1-8 Safety Precautions
WARNING: 1.
The ultrasonic probe is only for use with the specified
ultrasonic diagnostic system. Please refer to 2.5
System
Configuration to select the proper probe.
2.
Ultrasound transducers can only be used by qualified
professionals.
3.
Confirm that the probe and cable are normal before and
after each examination. A defective probe may cause
electric shock to the patient.
4.
Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may
cause electric shock to the patient.
5.
Do not disassemble the probe to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
6.
Never immerse the probe connector into liquids such as
water or disinfectant because the connector is not
waterproof. Immersion may cause electric shock or
malfunction.
7.
A probe sheath must be installed over the probe before
performing intra-cavity or intra-operative examination.
CAUTION: 1.
When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent
infection.
2.
Be sure to use sterile ultrasound gel. Please use the
ultrasound gel compliant with the relevant local
regulations. And manage the ultrasound gel properly to
ensure that it does not become a source of infection.
3.
In normal diagnostic ultrasound mode, there is no
danger of a normal-temperature burn; however, keeping
the probe on the same region of the patient for a long
time may cause such a burn.
4.
Do not use the carrying case for storing the probe in
daily use. If the carrying case is used for storage, it may
become a source of infection.
5.
It is required to practice ALARA when operating
ultrasound system. Minimize the acoustic power without
compromising the quality of images.
6.
The probe and accessories supplied with it are not
delivered disinfected or sterilized. Sterilization (or
high-level disinfect) before use is required.
7.
Disposable components (for example the probe sheath,
the sterile gloves) are packaged sterile and are
single-use only. Do not use if integrity of packaging
violated or if expiration date has passed. Please use the
disposable components compliant with the relevant local
regulations.
