1. When AC power is first applied, the 'AC OK' LED should turn on (green).
The battery LED will begin to blink even if no battery or if a damaged
battery is installed. Depending on conditions, the battery LED will go dark
after some period to indicate a battery problem, but this may take several
hours. Battery problems will not prevent any system operations except for
fast boot when moving the system and incurring a temporary loss of AC

a PSD fault. If the fault persists for 5 more
seconds, the error is latched and the LED turns yellow or flashing yellow
to indicate a problem. LED 1 will not come on if LED 2 does not indicate
green first, and LED 2 requires LED 3 first.
3. Serious errors cause the system to shut off and LEDS to indicate yellow.
Such errors are latched and prevent the user from re-starting the system
with the power standby button. To clear this condition, it is necessary to
remove AC power by turning off the breaker.
4. Serious errors cause the system to shut off and LEDS to indicate yellow.
Such errors are latched Less serious errors cause LEDs to flash green.
These errors are not latched. For example, if a fan is stuck and then
becomes free, the error condition is removed. When a fan is stuck, a bit is
set high to software so that a warning can be issued to the user that a
cooling problem has occurred. This may cause the system to shut down
without warning if not corrected.
The PSA and PSD will run for 10-15 minutes without cooling fans.
System problems occurring 10-15 minutes after startup indicate a thermal
problem.
5. If the system has been turned on and then off using the power standby
button and a battery is present and charged, there will be standby 5V
power to the CPU memory even with no AC present. No LEDs are
illuminated in this condition.

MATERIAL AND PATIENT SAFETY CAN BE VERIFIED BY
SAFETY TESTING ACCORDING TO IEC60601-1.
Definition
This test measures the current that would flow to ground from any of the probes through a
patient who is being scanned and becomes grounded by touching some other grounded
surface.
Procedure on probe leakage current
The most common method of measuring probe leakage is to partly immerse the probe into a
saline bath while the probe is connected to the Ultrasound system and active. This method
measures the actual leakage current resulting from the transducer RF drive.
This test is also known as Patient Auxiliary Current.
1. Turn the Somo
2. Connect Safety analyzer to wall AC pow er outlet.
3. Set the Safety analyzer's function switch to “Chassis” or “Enclosure Leakage”.
4. Set meter switches to:
• L2 or Neutral Switch - Closed
• Outlet Switch - Normal
5. Plug the Somo
6. Plug the Chassis Ground Probe clip (saline probe clip) into the test meter's “CHASSIS”
connector.
7. Prepare the transducer for testing:
a. Obtain a plastic tray (at least 11”x15”x1”).
b. Obtain a sponge (at least 7”x3”x1”).
c. Saturate the sponge with saline solution.
NOTE: The Saline solution is a mixture of water and salt. The salt adds free ions to the water,
making it conductive. Normal saline solution is 0.9% salt and 99.1% water. If ready-mixed
saline solution is not available, a mixture of 1 quart or 1 liter water with 9 or more grams of
table salt, mixed thoroughly, will substitute.
d. Place the sponge in the plastic tray.
e. Clip the saline probe clip to the sponge.
8. Immerse the Ultrasound Probe’s probe face (imaging area of the probe) onto the saline-
saturated sponge.
