Take Breaks, Exercise, And Vary Activities; Electrical Safety Classification - FujiFilm SonoSite M-Turbo User Manual

Promote comfortable hand, wrist, and finger postures
• Hold the transducer lightly in your fingers.
• Minimize the pressure applied on the patient.
• Keep your wrist in a straight position.

Take breaks, exercise, and vary activities

• Minimizing scanning time and taking breaks can effectively allow your body to recover
from physical activity and help you avoid MSDs. Some ultrasound tasks may require longer
or more frequent breaks. However, simply changing tasks can help some muscle groups
relax while others remain or become active.
• Work efficiently by using the software and hardware features correctly.
• Keep moving. Avoid sustaining the same posture by varying your head, neck, body, arm,
and leg positions.
• Do targeted exercises. Targeted exercises can strengthen muscle groups, which may help
you avoid MSDs. Contact a qualified health professional to determine stretches and
exercises that are right for you.

Electrical safety classification

Class I equipment
Internally powered
equipment
Type BF applied parts
Type CF applied parts
IPX-7 (watertight equipment)
IPX-8 (watertight equipment)
Non AP/APG
The ultrasound system is classified as Class I equipment when
powered from the external power supply or mounted on the
stand because the external power supply is a Class 1
protectively earthed power supply.
The stand has no protective earth. Ground bond testing is not
applicable to the ultrasound system or the stand.
Note: AC powered peripherals that may be used with the system
are Class I and are individually protectively earthed. Ground
bond testing may be conducted on each AC powered peripheral.
Ultrasound system not connected to the power supply (battery
only)
Ultrasound transducers
ECG module/ECG leads
Ultrasound transducers
Footswitch
Ultrasound system power supply, docking system, and
peripherals. Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence
of flammable anaesthetics.
