, be sure to wear sterilized medical gloves.
Conducting examinations with the bare hands can expose the operator to a risk of infection.
For the acoustic medium, use sterilized physiological saline.
Using an unsterilized ultrasound medium can cause an infection on the patient.
Dispose the probe used for patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Otherwise, there is a risk of infection to the operator or patient. Our ultrasound probe is not compatible
with any disinfection/sterilization method for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Constantly check for anything abnormal about the patient's condition and equipment.
Continued use without noticing that an abnormal condition has occurred can result in an electric
shock and injury to the operator or patient. If an abnormal condition occurs, immediately move the
equipment away from the patient and stop use of the equipment.
The equipment is vulnerable to damage by impact. Therefore, handle it with care.
There is a risk of damage to the equipment when the equipment is fallen or hit somewhere.

Use with unapproved equipment can result in an electric shock, burn, or other injury to the patient or
operator and damage to the probe and the other equipment.
Scan for the minimum length of time necessary for the diagnosis and at the lowest suitable output.
Overuse can adversely affect the internal tissues of the patient.
For details about the acoustic output, please refer to the documentation supplied with the ultrasound
diagnostic instrument.
