Prudent Use Statement
Although no confirmed bioeffects on patients caused by exposure from present diagnostic
ultrasound equipment have ever been reported, the potential exists that such bioeffects may be
identified in the future. Therefore, the ultrasound should be used prudently. High levels of acoustic
output and long exposure time should be avoided while acquiring necessary clinical information.
