Ultrasound Operation
The Control Unit is intended for use with the EkoSonic™ Device,
approved cables and electronic devices. Do not connect non-EKOS™
devices, cables (e.g., power cord) or electronic equipment to the Control
Unit. Use of non-approved devices, cables and electronic equipment
could result in electric shock or burn, increased electromagnetic
interference (EMI) emissions, decreased immunity to EMI from other
sources, or delay of therapy.
Inspect all connectors, cables and the Control Unit for damage prior to
use. If damaged (e.g., exposed wires), do not use and replace
Ensure all connectors are dry before connecting the Connector Interface
Cable to the Control Unit or the Connector Interface Cable to the
EkoSonic™ Device. If connectors do become wet, thoroughly dry prior
to use. Fluid in the connectors may affect sensor accuracy and result in
Connect system cables only to their proper connectors as marked and
ensure connections are secure. Failure to do so could result in electric
Avoid spilling fluids on the cables and Control Unit. Do not immerse any
portion of the cables or Control Unit in water or other fluids. Fluids may
cause the equipment to perform inaccurately or fail, which could result in
vascular injury. Additionally, fluids could result in fire or electric shock.
When using two EkoSonic™ Devices (one in channel A and one in
channel B), care should be taken to ensure that desired actions (e.g.,
start ultrasound, stop ultrasound, connect cables, disconnect cables,
respond to an alert message) are performed on the correct channel(s) or
When using two EkoSonic™ Devices (one in channel A and one in
channel B), care should be taken to not cross the device cables. Ensure
each pair of device cables is connected to a single Connector Interface
Cable. If the device cables are crossed, ultrasound is not operational
and could result in delay of ultrasound therapy.
Preparing for Ultrasound Use
1. Verify the Control Unit is securely attached to the recommended infusion
stand, EKOS™ CU 4.0 Cart, or placed on a table near the patient.
