Safety

For maximum safety, observe the following warnings and cautions before using accessories
and peripherals with the ultrasound system and transducers.

Electrical safety

WARNING: To avoid the risk of a shock hazard, do not plug the power cord of the S-Series stand
into a multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) or use an extension cord.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only properly grounded equipment. Shock
hazards exist if the power supply is not properly grounded. Grounding reliability can
only be achieved when equipment is connected to a receptacle marked "Hospital
Only" or "Hospital Grade" or the equivalent. The grounding wire must not be
removed or defeated.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard, inspect the power supply, plugs,
cables, and power cords on a regular basis for damage.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, use only accessories and peripherals
recommended by SonoSite, including the power supply. Connection of accessories
and peripherals not recommended by SonoSite could result in electrical shock.
Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of accessories and peripherals
available from or recommended by SonoSite.
To avoid possible electrical shock or electromagnetic interference, verify proper
operation and compliance with relevant safety standards for all equipment before
clinical use. Connecting additional equipment to the ultrasound system constitutes
configuring a medical system. SonoSite recommends verifying that the system, all
combinations of equipment, and accessories connected to the ultrasound system
comply with JACHO installation requirements and/or safety standards AAMI-ES1,
NFPA 99, IEC 60601-1-1, and IEC 60601-1-2, and are certified according to IEC 60950
(Information Technology Equipment (ITE)).
