Safety Precautions 1-7 
  4.  To avoid damaging the system, do not use it in following environment: 
z  Locations exposed to direct sunlight; 
z  Locations subject to sudden changes in environmental temperature; 
z  Dusty locations; 
z  Locations subject to vibration; 
z  Locations near heat generators; 
z  Locations with high humidity. 
  5.  Turn ON the system only after the power has been turned OFF for a while. If the 
system is turned ON immediately after being turned OFF, the system may not be 
rebooted properly and could malfunction. 
  6.  Press <Freeze> key to freeze an image or turn off the power of the system 
before connecting or disconnecting a probe. Otherwise, the system and/or 
probe can be damaged. 
  7.  Remove the ultrasound gel from the face of the probe when the examination is 
completed. Water in the gel may enter the acoustic lens and adversely affect 
the performance and safety of the probe. 
  8.  You should properly back up the system to a secure external storage media, 
including system configuration, settings and patient data. Data stored to the 
system’s hard drive may be lost due to system failure, improper operation or 
accident. 
  9.  Do not apply external force to the control panel. Otherwise, the system may be 
damaged. 
  10.  If the system is used in a small room, the room temperature may rise. Please 
provide proper ventilation and free air exchange. 
  11.  To dispose of the system or any part, contact Mindray Customer Service 
Department or sales representative. Mindray is not responsible for any system 
content or accessories that have been discarded improperly. Mindray is not 
responsible for any system content or accessories that have been discarded 
improperly. 
  12.  Electrical and mechanical performance may be degraded due to long usage 
(such as current leakage or distortion and abrasion); the image sensitivity and 
precision may become worse too. To ensure optimal system operations, it is 
recommended that you maintain the system under a Mindray service 
agreement. 
  13.  The replaceable fuse is inside the chassis. Refer replacing job to Mindray 
service engineers or engineers authorized by Mindray only. 
  14.  Do not turn OFF the power supply of the system during printing, file storage or 
invoking other system operations. An interrupted process may not be 
completed, and can become lost or corrupted. 
  15.  The iScape feature constructs a single extended image from a series of 
individual image frames. The quality of the final image is user-dependent and 
requires skill to efficiently apply the feature and technique. Exercise caution 
when measurements are performed from an iScape image. 
  16.  Ensure that the current exam date and time are the same as the system date 
and time. 
Please read the following precautions carefully to ensure the safety of the patient and the 
operator when using the probes.
