12 Chapter 3: Safety
• Do not connect the system's power supply to an MPSO or extension cord.
• Before using the transducer, inspect the transducer face, housing, and cable.
Do not use the transducer if the transducer or cable is damaged.
• Turn the system off and disconnect the power supply from the system before
cleaning the system.
• Do not use any transducer that has been immersed beyond the specified
cleaning or disinfection level. See the "Cleaning and Disinfecting" chapter in
the Sonosite PX user guide.
• Use only accessories and peripherals recommended by Fujifilm Sonosite,
including the power supply. Connection of accessories and peripherals not
recommended by Fujifilm Sonosite could result in electrical shock. Contact
Fujifilm Sonosite or your local representative for a list of accessories and
peripherals available from or recommended by Fujifilm Sonosite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard:
• Inspect the power supply, AC power cords, cables, and plugs on a regular
basis. Ensure that they are not damaged.
• The power cord set that connects the power supply of the ultrasound system
orstand to mains power must only be used with the power supply, and cannot
be used to connect other devices to mains power.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, burn, or fire, use only AC power supplies
specified by Fujifilm Sonosite.
To prevent injury to the operator/bystander, the transducer must be removed
from patient contact before the application of a high-voltage defibrillation pulse.
Because the only method of completely removing AC power from the stand is
to disconnect the AC input power cord from the stand base, ensure that you
place the stand in a location in which you can easily remove the AC input
power cord if necessary.
Failures in the electrical safety design of connected devices may result in a
voltage on the ultrasound system. To minimize the risk of electrical shock to the
patient and/or operator:
• Use medical-grade devices.
• After connections are made, test the electrical safety utilizing biomedical
department electrical safety procedures.
Under certain conditions, the area where the system docks to the stand may
become hot to the touch. Use caution when handling.
Do not use the system if an error message appears on the display monitor:
note the error code; call Fujifilm Sonosite or your local representative; turn off
the system by pressing and holding the power key until the system powers
down.
To avoid increasing the system and transducer connector temperature, do not
block the airflow to the ventilation openings on the front and back of the
system.
If the system overheats, it will shut down automatically.
If the system's handle becomes too hot to touch, allow the system to cool for a
few minutes before relocation or use gloves for protection.
