Caution:
When using the Site~Rite
®
8 Ultrasound System probe in a sterile environment, the probe and part of the
probe cable must be covered with a sterile, acoustically transparent plastic probe cover.
Caution:
When disinfecting the probe with a liquid disinfectant, do not soak the probe cable, cable bend relief, or
probe buttons; doing so may damage the probe.
Caution:
Apply to the acoustic window (or face) of the probe only commercially available ultrasonic couplant that
has been specifically formulated for use in medical applications.
Caution:
Use water or rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove ultrasonic couplant from the acoustic window (or
face) of the probe; failure to do so may scratch the acoustic window.
Caution:
Do not allow the ultrasonic couplant to dry on the acoustic window (or face) of the probe. If the couplant
should dry, use water or rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove it. Never use a tool of any kind to
remove dry ultrasonic couplant from the acoustic window (or face) of the probe.
Caution:
Some commercially available probe covers contain latex. Natural rubber latex may cause allergic
reactions. Refer to the US FDA alert titled: “Medical Alert: Allergic Reactions to Latex –Containing Medical
Devices,” issued March 29, 1991. Bard Access Systems distributes sterile probe covers and needle-guide
kits that are not made with natural rubber latex.
Caution:
Always snap the needle guides on the probe hook. Do not slide the needle guide onto the needle-guide
hook, as the sterile cover may tear.
Caution:
Do not subject the probe to excessive vibration; doing so may dislodge sensitive components and cause
intermittent or unpredictable operation.
Caution:
If a probe is damaged in any way, discontinue using it immediately, as damage to the system may occur.
Caution:
Avoid subjecting the system or probe to excessive mechanical shock (e.g., throw and/or drop); damage to
the system may occur as a result.
Caution:
Do not use the probe with high-frequency surgical equipment; doing so may damage the Site~Rite
®
8
Ultrasound System.
Caution:
Do not connect to an unsecured network; doing so may compromise data security.
Caution:
This equipment is not designed to meet the standards for Home Healthcare Environments in accordance
with IEC 60601-1-11:2010. This equipment should be operated in clinical environments only.
Caution:
Do not submerge the probe in liquid or allow fluid to enter the connectors. Damage to the equipment may
occur.
Caution:
Prior to each use, inspect the integrity of all power cords and connectors as well as the integrity of the unit
itself. If any problems are found, discontinue use immediately and contact an authorized service
representative. Use of a damaged power cord could damage the machine.
Caution:
Do not force the probe connector; damage to the connector and system could result.
If operating the device in temperatures exceeding 90°F (32°C), the battery charging functionality may be
disabled to protect the battery. To charge the battery in temperatures exceeding 90°F (32°C), the system
may need to be turned off.
