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.
