WARNING
1. SHOCK HAZARD-The power receptacle must be a grounded hospital grade outlet.
Never try to adapt the three-prong plug to fit a two-slot outlet. Inspect the power cord
often for fraying or other damage. Do not operate the apparatus with a damaged
power cord or plug. Improper grounding is a safety hazard.
2. SHOCK HAZARD-Do not attempt to connect or disconnect a power cord with wet
hands. Make certain that your hands are clean and dry before touching a power cord.
3. Do not pour any fluid onto the system surface, as fluid seepage into the electrical
circuitry may cause electric shock or system failure.
4. When more than one medical device is connected to the patient, leakage currents of
the devices are summed together. Use caution.
5. Only accessories supplied or recommended by EDAN can be used. Or else, the
performance and electric shock protection can not be guaranteed.
6. Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified
according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore, all
configuration shall comply with the valid version of the standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1.
Therefore anybody, who connects additional equipment to the signal input connector
or output connector to configure a medical system, must make sure that the system
complies with the requirements of the valid version of the system standard IEC/EN
60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult our technical service department or your local
distributor.
7. A damaged probe can also increase the risk of electric shock if conductive solutions
come in contact with internal live parts. Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in
the housing and holes in and around the acoustic lens or other damage that could
allow liquid entry.
CAUTION
1. Before use, you must make sure that there is no visible evidence of damage on the
equipment, cables and probes which may affect patient safety or monitoring
capability. The recommended inspection interval is once per week or less. If damage
is evident, replacement is recommended before use.
2. It is necessary to take the probe out of the probe bracket during moving and
transporting, otherwise, the probe or probe bracket may be broken.
3. The device and accessories are to be disposed of according to local regulations after
their useful lives. Alternatively, they can be returned to the dealer or the manufacturer
for recycling or proper disposal.
