To avoid the risk of electrical shock:
Do not plug the power cord of the Edge Stand or H-Universal Stand into a
multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) or use an extension cord.
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.
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 the risk of electrical shock or injury, the equipment shall be connected
to a center-tapped single phase supply circuit when users in the United States
connect the equipment to a 240V supply system.
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.
Excessive bending or twisting of cables can cause a failure or intermittent
operation.
Improper cleaning or disinfecting of any part of the accessories and peripherals
can cause permanent damage. For cleaning and disinfecting instructions, see
"Cleaning and disinfecting"
instructions.
Accessible metal on the signal inputs and outputs on the back and side of the
ultrasound system is not protectively earthed. Do not perform a high current
