2.3 Ensuring the Safety of Patients and Operators
Observe the following safety precautions to ensure the safety of patients and operators.
DANGER:
This system must be used only when the potential benefits to
the patient are judged outweigh the possible risk to the
patient.
WARNING:
1. Do not use damaged or defective transducers. Doing so
may result in injury to the patient.
2. Take special precautions when examining a patient with
high temperature. A high patient temperature may slow
down cooling of the transducer surface, which may result
in a burn injury to the patient.
If the surface temperature of the transducer becomes
abnormally high, stop using the transducer and contact
your TOSHIBA service representative.
3. This device is contraindicated for ophthalmic use or any
application that causes the acoustic beam to pass
through the eye.
4. Do not look inside the DVD/CD unit. The emitted laser
beam is hazardous to the eyes and other parts of the
body.
5. Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards can result in
hand or arm nerve disorders in some individuals.
Observe the local institutional work safety/health
regulations on keyboard use.
6. Do not use the Fusion function (option) for patients who
use electronic life-support devices (for example, a cardiac
pacemaker or defibrillator). The magnetic field generated
in Fusion mode may affect such devices.
CAUTION:
1. Do not use the transducer on the same region of the patient
for a prolonged period. Low temperature burns may occur.
Use the transducer for the minimum period of time that is
required for diagnosis. Though the transducer surface
temperature may exceed the patient's body temperature
under some ambient conditions and usage modes, the use
of the transducer for normal ultrasound diagnosis is unlikely
to cause low temperature burns.
2. Do not sit on the system. Doing so may result in the system
moving unexpectedly, causing you to lose your balance and
fall.
3. When this system is used to examine an elderly patient or an
infant, an attendant should be present if required.
