Other recommendations
Like most high frequency computing devices, the electronic 
components of 
Vscan Extend will generate some heat while 
operating normally and as intended. 
Vscan Extend is 
equipped with safety mechanisms which will automatically 
reduce computing speed (frame rate), and ultimately shut down 
the device, before any risk of overheating occurs. 
Vscan 
Extend is verified to comply with harmonized safety standards 
(see ‘Conformance Standards’ on page i-3) under any operating 
condition described in this user manual (see ‘Environmental 
requirements for the device’ on page 3-3). To help keeping the 
Vscan Extend operating temperature at an optimal functional 
level, and to ensure longer scanning time with maximum frame 
rate, it is recommended to hold the 
Vscan Extend so that 
there is good contact between the device and the hand.
CAUTION
For patient and personnel safety, be aware of biological 
hazards. To avoid the risk of disease transmission:
•  Use protective barriers (gloves and transducer sheaths) 
whenever possible.
•  Follow all infection control policies established by your 
office, department or institution as they apply to personnel 
and equipment.
