CSIP Level 1 Safety: General Equipment Protection
CAUTIONS • Ensure that the cables for all patient-applied parts are secure before moving the system. Use
the cable management system to ensure that transducer cables are protected from damage.
• Do not roll the system over transducer cables or power cables.
• If the system behaves abnormally after moving or transporting, contact Philips Ultrasound
Customer Service immediately. The components can withstand considerable shock, but
excessive shock can cause a system failure.
General
Equipment
Protection
Follow these additional precautions to protect the system from damage:
CAUTIONS • For optimal performance, the ultrasound system should be connected to a power circuit
dedicated solely for the ultrasound system.
• Verify system and peripheral power sources are appropriate before connecting to them.
• Avoid placing the system in an environment that may produce electrostatic discharges (ESD)
that could damage the ultrasound system. See “About Electrostatic Discharge” on page 51.
