
The ultrasound system and/or the transducer could be damaged if a non-
approved transducer is connected.

Improper cleaning or disinfection of patient applied parts may cause
permanent damage. Carefully review the manufacturer’s directions for any
component used with Mindray/Zonare ultrasound systems. MINDRAY
assumes no liability with respect to single-use devices that are reused,
reprocessed, or resterilized and makes no warranties, expressed or implied
(including the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use),
with respect to such devices.

Use of peripherals or other equipment not provided by Mindray/Zonare may
result in system damage or degraded performance. Carefully review the
labeling of any such equipment before connecting to the Mindray/Zonare
system.

Improper setting of imaging controls may obscure diagnostically valuable
information in the display. The factory default preset maps were preselected
as appropriate for most imaging circumstances. Improper user configuration
of custom presets may obscure diagnostically valuable information.

Mindray/Zonare ultrasound systems are manufactured in compliance with
existing electromagnetic immunity (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) requirements. Use of the systems in the presence of an
electromagnetic field can cause degradation of the ultrasound image.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD), or static shock, is a naturally occurring
phenomenon. ESD is common in low humidity, which can be caused by
heating or air conditioning. ESD shock occurs when electrical energy is
discharged from one body, to a differently charged body. To lessen the
occurrence of ESD, use antistatic spray on carpets and flooring, and antistatic
mats.

To minimize potential ESD damage and electrical contact contamination,
avoid touching the metal contacts for the transducer connections, at both the
ZS3
port and the transducer connector.

If the ZS3 System has been moved between environments with extremes of
temperature and/or humidity, allow the ZS3 System to rest for at least 30
minutes in a controlled environment before using.

Do not use the ultrasound system if any error message displays on the
screen.

Do not block airflow to any ventilation holes on the system.

Do not submerge the transducer past the points indicated in ‘Mindray/Zonare
Transduc
ers Cleaning and Disinfection’.

Do not spill liquid on the systems or transducers.

Using a non-recommended cleaning or disinfectant solution, incorrect solution
strength, or immersing the transducer deeper or longer than indicated can
damage the transducer. Damages linked to the use of disapproved chemicals
are not covered under product warranty or service contract.

The use of non-shielded cables may result in increased emissions and
decreased immunity to external signals

Operating the systems in the presence of external electromagnetic fields can
degrade the quality of the ultrasound image. High-frequency devices, such as
