1.4 Battery
The equipment uses an internal Lithium
battery. The battery should exclusively be
replaced in the equipment by the identical
type of battery provided by IMV Imaging.
Replacing the battery by an incorrect type
may cause excessive temperatures, fire
or explosion. The Battery is a Lithium-Ion
Polymer battery rating a voltage of 14.8 V
and a capacity of 8400 mAh.
1.5
Surface temperatures
The probes provided with the device are
compliant with the security standards con
-
cerning surface temperatures. The probes
have been designed in order to never let
the surface temperature exceed 41°C.
The Exago device has not been designed
to be used together with a high frequency
surgical device. A risk of patient burn might
exist in case of failure in connection of
the neutral electrode of the surgical high
frequency device.
1.6
Probe safety
The probes supplied with the Exago equi
-
pment are intended to be used only with
IMV imaging systems.
Never try to connect the supplied probes
to any other ultrasound system. This can
lead to irreversible damage on the probe
connector and to the possibility of much
higher acoustic output than required. This
can also lead to patient burn due to over
-
heating of the probe.
For safety and maintenance reasons,
never disconnect a probe from the device
without freezing the system first.
All probes provided with the Exago device
are compliant with the standard ISO 10993-
1 concerning biocompatibility of compo
-
nents used for probe manufacturing.
1.7 Other devices connection
The Exago equipment can be connected
to several peripherals like:
•
composite video printers
•
USB peripherals (flash stick)
•
External screen (DVI connection)
To ensure the electrical safety of the equi
-
pment:
All peripherals requiring a power input
(printers, monitors etc.) must also use a
medical isolation transformer or comply
themselves with the electrical safety stan
-
dard EN 60601-1. Otherwise, the patient
electrical safety is no longer ensured.
This equipment can cause electromagne
-
tic perturbations and alter the behaviour of
another equipment. It may be needed to
move the equipment or change his orien
-
tation in order to reduce this perturbation.
Always place the probe in the probe
holder on the trolley or in another secured
place when not used in order to avoid it
from falling either on the patient or on the
floor. Any crack or damage to the probe
head can lead to electrical shock. Never
use a probe that is damaged, that has
been dropped or has suffered a severe
collision until it has been inspected by an
IMV Imaging customer service engineer.
Do not immerse the transducer connector
in any liquid. Immersing it can destroy its
electrical safety features.
