Safety Precautions 1-9
Please read the following precautions carefully to ensure the safety of the animal and the
operator when using the probes.
WARNING: 1.
The ultrasonic probe is only for use with the specified
ultrasonic diagnostic system. Please refer to the “2.5.2
Probes Available
” to select the proper probe.
2.
The ultrasonic probe must be used only by qualified
professionals.
3.
Confirm that the probe and cable are normal before and
after each examination. Electrical shock may result from
a defective probe.
4.
Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may
cause electric shock to the animal.
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 biopsy examination.
CAUTION:
1. When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent
infection.
2. Be sure to use ultrasound sterile 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 animal for a long time may cause
such a burn.
4. Do not use the carrying case for storing the transducer. 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 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.
