Notes When Returning or Transporting the
System, Probes, and Repair Parts
When returning or transporting the ultrasound system in the original packaging, ensure
that:
The ultrasound system should be adjusted to its lowest height and the monitor
should be folded in the down position.
The control panel should be placed in the center and locked.
Note:
When you return the system, ensure that the system is fully decontaminated, and
human fluids or blood are removed from the system, parts or probes. This is to protect
those who transports, receives or opens this package.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has ruled that “items that were saturated
and/or dripping with human blood that are now caked with dried blood; or which were
used or intended for use in patient care” are “regulated medical waste” for transportation
purpose and must be transported as a hazardous material.
