WARNING
Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments
that can easily be damaged by improper handling. Use care
when handling and protect from damage when not in use. Do
not use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these
precautions can result in serious injury and equipment
damage.
WARNING
Never use a probe that has fallen to the floor. Even if it looks
OK, it may be damaged.
WARNING
While the software install procedure is designed to preserve
data, you should save any patient data, images, system setups
to removable media or hardcopy before doing a software
upgrade.
