indicates the precautions for system
security.
The instructions explain in detail the meaning of these warning signs. Read the
instructions carefully before using the system.
1.5 Ultrasound Benefits and Risks
Ultrasound is widely used because it provides many clinical benefits to the patient
and has an excellent safety record. Ultrasound imaging has been used for over twenty
years and there have been no known long-term negative side effects associated with this
technology.
Ultrasound Benefits
- Portability
- Cost-effectiveness
- Multiple diagnostic uses
- Immediate results
- Safety record
Ultrasound Risks
Ultrasonic waves can heat the tissues slightly. It is normal that the probe may feel
warm to the touch while charging. If you remove the probe from the charging pad before
or immediately after charging is complete, it is recommended that you allow the probe to
cool down before use. Since the system limits patient contact temperature and will not
scan at or above 43
°
C (109
°
F), allowing the probe to cool down before use will
optimize scan time performance.
