
DO NOT use different-phase power supplies to power
peripherals, such as air conditioning power supply.
4.
When using peripherals which are not powered by the
ultrasound system's auxiliary output, or peripherals other than
those permitted by Mindray, ensure the overall leakage current of
peripherals and the ultrasound system meets the requirement of
the local medical device electrical regulations (e.g., the touch
leakage current should be no more than 500uA as per IEC 60601-
1 in Chapter 16), and the responsibility is held by the user.
Connect the grounding conductor before turning the system ON.
Disconnect the grounding cable after turning the system OFF.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
For connecting power and grounding, follow the appropriate
procedures described in this operator’s manual. Failure to do so
may result in the risk of electric shock. Do not connect the
grounding cable to a gas pipe or water pipe. This may lead to
improper grounding or a gas explosion.
7.
Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power cord from the
outlet. Failure to do so may result in system failure and electric
shock.
8.
This system is not waterproof. Do not use this system in any
location where water leakage may occur. If any water is sprayed on
or into the system, this may lead to electric shock. If water is
accidentally sprayed on or into the system, contact the Mindray
Customer Service Department or a sales representative.
9.
DO NOT use a probe that has a damaged or scratched surface, or
exposed wiring of any kind. Immediately stop using the probe and
contact the Mindray Customer Service Department or a sales
representative. There is a risk of electric shock if using a damaged
or scratched probe.
