Do not allow the disinfectant to come in contact with metal surfaces 
(transducer connector). Use a soft cloth and warm soapy water to remove any 
disinfectant that remains on metal surfaces. 
  Keep the control handle and transducer connector out of any cleaning or 
disinfection solutions. The control handle and cable may be cleaned with a 
damp cloth, but only the distal end of the probe up to the 100cm marker on 
the P8-3 TEE and 70cm marker on the P8-3m TEE shaft may be placed into 
a disinfection solution. 
  Do not use other disinfection methods like Iodine, Steam, Heat or Ethylene 
Oxide. 
  When servicing the ZS3 System, always be sure to turn the circuit breaker to 
the OFF position. 
 
 Precautions 
  Transducers are individually licensed according to system configuration. Only 
the following transducers are available without an advanced feature 
configuration: P9-3ic E9-3, C4-1, C6-2, C6-1, C9-3, C9-3sp, C8-3 3D, C10-3, 
C18-5, E9-3 3D, E9-4, L8-3, L10-5, L14-5w, L14-5sp, L20-5, P4-1c, P8-
3mTEE and P8-3TEE. The A2CW and A5CW transducers are enabled if the 
system is configured with "CW Enabled", and can be used under either the 
Echocardiology (optional) or the Advanced Vascular Imaging (mandate) 
mode. Attempting to use any other transducers will result in an error 
message. 
  Be aware of the potential hazards associated with the environment where the 
ultrasound systems will be used. The systems and/or the external equipment 
can be damaged if signal levels are not appropriate. If peripheral equipment 
not specifically authorized by Mindray/Zonare is to be connected to the 
system, it must meet all applicable electrical safety standards that apply to the 
system in order to maintain Mindray/Zonare’s safety integrity. Any equipment 
not supplied by Mindray/Zonare must be approved by Mindray/Zonare. Use of 
non-Mindray/Zonare-approved equipment may result in an unsafe condition, 
impair operation of the ultrasound system, impair diagnostic capabilities, and 
void your warranty or service contract coverage. 
  Mindray/Zonare transducers have a specific range of acceptable application 
use. Users are advised to restrict each transducer’s use to those applications. 
Excessive bending, twisting, pulling, dragging, or compression of transducer 
cables may cause failure or intermittent operation of the system. Avoid rolling 
the cart wheels over cables. Use of cable hooks is recommended to minimize 
chance of damage to cables. 
  If a transducer that has not been approved and licensed for use with the 
ultrasound system to which it is connected, or if a licensed transducer is not 
properly connected, the corresponding transducer identification data will not 
display on the LCD Display. Imaging will be disabled. Resolve this issue 
before continuing use.
