WARNING

QuickCover only provides protection for the superficial tissue layer immediately behind

the cover strip.

Using protective cover strips side-by-side may lead to distorted heating due to the large

area of blocked ultrasound beam.

Using protective cover strips side-by-side may lead to transducer damage due to the

large intensity of reflected ultrasound.

Air bubbles trapped on the skin at an edge of a protective cover strip may lead to a local

skin burn. This risk is especially pronounced if protective cover strips are used so that

they overlap with each other.

Storing QuickCover strips under a weight may lead to compression and a permanent

loss of protective capabilities.

6.7. Preparing the system for sonication

The treatment cannot be started until the hardware initialization is successful. Planning is possible

during hardware initialization.

NOTICE

The MR scanner cannot export images to the hospital network once Network Isolation is in

progress. Before starting the Hardware Initialization, make sure that there are no image export

tasks running or queued on the MR workstation.

Press the green Enable button on the Safety Device to enable the ultrasound generators.

Perform the hardware tests. If any of the tests fail, check the message log for problems in the

system. Retry until the tests succeed.
