This equipment has been verified as a Class I device with Type BF applied parts.

2.3.1Prevention of Electric Shock

In a hospital, dangerous currents are due to the potential differences between connected equipment and touchable conducting parts found in medical rooms. The solution to the problem is consistent equipotential bonding. Medical equipment is connected with connecting leads made up of angled sockets to the equipotential bonding network in medical rooms.

[Figure 2-3] Equipotential bonding

Additional equipment connected to medical electrical equipment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data processing equipment). Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or clause 16 of the 3 Ed. of IEC 60601-1, respectively). Anybody connecting additional equipment to medical electrical equipment configures a medical system and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. Attention is drawn to the fact that local laws take priority over the above-mentioned requirements. If in doubt, consult your local distributor or the technical service department.

WARNING

CAUTION

yElectric shock may exist result if this system, including and all of its externally mounted recording and monitoring devices, is not properly grounded.

yDo not remove the covers on the system; hazardous voltages are present inside. Cabinet panels must be in place while the system is in use. All internal adjustments and replacements must be made by a qualified MEDISON Customer Service Department.

yCheck the face, housing, and cable before use. Do not use, if the face is cracked, chipped, or torn, the housing is damaged, or if the cable is abraded.

yAlways disconnect the system from the wall outlet prior to cleaning the system.

yAll patient contact devices, such as probes and ECG leads, must be removed from the patient prior to application of a high voltage defibrillation pulse.

yThe use of flammable anesthetic gas or oxidizing gases (N20) should be avoided.

yThe system has been designed for 100-120VAC and 200-240VAC; you should select the input voltage of monitor, printer and VCR. Prior to connecting an OEM power cord, verify that the voltage indicated on the power cord matches the voltage rating of the OEM device.

yAn isolation transformer protects the system from power surges. The isolation transformer continues to operate when the system is in standby.

yDo not immerse the cable in liquids. Cables are not waterproof.

yThe operator does not contact the parts (SIP/SOP) and the patient simultaneously

2.3.2ECG-Related Information

WARNING y This device is not intended to provide a primary ECG monitoring function, and therefore does not have means of indicating an inoperative

electrocardiograph.

yDo not use ECG electrodes of HF surgical equipment. Any malfunctions in the HF surgical equipment may result in burns to the patient.

yDo not use ECG electrodes during cardiac pacemaker procedures or other electrical stimulators.

yDo not use ECG leads and electrodes in an operating room.

2.3.3ESD

Electrostatic discharge (ESD), commonly referredto as a static shock, is a naturally occurring phenomenon. ESD is most prevalent during conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or air conditioning. During low humidity conditions, electrical charges naturally build up on individuals, creating static electricity. An ESD occurs when an individual with an electrical energy build-up comes in contact with conductive objects such as metal doorknobs, file cabinets, computer equipment, and even other individuals. The static shock or ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy build-up from a charged individual to a lesser or non-charged individual or object.

The ESD caution symbol is on the probe connector and the rear panel.

[Figure 2-4] ESD symbol

CAUTION y The level of electrical energy discharged from a system user or patient to an ultrasound system can be significant enough to cause

damage to the system or probes.

yThe following precautions can help to reduce ESD:

-Anti-static sprays on carpets or linoleum

-Anti-static mats

-A ground wire connection between the system and the patient table or bed.

2.3.4EMI

Although this system has been manufactured in compliance with existing EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) requirements, use of this system in the presence of an electromagnetic field can cause momentary degradation of the ultrasound image.

If this occurs often, MEDISON suggests a review of the environment in which the system is being used, to identify possible sources of radiated emissions. These emissions could be from other electrical devices used within the same room or an adjacent room. Communication devices such as cellular phones and pagers can cause these emissions. The existence of radios, TVs, or microwave transmission equipment nearby can also cause interference.

Chapter 2. Safety 2-8

CAUTION In cases where EMI is causing disturbances, it may be necessary to relocate this system.

2.3.5EMC

The testing for EMC(Electromagnetic Compatibility) of this system has been performed according to the international standard for EMC with medical devices (IEC60601-1-2). This IEC standard was adopted in Europe as the European norm (EN60601-1-2).
