4.5 Maintenance and service
In case of breakdown of the
MICROFLOW S
, please contact your Atys dealer.
The
MICROFLOW S
performs properly only when operated and maintained as specified in this
manual.
It is the responsibility of the operator to use the MICROFLOW S in accordance with the user’s
documentation, the warnings and the labels.
If the
MICROFLOW S
is found defective, it should not be used. The MICROFLOW S should not be
used if any parts are missing or are damaged. Parts that are visibly broken, worn out, warped or
contaminated must be replaced.
No components should be replaced with parts from any other manufacturer. If the customer
suspects a part may be defective, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact Atys or Atys
representative. The
MICROFLOW S
should only be repaired by technicians authorized by Atys.
No modification of this equipment is allowed
4.6 Ultrasound field
Contraindication
: to be used by trained people, not use on ophthalmic, fetal application and fetal
monitoring.
The operator should limit the length of the Doppler tests to the time required for diagnostic purpose
to minimize his/her exposure to ultrasound and as well the patient’s.
4.7 Environmental protection
Do not dispose the
MICROFLOW S
and its accessories in rubbish bins. They can be partially
recovered and re-used.
4.8 Electromagnetic compatibility
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it
could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the
manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
The device shall not be used in home environment
NOTE
The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas
and hospitals (CISPR 11 class A). If it is used in a residential environment (for which CISPR 11
class B is normally required) this equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency
communication services. The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or
re-orienting the equipment.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the
Microflow-
S
, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
The
Microflow-S
emits electromagnetic perturbations in ultrasound probe working frequencies,
fundamental and third harmonics.
The effects result from the high voltage and high frequency emission pulses.
These perturbations do not allow to be compliant to the B class in every configuration
