1-4 Safety Precautions
Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards may result in
hand or arm nerve disorders for some individuals.
Observe the local safety or health regulations concerning
the use of keyboards.
15. When using intra-cavity transducers, do not activate the
transducer outside the patient’s body.
CAUTION:
1. Precautions concerning clinical examination techniques:
This system must be used only by qualified medical
professionals.
This operator’s manual does not describe clinical
examination techniques. The clinician should select the
proper examination techniques based on specialized
training and clinical experience.
2. Malfunctions due to radio wave:
If a radio wave emitting device is used in the proximity of
this system, it may interfere with operations. Do not bring
or use devices that generate radio waves, such as
cellular telephones, transceivers, and radio controlled
toys, in the room where the system is installed.
If a person brings a device that generates radio waves
near the system, ask him / her to immediately turn OFF
the device.
Precautions concerning movement of the system:
When you place the system on the mobile trolley and
move them together, you must secure all objects on the
mobile trolley to prevent them from falling. Otherwise you
should separate the system from the mobile trolley and
move them individually.
When you have to move the system with the mobile
trolley upward or downward the stairs, you must separate
them first and then move them individually.
Object placed on the monitor may fall and injure an
individual when moving.
Fasten and fully secure any peripheral device before
moving the system. A loose peripheral device may fall
and injure an individual.
4. DO NOT expose the system to excessive vibration
through transportation. Mechanical damage may result.
5. Do not connect this system to outlets with the same
circuit breakers and fuses that control the current of
devices such as life-support systems. If this system
malfunctions and generates overcurrent, or when there is
an instantaneous current at power ON, the circuit breakers
and fuses of the building
s supply circuit may be tripped.
Always keep the system dry. Avoid transporting this
system quickly from a cold place to a warm place;
otherwise condensation or water droplets may form
allowing a short circuit and possible electric shock.
