WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock or
electromagnetic interference, verify
proper operation and compliance
with relevant safety standards for all
equipment before clinical use.
Connecting additional equipment
to the ultrasound system
constitutes configuring a medical
system. FUJIFILM SonoSite
recommends verifying that the
system, all combinations of
equipment, and accessories
connected to the ultrasound system
comply with JACHO installation
requirements and/or safety
standards AAMI-ES1, NFPA 99, IEC
60601-1-1, and IEC 60601-1-2, and
are certified according to IEC 60950
(Information Technology
Equipment (ITE)).
Caution:
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. Static shock 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 the
PowerPack. The following
precautions can help reduce ESD:
anti-static spray on carpets,
anti-static spray on linoleum, and
anti-static mats.
To prevent the battery from
draining, do not connect the
PowerPack DC power cord to its
own—or another PowerPack's—
DC input port.

Safety
The PowerPack contains battery
technology that requires periodic
recharging to maintain optimal
performance. If left uncharged for
months, the battery performance
may degrade or become
non-functional.
Equipment safety
Caution:
Excessive bending or twisting of
cables can cause a failure or
intermittent operation.
Improper cleaning or disinfecting of
any part of the accessories and
peripherals can cause permanent
damage. For cleaning and
disinfecting instructions, see
"Cleaning and disinfecting"
page 4 and the manufacturer's
operating instructions.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
See the safety section of the ultrasound system
user guide and supplemental guides for
information on electromagnetic compatibility
with IEC 60601-1-2, including the Manufacturer's
Declaration.
