Please read and understand these cautions and warnings before you begin using the Vimedix system.
• Do not drop or hit probes against hard surfaces. The probes do not contain
crystals but should be handled with care.
• Do not attempt to open or repair the Vimedix Ultrasonography Simulator
or any of its components. Doing so can cause damage to the equipment
and may void the warranty.
• Do not use equipment in a manner that is not specified by the manufacturer. If
equipment is used in a manner no specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• Do not use ultrasound gel on Vimedix probes. Using gel may damage the
equipment.
• Keep the simulator at least 40 inches (1 meter) away from large metal objects or
surfaces to prevent image distortion or simulator performance. Objects that may
cause interferences include:
º
Metal table components
º
Electric motors
º
Strong speakers
º
High amplification appliances
º
Electric wires
º
Large metal components such as metal filing cabinets
º
Halogen lights
• When replacing damaged power cords, use only suitable power cord replacements.
• Keep the computer approximately 2 feet (60 cm) away from mannequin to
prevent image distortion.
• Ensure that no objects are left in the protective bag or on the mannequin,
as this could damage the surface of the mannequin.
• Avoid any hydrocarbon solvents, as they will react and dissolve the surface
of the mannequin.
• Do not immerse the mannequin in liquid or use abundant liquid to wash
the mannequin. This could impair its normal function.
• Do not insert any USB devices other than a USB storage device (memory stick,
flash drive). Other USB devices such as phone or mp3 chargers may create a
simulator error.
• All equipment inquiries should be directed to the product manufacturer:
