1-6 Safety Precautions
8. There is no risk of high-temperature burns during normal
ultrasound examinations. It is possible for the surface
temperature of the probe to exceed the body temperature of a
patient due to environmental temperature and exam mode
combinations. Apply the probe only for a period of time
required for the purpose of diagnosis.
9. The system and its accessories are not disinfected or
sterilized prior to delivery. The operator is responsible for the
cleaning and disinfection of probes 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, which will not only be
harmful to the human body, but also damage the accessory.
10. It is necessary to tap [End] in the bottom-left corner of the
operating panel to end the current scan that is in progress
and clear the current Patient Information field. Failure to do
so may result in new patient data being combined with data
of the previous patient.
11. DO NOT connect or disconnect the system’s power cord or
its accessories (e.g., a printer or a recorder) without turning
OFF the power first. This may damage the system and its
accessories or cause electric shock.
12. If the system is powered off improperly during operation, it
may result in data damage of the system’s hard disk or
system failure.
13. Do not use the system to examine a fetus for a long period of
time.
14. Do not use a USB memory device (e.g., a USB flash drive,
removable hard disk) which has unsafe data. Otherwise,
system damage may result.
15. It is recommended to only use the video devices specified in
this manual.
16. Do not use gel, disinfectant, probes, probe sheath or needle-
guided brackets that are not compatible with the system.
17. Read the Acoustic Output Principle in the operation manual
carefully before operate this system on clinical examination.
18. Please use the ultrasound gel compliant with the relevant
local regulations.
NOTE: 1. DO NOT use the system in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic field (such as a
transformer), which may affect the performance of the system.
2. DO NOT use the system in the vicinity of high-frequency radiation source, which
may affect the performance of the system or even lead to failure.
