1-8 Safety Precautions
The ultrasonic probe must be used only by qualified
professionals.
Confirm that the probe and cable are normal before and
after each examination. Electrical shock may result from
a defective probe.
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 probe sheath must be installed over the probe before
performing intra-cavity, biopsy or intra-operative
examination.
When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent
infection.
Be sure to use 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.
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.
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 are packaged sterile and are
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.
Please use the disinfection or sterilization solution that
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.
