Precautions
Please read all contents of the Operator’s Manual for your ATEC Pearl, ATEC
Sapphire and ATEC Emerald breast biopsy system prior to installation and
operation. Follow all warnings and instructions as stated in this manual and retain
for future reference. Physicians should inform patients about all potential risks
and adverse events discussed in this manual with respect to the use of the ATEC
Pearl, ATEC Sapphire and ATEC Emerald breast biopsy systems for an incisional
breast biopsy.
•
Should any object or liquid fall into the ATEC Pearl, ATEC Sapphire or ATEC
Emerald console, unplug the console and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
•
Unplug the console from the electrical outlet if it is not to be used for several days or
an extended period of time as well as prior to servicing.
•
Allow adequate air circulation around the console to prevent internal heat build-up.
Do not place the console on surfaces or near materials that may block the ventilation
openings.
•
Do not install the console in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air
ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
•
To keep the console looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents or abrasive cleansers since these will damage the console
exterior casing. Do not allow liquid to contact any electrical areas of the console (i.e.
on/off power switch, power cord connection). The console should only be cleaned
after the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet and the console.
•
Do not place the console on an unstable surface. The console may fall, causing
serious injury and damage to the appliance. Quick stops, excessive force and
uneven surfaces may cause the console to overturn.
