dirt, contaminates, or standing liquids.
Caution: Care should be taken to minimize shock and vibration of the
ultrasound system. Avoid uneven surfaces that contain an abrupt height change
or jarring surface irregularities.
You can move the ultrasound system from room to room within a facility
and easily reposition the system during an examination. Be careful on
inclines and uneven surfaces. The ultrasound system can be moved across
pavement and other hardened parking lot surfaces.
Note: The wheels of the ultrasound system must be locked when transporting by
vehicle. The ultrasound system must be sufficiently anchored to the vehicle floor or walls
such that it does not shift or move during transport.
