Important Information
(1) Specialized knowledge is required for proper maintenance and inspections. Maintenance of this system should
be done by qualied persons or experts.
(2) Deterioration of electrical and mechanical safety characteristics (such as generation of a leakage current or de-
formation/abrasion of mechanical parts) and of image sensitivity and resolution may occur over a period of time.
A maintenance service contract is recommended to avoid accidents and erroneous diagnosis, and to maintain
system performance.
(3) This system should only be used by fully qualied and certied medical personnel. This system should be used
only by persons conversant with the basic principles and techniques of ultrasound examinations and adequately
trained in clinical procedures.
(Please carefully read the Operation Manual for the ULTRASOUND SYSTEM before operation. This Operation
Manual includes all the information needed for using the ULTRASOUND SYSTEM. Please contact your service
representative if you have any question.)
(4) This system is designed to provide physicians with data for clinical diagnosis.
(5) Important data must be backed up to an external recording media.
(6) Do not make changes or modications to this system (including software).
(7) Konica Minolta oers after-sales services at user's expense. Maintenance and inspection services to maintain
the performance of this system are also available. Contact your service representative for more information.
(8) This manual contains important Safety Precautions & Warnings and operating instructions to ensure the safe
and proper use of the system.
(9) Failure to comply with these warnings and cautions may result in system failure, injury or property damage.
(10) Do not connect any peripheral devices other than an SD memory card recommended for the system and the
USB devices described in this operation manual with the connector of the system. Doing so may cause an elec-
tric shock, or a failure, interference or malfunction of the system.
Selection, installation, and use of the SD memory card and the USB devices described in this operation manual
are the responsibility of the user.
Use of the SD memory card and the USB devices described in this operation manual could result in unforesee-
able risks to patients, operators or third parties. Identifying, analyzing, evaluating and controlling these risks are
the responsibility of the user attempting to use the USB port with third party hardware. Subsequent changes to
the connection of peripheral devices could introduce new risks and require additional analysis.
"Changes" include;
• changes in the congurations (structures) of peripheral devices,
• connection of additional items to the connector,
• disconnecting items from the connector,
• update of equipment connected to the connector,
• upgrade of equipment connected to the connector.
(11) Do not give mechanical shock to the transducer. (Do not forcibly press it against hard objects, and do not drop
it. Do not forcibly twist or bend the cable.)
Doing so may cause failure of the transducer.
(12) Do not forcibly press on the system.
Doing so may cause failure of the system.
(13) Do not ride, sit or lean on the system.
Doing so may cause failure of the system.
(14) Do not rub the LCD screen with a hard material or press the LCD screen with strong force.
Doing so may cause failure of the LCD screen.
(15) Do not attempt to display any ultrasound images which were recorded or edited on a dierent system.
Doing so may cause damage to the images. (except library function)
(16) To prevent damage, do not use or keep the system in locations that are:
• exposed to direct sunlight or X-rays
• subject to sudden changes in temperature
• dusty
• subject to vibration or shock
• near heat generators
• high humidity
• environment with fear of infection
