Caution:
To avoid the risk of increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity, use
only accessories and peripherals recommended by SonoSite. Connection of
accessories and peripherals not recommended by SonoSite could result in
malfunctioning of your ultrasound system or other medical electrical devices in the
area. Contact SonoSite or your local representative for a list of accessories and
peripherals available from or recommended by SonoSite. See the SonoSite
accessories user guide.
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 a transducer or an ultrasound system. The following
precautions can help reduce ESD: anti-static spray on carpets, anti-static spray on
linoleum, and anti-static mats.

Group 1 The SonoSite ultrasound system uses RF energy only
for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions
are very low and are not likely to cause any
interference in nearby electronic equipment.
