During the Move
Caution: When moving the ultrasound system, protect it from environmental changes including:
moisture, winds, dirt and dust, and extreme heat or cold exposure.
Caution: Avoid moving the ultrasound system on outside surfaces with loose dirt, contaminates,
or standing liquids.
Caution: Care should be taken to minimize shock and vibration of the ultrasound system. Avoid
uneven surfaces that contain an abrupt height change or jarring surface irregularities.
You can move the ultrasound system from room to room within a facility and easily reposition
the system during an examination. Be careful on inclines and uneven surfaces. The ultrasound
system can be moved across pavement and other hardened parking lot surfaces.
Note: The wheels of the ultrasound system must be locked when transporting by vehicle. The
ultrasound system must be sufficiently anchored to the vehicle floor or walls such that it does not shift
or move during transport.
After the Move

position the system against walls or hard surfaces that would impede free ventilation around the
system.
Caution: Do not allow linens, bedding, and/or hanging curtain partitions to block the ultrasound
system's ventilation.
Caution: Obstructed fans can cause potential system overheating, system performance
degradation, or failure.
Caution: Brakes are most effective on a level surface. Never park the system on an incline
greater than five degrees.
