General caution
For safe use of the ultrasound scanner and probe, it is advisable
to strictly observe the following:
1)
Federal law restricts this device to use by or on the order
of a physician.
2)
Be sure to read and observe the "General Cautions in
Operation" stated in the operation manual for the ultrasound
scanner with which the probe is to be used.
3)
The probe and ultrasound scanner with which it is used should
never be operated in an environment at a higher or lower
temperature, under a higher or lower pressure and a higher
humidity, than the specified operating ambient conditions.
(Also see the paragraph "10. Specifications".)
4)
Never try to remodel the probe and ultrasound scanner; if
they are remodeled, a fault will possibly be caused.
5)
Do not use chemicals or organic solvents such as thinner for
wiping the probe. (See the paragraph "9.1 Probe Care".)
6)
Do not hit or drop the probe because the inside of the probe
head is easily broken by mechanical shocks.
7)
Keep the probe head off substances containing fatty acid
(hydrocarbon of methane series, paraffin). Because it soaks
into the inside of the probe head through the surface of the
probe head and cause a fault.
8)
If the ultrasound scanner and probe malfunction, contact our
service personnel.
9)
The use of a sterile probe sheath is recommended with this
probe.
10)
Use only sterilized acoustic gel during examinations in which
sterile techniques are used.
NOTE:
The warranty period of the probes is one year from their
delivery to the user. If they become faulty within this period
and it is evident that Hitachi is responsible for the fault,
they will be repaired or replaced with normal ones free of
charge.
