2.1.3. General Cautions
CAUTION
1. Before use, you must make sure that there is no visible evidence of damage to the
equipment, cables and probes, which may affect patient safety or diagnostic
capability. The recommended inspection interval is once per week or less. If damage
is evident, replacement is recommended before use.
2. If the power cord of the system is missing, damaged or not provided, please
purchase the power cord meeting the specification requirements for the original one
and complying with the local regulations.
3. 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.
4. The normal ultrasonic examination is recognized as being safe. To avoid burns, do
not scan in the same area for a long period of time. Always minimize the exposure
time while acquiring necessary clinical information
5. To ensure proper grounding and leakage current levels, it is the policy of EDAN to
have an authorized EDAN representative or an EDAN approved third party to
perform all on-board connections of documentation and storage devices to the U60.
