Safety Precautions
1-7
3. To avoid damaging the system, DO NOT use it in following environment:
(1) Locations exposed to direct sunlight.
(2) Locations subject to sudden changes in environmental temperature.
(3) Dusty locations.
(4) Locations subject to vibration.
(5) Locations near heat generators.
(6) Locations with high humidity.
4. Turn ON the system only after the power has been turned OFF for a while.
If the system is turned ON immediately after being turned OFF, the system
may not be rebooted properly and could malfunction.
5. When using or placing the system, keep the system horizontal to avoid
imbalance.
6. Remove ultrasound gel from the face of a probe when the examination is
complete. Water in the gel may enter the acoustic lens and adversely affect
the performance and safety of the probe.
7. You should properly back up the system to a secure external storage
media, including system configuration, settings and patient data. Data
stored to the system’s hard drive may be lost due to system failure,
improper operation or accident.
8. Do not apply external force to the control panel; otherwise, the system may
be damaged.
9. If the system is used in a small room, the room temperature may rise.
Please provide proper ventilation and free air exchange.
10. To dispose of the system or any part, contact Mindray Customer Service
Department or sales representative. Mindray is not responsible for any
system content or accessories that have been discarded improperly.
11. Electrical and mechanical performance may be degraded due to long
usage (such as current leakage or distortion and abrasion); the image
sensitivity and precision may become worse too. To ensure optimal system
operations, it is recommended that you maintain the system under a
Mindray service agreement.
12. The iScape feature constructs a single extended image from a series of
individual image frames. The quality of the final image is user-dependent
and requires skill to efficiently apply the feature and technique. Exercise
caution when measurements are performed from an iScape image.
13. The replaceable fuse is inside the chassis. Refer replacing job to Mindray
service engineers or engineers authorized by Mindray only.
14. Ensure that the current exam date and time are the same as the system
date and time.
15. DO NOT turn OFF the power supply of the system during printing, file
storage or invoking other system operations. An interrupted process may
not be completed, and can become lost or corrupted.
Please read the following precautions carefully to ensure the safety of the patient and the
operator when using the probes.
