EVISION
1.)Read the LOGIQ™ 100 PRO Operator Manual thoroughly before operating the
system and keep at hand for ready reference.
2.)Although the ultrasound energy transmitted from the LOGIQ™ 100 PRO
transducer is within AIUM/NEMA standards, unnecessary exposure should be
avoided. Only trained personnel should operate/service the LOGIQ™ 100
PRO.
3.)To avoid electrical shock, use only the supplied power cords and connect them
to properly grounded power Sock et. Do not use a three pin to two pin adapter.
This defeats the purpose of safety grounding. System should be operated
within the voltage limits.
4.)Probes are fragile, please handle with care. A damaged probe may cause an
electrically hazardous condition when coupled to the human body. A
damaged probe will not produce a desirable image. A damaged probe has to
be discarded. It cannot be repaired or reused. Do not allow the lens to come
into contact with a sharp object or to be knocked against an object.
5.)Do not place liquids on or above the console. If the liquid spills, it may come in
to contact with live parts and can cause an electric shock.This system
contains no operator serviceable components. To prevent shock, do not re
move any covers or panels. Should problems or malfunctions occur, unplug
the power cord. Only qualified Service personnel should service the system.
Accidentally coming in contact with the electrical circuits inside the housing
could cause serious injury.
6.)Do not use Defibrillators when the LOGIQ™ 100 PRO is operated.
7.)Concerning outside markings, refer to ILLUSTRATION 1-1 .
8.)The LOGIQ™ 100 PRO system should not be placed on a soft surface, as it
prevents proper air circulation. The vents for air circulation are on the bottom
cover.
