1 Safety Precautions
Operator’s Manual 1 - 3
• Only use the ECG leads provided with the physiology module; otherwise,
electric shock may be resulted.
• When moving the system, you should hold the handle; otherwise, damage
may be resulted by abnormal force. Do not push the system from the left/
right side, otherwise, it may be toppled over.
• The auxiliary power output outlet in the system is used to supply power for
the recommended peripheral devices. Do not connect other devices to the
outlet, otherwise, the rated output power may be exceeded and failure may
be resulted.
• Accessory equipment (analog or digital) connected to the ultrasound
system must comply with the relevant IEC standards (e.g., IEC 60950
information technology equipment safety standard and IEC 60601-1
medical equipment standard). Furthermore, all configurations must comply
with the standard IEC60601-1. It is the responsibility of the person, who
connects additional equipment to the signal input or output ports and
configures a medical system, to verify that the system complies with the
requirements of IEC60601-1. If you have any questions regarding these
requirements, consult your vendor.
• Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards may result in hand or arm nerve
disorders for some individuals. Observe the local safety or health
regulations concerning the use of keyboards.
• It is not allowed for the operator to have contact with other patients and the
electronic parts (such as the input/output terminal of the signal) of other
devices that are connected to the system. Otherwise, it may produce the
electrical shock to the patient.
• When using a probe, pay attention to the status of the ultrasound image.
Do not use the probe to perform image acquisition when the image is
frozen.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
• An additional multiple socket-outlet or extension cord shall not be
connected to the system.
• Precautions concerning clinical examination techniques:
– This system must be used only by qualified medical professionals.
– This operator’s manual does not describe clinical examination
techniques. The clinician should select the proper examination
techniques based on specialized training and clinical experience.
• Malfunctions due to radio wave:
– If a radio wave emitting device is used in the proximity of this system, it
may interfere with operations. Do not use or take any devices
transmitting RF signals (such as cellular phones, transceivers and radio
controlled products) in the room placing the system.
