1-8 Safety Precautions
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. Ensure that the current exam date and time are the same as the system
date and time.
14. 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.
WARNING:
1.
The ultrasonic probe is only for use with the specified
ultrasonic diagnostic system. Please refer to the 2.5
System Configuration
to select the proper probe.
2.
Confirm that the probe and cable are normal before and
after each examination. A defective probe may cause
electric shock to the patient.
3.
Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may
cause electric shock to the patient.
4.
Do not disassemble the probe to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
5.
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.
6.
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. 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.
