Important Information
(17) Use the system under the specified environmental conditions.
Otherwise, it may cause failure of the system .
(18) The following instructions must be observed in order to prevent this system from being infected with malware
(malicious software, such as a computer virus or worm that harms computers) .
If the system is infected with malware, the data stored in the system may be lost, tampered with, or leaked; the
system may malfunction; or the system may become a source of malware infection to other products .
• When external storage media are to be used, confirm in advance that the media are not infected with malware.
• The network to connect to should be secure from malware infection .
• Do not perform any other actions that may result in malware infection .
(19) Before disconnecting the power supply cord from the wall mounted AC socket outlet, make sure that the power
to the system is turned OFF or that the battery is fully charged .
Otherwise, the system may fail .
(20) For measurement, use the ultrasound images displayed on the LCD screen .
An incorrect diagnosis may occur when you make a guess at what lies outside the currently-displayed ultra-
sound image on the LCD screen to make a measurement .
(21) Note the following when using or storing the transducer .
• Always place the transducer into the holder with its acoustic lens facing upward to prevent damage .
• Do not sterilize when cleaning and disinfecting the transducer . Doing so may cause failure of the transducer .
• Do not place the transducer in heated water exceeding 40 °C (104 °F) . Doing so may cause failure of the
transducer .
• Do not expose the transducer to fluids that contain organic solvents (excluding, however, the cleaners and dis-
infectants described in this manual) .
Doing so may damage it . There is also a risk of electric shock .
(22) Note the following in regard to output setting of the acoustic power level .
Before using the system, users need to thoroughly understand the basic workings of the ultrasound biological
cause and effect. Users also need to fully understand that introduction of MI/TI will improve the diagnostic ability
of a patient's condition .
For details on MI/TI, refer to "Chapter 9 MI/TI" .
(23) To avoid damage, note the following when cleaning the system .
• Turn the power OFF and disconnect the power supply cord, and remove the battery .
• Do not apply strong pressure to the LCD screen .
• Do not wipe the LCD screen with a hard cloth .
• If necessary, wipe the LCD screen with a soft damp cloth . Do not use detergents or chemical agents .
• Do not use organic solvents (such as benzine, paint thinner, and alcohol) or abrasive cleaners .
• Do not leave water drops on the LCD screen as it may cause failure of the LCD screen .
(24) Note the following in regard to external storage media or peripheral devices .
• Do not connect any broken external storage media or printer . Doing so may cause failure, interference and
malfunction of the system .
• After use, disconnect the SD memory card, USB external storage media, USB microphone or printer from the
system . Do not leave devices other than the printer connected when performing a study . Doing so may cause
an electric shock, injury to the patient, failure, interference and malfunction of the system .
• When connecting external storage media or peripheral devices, choose a model that complies with the safety
standards and regulations of the device .
• Selection, installation, and use of external storage media and printer are the responsibility of the user .
• Do not connect any peripheral device to an external outlet . Doing so may cause an electric shock . To provide
power to a peripheral device, you need to connect it to a Power Extension Unit2 . When making connections to
a Power Extension Unit2, contact your service representative .
• Do not connect anything other than the AC adapter or peripheral devices to a Power Extension Unit2 . Doing
so may impair the safety of the system .
(25) Note the following in regard to file operations of study data.
• Confirm the patient ID and patient name before erasing the data. The data erased cannot be restored.
• Do not turn OFF the system's power switch while printing, exporting or importing study data . Otherwise the
study data may fail or the peripheral devices may fail .
