    Chapter 2 - Safety Probe Safety only when the maximum combination of control settings is selected. Most settings result in a much lower output. It is important to note the following: The duration of an ultrasound examination is just as important as the acoustic output, since patient exposure is directly related to the expo- sure time.

  • Page 22: Electrical Hazards

    Immersing the whole probe in liquid will damage the probe. Do not use the probe if the surface of probe is scratched which may cause electric shock. Please contact WHALE local representative immediately. A damaged probe can also increase the risk of electrical shock if conductive solutions come in contact with internal parts.

  • Page 23: Mechanical Hazards

    Chapter 2 - Safety Patient Safety Do not apply excessive force to the probe cable, to prevent insulation WARNING failure. 2.8.2 Mechanical Hazards Take precaution to avoid mechanical hazards. Inspect probes for sharp edges or rough surfaces that could injure sen- WARNING sitive tissue.

  • Page 24: Diagnostic Information

    These limitations must be considered before making any decision based on quantitative values. If in doubt, the nearest Whale Service Office should be consulted. Equipment malfunction or incorrect settings can result in measurement er- rors or failure to detect details in the image. The user must become thor- oughly familiar with the operation of the unit in order to optimize its performance and to recognize possible malfunctions.

  • Page 25: Electrical Hazards

    Fuses blown within 36 hours of being replaced may indicate a malfunction- ing electrical circuit within the system. In this event, the unit must be checked by Whale Ultrasound service personnel, No attempt should be made to replace the fuse with another fuse of a higher rating.

  • Page 26: Electrical Safety

    Chapter 2 - Safety Electrical Safety 2.11 Electrical Safety Device Classification The Portable Ultrasound Diagnostic Scanner is a Class I device, type BF. The ultrasound system must use a separate, dedicated power outlet. The connected power supply must be reliably grounded. Connecting the optional hard-copy device (printer) incorrectly may re- duce the electrical safety of the system.
