CAUTION:
1-8 Safety Precautions
4.
Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may cause
electric shock to the patient.
5.
Do not disassemble the probe to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
6.
Never immerse the probe connector into liquids such as water
or disinfectant because the connector is not waterproof.
Immersion may cause electric shock or malfunction.
7.
A probe sheath must be installed over the probe before
performing intra-cavity or intra-operative examination.
1.
When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
2.
Be sure to use sterile ultrasound gel. Please use the ultrasound
gel compliant with the relevant local regulations. And manage
the ultrasound gel properly to ensure that it does not become a
source of infection.
3.
In normal diagnostic ultrasound mode, there is no danger of a
normal-temperature burn; however, keeping the probe on the
same region of the patient for a long time may cause such a
burn.
4.
Do not use the carrying case for storing the probe. If the carrying
case is used for storage, it may become a source of infection.
5.
It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasound
system. Minimize the acoustic power without compromising the
quality of images.
6.
The probe and accessories supplied with it are not delivered
disinfected or sterilized. Sterilization (or high-level disinfect)
before use is required.
7.
Disposable components should be packaged sterile and for
single-use only. Do not use if integrity of packaging violated or if
expiration date has passed. Please use the disposable
components compliant with the relevant local regulations.
8.
Please use the disinfection or sterilization solution
recommended in this operator's manual; otherwise Mindray will
not be liable for damage caused by other solutions. If you have
any questions, please contact Mindray Customer Service
Department or sales representative.
9.
Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. Lubricant may
not be compatible with the probe material and damage may
result.
10. The damage of the probe may be caused by the contact of
improper gel or cleaner:
DO NOT soak or saturate probes in the strong polar solution
of ethanol, chloride of lime, ammonium chloride, acetone or
formaldehyde.
DO NOT contact the probe with solutions or ultrasound gels
containing oily medium such as mineral oil or lanoline.
