Safety Precautions 1-9
WARNING:
1. The probe is only for use with the specified ultrasound diagnostic
system. See “2.5.2 Probes and Needle-guided Brackets Available” to
select the proper probe.
2. The ultrasonic probe must only be used by qualified professionals.
3. Confirm that the transducer and probe cable appear normal before
and after each examination. A defective probe may cause electric
shock to the patient.
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 in liquids, such as water or
disinfectant, as 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 examinations.
CAUTION:
1. When using the probe, wearing sterile gloves can help to prevent
infection.
2. Be sure to use sterile ultrasound gel. Use ultrasound gel which
complies 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 prolonged period of time may cause such a
burn.
4. Do not use the carrying case to store the probe. If the carrying case is
used for storage, it may become a source of infection.
5. The ALARA principle must be practiced when operating the
ultrasound system. Minimize the acoustic power without
compromising the quality of images.
6. The probe and the accessories supplied with it are not delivered
disinfected or sterilized. Sterilization (or high-level disinfecting) is
required before use.
7. Disposable components should be packaged sterile and for single-
use only. Do not use if the integrity of the packaging has been
violated or if the expiration date has passed. Use disposable
components which comply with the relevant local regulations.
8. Use disinfection or sterilization solutions recommended in this
operator’s manual. Mindray will not be liable for damage caused by
other solutions. If you have any questions, please contact the
Mindray Customer Service Department or a sales representative.
9. Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. Lubricant may not be
compatible with the probe material and may result in damage.
