Troubleshooting
Connectivity diagram
Use the following diagram for assistance disconnecting and reconnecting peripherals. For more detailed
information, refer to the assembly instructions. Additional copies are available at www.sonosite.com.
See also “Cables and connectors” on page 10.
Symptom Solution
Printer does not print. Check the printer selection on the Connectivity setup page.
See the ultrasound system user guide.
Check the cable connections. See the printer installation instructions.
Ensure that the printer is turned on and set up properly. See the printer
manufacturer’s instructions, if necessary.
Stand tips over more easily
than expected.
Lower the platform on the stand.
Avoid placing heavy objects on the platform. Too much weight on the
platform can cause the stand to become less stable.
Caution To avoid damaging the system, use only accessories and peripherals recommended
by SonoSite with the ultrasound system.

12 Cleaning and disinfecting
Cleaning and disinfecting
To clean and disinfect a peripheral, refer to its manufacturer’s instructions. For the bar code scanner, see also
the Bar Code Scanner User Guide.
To clean and disinfect the stand or TTC
You can clean and disinfect the exterior surface of the stand or TTC using a recommended cleaner or
disinfectant. For the most recent list of approved products, see www.sonosite.com.
1Turn off the ultrasound system and any accessory equipment. Disconnect the system and accessory
equipment from AC power.
2Clean the surfaces of the stand to remove any debris or bodily fluids. Use the following procedure:
WARNINGS To avoid electrical shock, before cleaning always disconnect the system from the
power supply and remove it from the stand.
To avoid injury, always use protective eyewear and gloves when performing
cleaning and disinfecting procedures.
To avoid infection:
Ensure that the solution expiration date has not passed.
The level of disinfection required for a product is dictated by the type of tissue it
contacts during use. Ensure that the solution strength and duration of contact
are appropriate for the equipment. For information, see the disinfectant label
instructions and the recommendations of the Association for Professionals in
Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and FDA.
Caution Use only recommended cleaners or disinfectants on surfaces. Immersion-type
disinfectants are not tested for use on surfaces.

English Deutsch Español Français Italiano Português
Safety 13
English Deutsch Español Français Italiano Português Nederlands
aUse either a pre-moistened wipe or a soft cloth dampened with cleaner or disinfectant.
bRemove all gel, debris, and bodily fluids from the stand.
cWith a new wipe, clean all parts of the stand by wiping from the clean areas to the soiled areas. This
method helps to avoid cross-contamination.
dObserve the minimum wet contact time. Monitor the stand parts for wet appearance. Re-apply with a
new wipe if no longer wet.
3Allow the stand to air dry in a clean, well-ventilated space.
For information about cleaning the peripherals, see the manufacturer’s instructions.
Safety
Observe the following warnings and cautions before using accessories and peripherals with the ultrasound
system and transducers.
Electrical safety
The stand is not an electrical device and does not require ground bond testing. The stand is for facilitating the
mobility of peripherals and their connection to the ultrasound system.
Approved cleaners and disinfectants for the stand
Cleaner/disinfectant Minimum wet contact time1
SaniCloth AF3 (gray top)23 minutes
SaniCloth Plus (red top) 3 minutes
PI-Spray II 10 minutes
1For maximum effectiveness, the component being cleaned must remain wet with disinfectant for a
minimum period of time.
2Qualified for use as an intermediate-level disinfectant for mycobacteria. For a more complete list, refer to
the cleaning and disinfection tool available at www.sonosite.com/support/cleaners-disinfectants.

14 Safety
Equipment safety
WARNINGS To avoid the risk of electrical shock:
Do not plug the power cord of the Edge Stand or H-Universal Stand into a
multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) or use an extension cord.
Use only properly grounded equipment. Shock hazards exist if the power supply
is not properly grounded. Grounding reliability can only be achieved when
equipment is connected to a receptacle marked “Hospital Only” or “Hospital
Grade”or the equivalent. The grounding wire must not be removed or defeated.
Use only accessories and peripherals recommended by SonoSite, including the
power supply. Connection of accessories and peripherals not recommended by
SonoSite could result in electrical shock. Contact SonoSite or your local
representative for a list of accessories and peripherals available from or
recommended by SonoSite.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury, the equipment shall be connected
to a center-tapped single phase supply circuit when users in the United States
connect the equipment to a 240V supply system.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and fire hazard, inspect the power supply, plugs,
cables, and power cords on a regular basis for damage.
Cautions 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” on page 12 and the manufacturer’s operating
instructions.
Accessible metal on the signal inputs and outputs on the back and side of the
ultrasound system is not protectively earthed. Do not perform a high current
ground impedance test involving this part.
