Page: 16 / 101

CAUTION:
1. Precautions concerning clinical examination techniques:
(1) This system must be used only by qualified medical professionals.
(2) This operator’s manual does not describe clinical examination
techniques. The clinician should select the proper examination
techniques based on specialized training and clinical experience.
2. Malfunctions due to radio wave:
(1) If a radio wave emitting device is used in the proximity of this
system, it may interfere with operations. Do not bring or use devices
that generate radio waves, such as cellular telephones,
transceivers, and radio controlled toys, in the room where the
system is installed.
(2) If a person brings a device that generates radio waves near the
system, ask him / her to immediately turn OFF the device.
3. Precautions concerning movement of the system:
(1) Object placed on the monitor may fall and injure an individual.
(2) Fasten and fully secure any peripheral device before moving the
system. A loose peripheral device may fall and injure an individual.
(3) Do not expose the system to excessive vibration through
transportation. Mechanical damage may result.
(4) Always keep the system dry. Avoid transporting this system quickly
from a cold place to a warm place; otherwise condensation or water
droplets may form allowing a short circuit and possible electric
shock.
4. If the circuit protector is tripped, it indicates that the system or a
peripheral device was improperly shut down and the system is unstable.
You cannot repair the system under this circumstance and must call the
Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative.
5. There is no risk of high-temperature burns during routine ultrasound
examinations. It is possible for the surface temperature of the
transducer to exceed the body temperature of a patient due to
environmental temperature and exam type combinations. If a patient
complains of any excessive heat from the transducer, immediately stop
scanning. To prevent patient burns, ensure there is no surface damage
to the transducer. Do not apply the transducer to the same region on
the patient for a long time. Apply the transducer only for a period of time
required for the purpose of diagnosis.
6. Do not use the system to examine a fetus for a long period of time.
7. The system and its accessories are not disinfected or sterilized prior to
delivery. The operator is responsible for the cleaning and disinfection of
transducers and sterilization of biopsy brackets according to the
manuals, prior to the use. All items must be thoroughly processed to
completely remove harmful residual chemicals or gasses that are
harmful to the human body or that may damage the accessory.
8. It is necessary to press <Patient> to end the current scan that is in
progress and clear the current Patient Information field. Otherwise new
patient data may be combined with the previous patient data.
9. Do not connect or disconnect the system’s power cord or its accessories
(e.g., a printer) without turning OFF the power first. This may damage
the system and its accessories or cause electric shock.
10. Before using the digital ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system to perform
an exam, please carefully read “10 Acoustic Output”.
