WARNING! Risk of serious injury or death with failure to observe this

During this procedure, the blood flow will be interrupted and supply to the patient
will cease.
This procedure should therefore be performed as quickly as possible.
This procedure may only be performed by qualified staff.
Only use ultrasonic contact cream, which is listed as an accessory.
( 8 "Accessories", page 47).
During londer procedures, it is possible that the ultrasonic contact cream might dry
out, which can impair the results of the flow meter. For this reason, the ultrasonic
contact cream must be renewed every 48 hours or as soon as the error message
[SIG!] appears.
