Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring phenomenon.
ESD is common in conditions of low humidity, which can be caused by heating or air
conditioning. ESD is a discharge of the electrical energy from a charged body to a
lesser or non-charged body. The degree of discharge can be significant enough to
cause damage to a transducer or an ultrasound system. The following precautions
can help reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets, anti-static spray on linoleum, and
anti-static mats.
