  • Page 8: Safety

    Only use Edan supplied battery. Read and understand the battery installation instructions prior to changing the battery.  Only use Edan supplied transducer. Use of other transducers may result in electric shock or system malfunction.  Only use a hospital grade, grounded, power outlet and plug. Do not use with an ungrounded outlet.
  • Page 9 SHOCK HAZARD – Do not connect non-isolated electrical equipment to the same circuit being used to power the system.  Edan recommends the use of isolated connectors on any electrical equipment attached to the system, and/or using isolation transformers that comply with IEC60601-1 to power that electrical equipment.

  • Page 10: Cautions

    Do not use a battery that leaks, emits an odor, appears deformed, or discolored. Immediately replace it with a new Edan-supplied battery and dispose of the old battery according to local regulations. Replace a battery that has reached the end of its service life.
  • Page 11 Confirm patient identification information prior to storing or printing any exam information.  If you have any questions about maintenance, technical specifications, or system functionality, please contact your local distributor or Edan Service at: support@edan.com.cn  Ultrasound images occasionally have artifacts, and should only be used as one part of an overall clinical assessment.
