WARNING
●
This ultrasonic transducer is only for use with the specified diagnostic ultrasound
system. Please refer the diagnostic ultrasound system operation manual to select
the proper transducer.
●
The multiplane TEE Transducer should be used only by a qualified physician who
has received appropriate training in proper operation of the transducer and in
endoscopic techniques as dictated by current relevant medical practices.
●
The multiplane TEE transducer is a precision instrument, which must be handled
with care. It may be damaged when dropped or abused. In particular, do not allow
the ultrasonic window in the tip to come into contact with a sharp object. Do not
touch this window unnecessarily. Never exert force onto the window.
●
To avoid injury to the patient, if any irregularity, substandard function or unsafe
condition is observed or suspected, the TEE transducer should not be used.
●
The insertion part of the transducer meets the water-proof requirements for
soaking disinfection. However the control handle and transducer connector are
not water-proof. Keep the control handle and transducer connector out of any
cleaning or disinfection solutions
●
To avoid injury to the patient and damage to the transducer, use a bite-guard
during all transesophageal exams.
●
The use of a bite-guard is mandatory. Failure to use the bite-guard may result in
damage to the transducer, which could result in a safety hazard. Damage to the
transducer due to biting is not covered by the transducer’s warranty.
