 Relative humidity: 15% to 90% (no condensation)
 Atmospheric pressure: 500 hPa to 1060 hPa
Store and transport the C4-1s probe under the following ambient conditions:

Ambient temperature: –20°C to 60°C

Relative humidity: 15% to 90% (no condensation)

Atmospheric pressure: 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
3. When the probe is sent to the MINDRAY Customer Service Department or a sales
representative for repair, be sure to disinfect it and keep it in the carrying case to prevent
infection.

13.2 Biopsy Guide
WARNING:
The person performing biopsy procedures must understand
diagnostic ultrasound thoroughly and have been adequately
trained, otherwise the patient may suffer consequences.
In the situations listed below, the biopsy needle may fail to
penetrate the target. Incorrect biopsy may cause various
consequences for the patient.

Using a needle-guided bracket other than that provided.

Mounting the needle-guided bracket incorrectly.

Using a biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the type of biopsy
being performed.

Using a biopsy needle that is unsuitable for the needle guide.
Before and after a biopsy procedure is performed, confirm
that the needle-guided bracket is normal. Manually confirm
that the parts of the needle-guided bracket do not slip or
move from their proper positions. If the needle-guided
bracket is used when parts are not securely and correctly
installed, the patient may be injured. If an abnormality is
found on the needle-guided bracket, immediately stop using
it and contact the MINDRAY Customer Service Department
or a sales representative.
DO NOT use a needle-guided bracket while scanning is
performed. The needle may advance in an incorrect
direction and possibly injure the patient.
Never perform a biopsy during image scanning.
DO NOT freeze an image while performing a biopsy
procedure.
During biopsy procedures, the needle may deviate from the
desired course due to tissue characteristics or the type of
needle. In particular, needles with small diameters may
deviate to a greater degree.
