Electrical Safety
This equipment has been verified by a recognized third-party testing agency as a Class I device
with Type BF and Type CF isolated patient-applied parts. (The safety standards met by this
system are included in the "Specifications" section.) For maximum safety, observe these
warnings and cautions:
WARNING
Shock hazards may exist if this system, including all externally mounted recording and
monitoring devices, is not properly grounded. Protection against electrical shock is provided
by grounding the chassis with a three-wire cable and plug. The system must be plugged into a
grounded outlet. The grounding wire must not be removed or defeated.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, never connect the system power cord to a power strip or
an extension cord. When using the power cord, always connect it directly to a grounded wall
outlet.
WARNING
Use only Type CF transducers for invasive procedures. Type B transducers are insufficiently
electrically isolated for invasive use.
WARNING
Do not remove the protective 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 Philips Ultrasound field service engineer.
WARNING
Do not operate this system in the presence of flammable gases or anesthetics. Explosion can
result. The system is not compliant in AP/APG environments as defined by IEC 60601-1.
