Level Of Protection Against Electrical Shock - System; Level Of Protection Against Electrical Shock - Transducers - Siemens Acuson S1000 Instructions For Use Manual

Caution: To avoid the possibility of static shock and damage to the system, avoid the use of
aerosol spray cleaners on the monitor screens.
Caution: Do not use spray cleaners on the ultrasound system, as this may force cleaning fluid
into the system and damage electronic components. It is also possible for the solvent fumes to
build up and form flammable gases or damage internal components.
Caution: Do not pour any fluid onto the ultrasound system surfaces, as fluid seepage into the
electrical circuitry may cause excessive leakage current or system failure.
Caution: To ensure proper grounding and leakage current levels, it is the policy of Siemens to
have an authorized Siemens representative or Siemens approved third party perform all
on-board connections of documentation and storage devices to the ultrasound system.
Caution: To maintain the safety and functionality of the ultrasound system, maintenance must
be performed every 24 months. Electrical safety tests must also be performed at regular
intervals as specified by local safety regulations, or as needed.
EMC Note: Proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic fields, such as radio transmitter stations
or similar installations may lead to interference visible on the monitor screen. However, the device
has been designed and tested to withstand such interference and will not be permanently damaged.
Level of Protection Against Electrical Shock — System
According to EN 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1, the system provides a "Level of Protection Against
Electrical Shock" of "Type B."
The Type B icon is located on the system.
Level of Protection Against Electrical Shock — Transducers
According to EN 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1, the assemblies for the endocavity transducer and
the linear, curved, and phased array transducers provide a "Level of Protection Against
Electrical Shock" of "Type BF."
The Type BF icon is located on the transducer label.
