Wireless (Option) Mindray supports wireless connectivity using the Quatech Airborne Direct Wireless Ethernet Bridge. This is intended as a workflow enhancement to enable remote viewing and archival of data when a physical Ethernet connection is not available. It should not be relied upon however when time-critical diagnoses are required as multiple environmental factors may affect wireless connectivity performance.
Users should comply with relevant local regulations in terms of approved indications for use. NOTE: The ZS3 Ultrasound System is designed for compatibility with commercially available Ultrasound contrast agents. Because the availability of these agents is subject to government regulation and approval, product features intended for use with the agents may not be commercially marketed nor made available before the contrast agent is cleared for use.
