Under certain circumstances, the Kosmos Bridge enclosure can reach
temperatures that exceed safe (IEC 60601-1) limits for patient contact.
Make sure that only the operator handles the system. Avoid placing
Kosmos Bridge on the patient during use.
The maximum temperature of the Kosmos Torso scan head may be
greater than (41C) but is less than (43C) when in contact with the patient
for normal use. Special precautions should be considered when using the
transducer on children or on other patients who are sensitive to higher
temperatures.
To reduce the risk of infection, use sterile sheaths when conducting
needle procedures.
To avoid a mix-up of patient data, complete the exam before examining a
new patient.
