place where difficult for disconnection of detachable power supply cord.
Please read the following precautions carefully to ensure the safety of the patient and the operator
when using the probes.
• The ultrasound probe is only for use with the specified ultrasound
diagnostic system.
• The ultrasound probe must be used only by qualified professionals.
• Confirm that the transducer and probe cable are normal before and after
each examination. A defective probe may cause electric shock to the
patient.
• Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may cause electric
shock to the patient.
• Do not disassemble the probe to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
• 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.
• A transducer sheath must be installed over the transducer before
performing examination.
• 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.
• When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
• Please use the ultrasound gel com-pliant with the relevant local
regulations. And manage the ultrasound gel properly to ensure that it does
not become a source of infection.
• In normal diagnostic ultrasound mode, there is no danger of a normal-
temperature burn; however, do not keep the probe on the same region of
the patient for more than 10 minutes to avoid risk of burn.
• Do not use the carrying case for storing the transducer. If the carrying case
is used for storage, it may become a source of infection.
• It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasound system.
Minimize the acoustic power without compromising the quality of images.
• The probe and accessories supplied with it are not delivered disinfected or
sterilized. Sterilization (or high-level disinfect) before use is required.
• Disposable components should be packaged sterile and for single-use
only. Do not use if integrity of packaging violated or if expiration date has

local regulations.
