Important Information
1.1 Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient and operator’s safety when using this
system.
U.S.A. Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
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.
• Do not connect the three-wire cable of the system with a two-wire plug
without protective grounding; otherwise, electric shock may result.
• Do connect the power plug of this system to wall receptacles that meet the
ratings indicated on the rating nameplate. If adapters or multi-functional
receptacles are used, it may cause the leakage current to exceed the
safety requirement.
• In the environment that patient is 1.5 meters around, connect peripherals to
the auxiliary power outlet, or power the peripherals by auxiliary output
cable or isolation transformer complied with IEC60601-1 or the power input
of the same safety level.
• DO NOT use power supply of different phases to power peripherals, like
power supply of air-conditioning.
• When using peripherals not powered by the auxiliary output of the
ultrasound system, or using peripherals other than permitted by Mindray,
make sure the overall leakage current of peripherals and the ultrasound
system meets the requirement of the local medical device electrical
regulation (like enclosure leakage current should be no more than 500 uA
of IEC60601-1), and the responsibility is held by the user.
• Connect the grounding conductor before turning ON the system.
Disconnect the grounding cable after turning OFF the system. Otherwise,
electric shock may result.
