Medical research has yet to prove whether or not ultrasound causes biological
effects. Therefore, prudent use considerations require you to follow certain
guidelines; see EN60601-2-37 [3]

WARNING 3D-w1
Measurements obtained with the 3D system and used in diagnosis must be carefully and
thoughtfully performed to ensure accurate quantitative assessment. Before you perform
a calculation, make sure that all necessary calibrations and measurements are made.
If you suspect that the 3D system’s calibration is inaccurate (that is, the measurements are
not as expected), contact your local BK service representative to check and confirm the
system’s proper operation.
