KOSMOS User Guide

Abdominal
Training
KOSMOS is intended to be used by clinicians with appropriate professional
qualifications and clinical training.
All users should read the generic ALARA education program supplied with
KOSMOS (see ISBN 1-932962-30-1, Medical Ultrasound Safety on the USB flash
drive) or the Health Canada Guidelines for the Safe Use of Diagnostic Ultrasound
available on the Health Canada website. This program outlines the guiding
principle for diagnostic ultrasound, where the qualified user keeps ultrasound
exposure to “as low as reasonably achievable” while performing a diagnostic
examination.
In addition to the above, users intending to use the ultrasound imaging function
must have appropriate training in ultrasound. Appropriate information on
training may be obtained by contacting EchoNous or your local professional
body.
