1-8 Safety Precautions
4. Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may cause
electric shock to the patient.
5. Do not disassemble the probe to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
6. Never immerse the probe connector into liquids such as water or
disinfectant because the connector is not waterproof. Immersion
may cause electric shock or malfunction.
7. A probe sheath must be installed over the probe before performing
intra-cavity or intra-operative examination.
1. When using the probe, wearing sterile gloves can help to prevent
infection.
2. Be sure to use sterile ultrasound gel. Please use the ultrasound gel
compliant with the relevant local regulations. And manage the
ultrasound gel properly to ensure that it does not become a source of
infection.
3. In normal diagnostic ultrasound mode, there is no danger of a
normal-temperature burn; however, keeping the probe on the same
region of the patient for a long time may cause such a burn.
4. Do not use the carrying case for storing the probe. If the carrying
case is used for storage, it may become a source of infection.
5. It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasound system.
Minimize the acoustic power without compromising the quality of
images.
6. The probe and accessories supplied with it are not delivered
disinfected or sterilized. Sterilization (or high-level disinfect) before
use is required.
7. Disposable components should be packaged sterile and for single-
use only. Do not use if integrity of packaging violated or if expiration
date has passed. Please use the disposable components compliant
with the relevant local regulations.
8. Please use the disinfection or sterilization solution recommended in
this operator’s manual; otherwise Mindray will not be liable for
damage caused by other solutions. If you have any questions, please
contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales
representative.
9. Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. Lubricant may not be
compatible with the probe material and damage may result.
10. The damage of the probe may be caused by the contact of improper
gel or cleaner:
DO NOT soak or saturate probes in the strong polar solution of
ethanol, chloride of lime, ammonium chloride, acetone or
formaldehyde.
DO NOT contact the probe with solutions or ultrasound gels
containing oily medium such as mineral oil or lanoline.
