electro-surgical devices, can produce image artifacts. If required, a review of
the local electromagnetic environment may be required to minimize the
sources of external noise generators.

The use of non-Mindray/Zonare approved cables and accessories may result
in increased radiated emissions as well as decreased immunity to external
signal fields.

Before beginning to image a new patient, be sure to conclude any in-progress
patient exam by pressing the New Patient key. Failure to do so will result in
any subsequent storing of images being mistakenly written to the previous
patient exam directory.

Some components or devices such as transducer covers used with
Mindray/Zonare systems are for single-patient use only. Reuse, reprocessing,
or re-sterilization of these devices may compromise their structural integrity.

Any image sets stored on the system, which are not identified by patient
name and number, will be stored with a unique number based off of the
system ID.

Exercise care in adjusting all settings to avoid obscuring low-level signals that
may have diagnostic value. Improper settings can seriously degrade image
quality.

Do not touch exposed metal of transducer connector.

Validate all entries in the Measurement Summary.

Ultrasound imaging capabilities can vary from patient to patient. Ultrasound
should be used as one component in a comprehensive diagnostic plan.

Never leave a probe in the disinfection solution for more than the specific time
by the disinfection manufacturer. Please refer to the instructions for use that
came with the disinfectant for minimal required exposure times. Do not forget
to rinse the probe directly after disinfection.

Only use water-soluble acoustic coupling gel. Other coupling gels can cause
probe damage.

Long-term exposure to ultrasound should be minimized. Although there have
been no confirmed adverse effects produced by diagnostic levels of
ultrasound, unnecessary patient exposure to ultrasound energy should be
avoided, especially in the Doppler mode.

Use of a non-compatible USB Memory Stick may result in file corruption or
long file transfer times. Please confirm proper operation of any memory stick
prior to attempting to use for clinical data.

Make sure the ZS3 System has fully completed downloading upgrades,
importing/exporting, or collecting log data to the USB Memory Stick before
removing it from the ZS3 System. Failure to do so will result in loss of data.

Review the ZS3 DICOM conformance statement before integrating with any
PACS system.

Validate Structured Report export prior to clinical use.

Use-time from the optional ZS3 battery pack will vary depending on the
system usage and battery conditioning. Ensure the battery is adequately
charged before starting a procedure without AC main power.

Export patient studies in a timely manner. Do not use the system storage as
the sole location of patient studies for an extended period of time.
