Site~Rite*5
Ultrasound System
Warnings(continued)
Warning:
Do not overtighten screws when attaching to the VESA roll stand mount. Doing so may
damage the scanner.
Warning:
Use only screws provided in packaging. Ensure the unit is secure against the VESA roll
stand mount. Failure to do so may cause the scanner to disconnect from the VESA roll
stand mount.
Warning
: Do not use the probe with high frequency surgical equipment. Doing so may damage the
equipment.
Warning
: Do not pull on probe cable. Doing so may cause the system to tip.
Precautions
Caution:
The adverse biological effects of ultrasound on tissue appear to be threshold effects. When
tissue is repeatedly exposed to ultrasound, with intervals in between, there will likely be no
cumulative biological effect. If, however, a certain threshold has been passed biological
effects may occur. While the Site~Rite 5 acoustic output parameters fall well below all FDA
thresholds for adverse biological effects, any given Ultrasound Procedure should be
performed using the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). The licensed
medical practitioner should limit the time of patient exposure to ultrasonic radiation using
the principle of ALARA.
Caution:
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Caution:
Do not pull the cable to disconnect the probe connector from the scanner. Pulling the
cable may damage the cable, cable connection or scanner.
Caution:
Do not twist or bend the probe cable in excess of that required during normal use of the
probe. Excessive twisting or bending of the cable may cause failure, intermittent or
unpredictable operation.
Caution:
When disinfecting the probe with a liquid disinfectant, do not soak the probe cable,
cable bend relief, probe connector or probe buttons. Doing so may damage the probe.
Caution:
Only apply commercially available ultrasonic couplant, which has been specifically
formulated for use in medical applications, to the acoustic window (or face) of the
probe.
