Operator Safety Issues
Transporting and Placing the System
CAUTION
When placing the system for use, be certain that the unit is in a
secure position where it will not be inadvertently knocked or dis-
placed.
CAUTION
During scanning operations use caution to prevent transducer,
ECG, or power cables from being placed where they may
obstruct movement or cause someone to trip over them.
CAUTION
When moving the system within a building when the system is
placed on its mounting stand, do not try to move the stand over
uneven elevator thresholds.
CAUTION
Fold the keyboard into the up position before moving the system.
When folding the keyboard up take care to avoid pinching your
fingers or cables.
CAUTION
Take care when placing the system on a surface such as a table
or cart that the system is securely placed and not subject to acci-
dental bumping which might cause it to fall.
The Cypress system is a compact and highly portable ultrasound system.
Take care when transporting and placing the unit to avoid potential injury to
the operator or patient.
Use the built-in handle to carry or move the system short distances. When
carrying the unit, take care not to bang it into a wall or other object. Take spe-
cial care to protect the display.
When transporting the system over a considerable distance or in a vehicle,
place it in the protective carrying or shipping case.
Remove all cables and connectors before moving the system. Do not move
the system with dangling cables.
Remove transducers from the system when transporting it any distance, or in
a vehicle. When transporting transducers, place them in a carrying or ship-
ping case.
See “Technical Description and Accuracy” on page 10-20 for more informa-
tion about transporting specifications.
