performed. The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) has a publication “Medical Ultrasound
Safety” (1994) which has more information on this topic.
CAUTION:
This device has not been tested in conjunction with HF surgical (e.g. electrocautery) equipment and should
not be used with such equipment.
CAUTION:
When removing the protective cap from the transducer be careful not to pull too hard. Let some air under the
lip of the cap by lifting gently with a fingernail and it should come off easily.
CAUTION:
Always ensure the IOPac is charged sufficiently. USE ONLY THE SUPPLIED PALM CHARGER PROVIDED
WITH THE UNIT, or a USB CABLE (such as the one supplied with the IOPac) CONNECTED TO A COMPUTER.
We recommend a minimum charge level of 50%. The IOPac is based on a Palm handheld computer that uses a
rechargeable battery to maintain stored data and programs. Like similar computers, if the battery becomes
too drained it will not be able to function. At 40% battery level the IOPac software application will not start,
and at 20% the IOPac will not power on until it has been charged. To ensure the IOPac is always ready for use,
a good guideline is to charge it overnight at least weekly and to leave it attached to a charger when not in use
for longer periods.
CAUTION:
Protect your data by archiving it. Good practice is to perform regular hot sync operations as described in
Appendix A of this Manual to archive your data in a secure location on your PC.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications to this equipment, not expressly approved by the manufacturer, could void the
warranty and the user's authority to operate the equipment.
