Total Recall Data (TRI) should not be relied on for primary storage of 
diagnostic data. Use of TRI across software versions is not guaranteed. 
  The system is not indicated for differentiation between malignant and benign 
breast lesions. 
 
Precautions – USB Memory Stick  
USB Memory Sticks that are purchased from outside sources (besides 
Mindray/Zonare) may not be compatible for use with the system.  
Precautions – TEE Transducer 
  TEE: Perform an electrical leakage test prior to each use of the transducer. 
See the TEE Maintenance Guide or the TEE Leakage Test Quick Reference 
Guide for details. 
  TEE: Examine the transducer prior to each use. See the TEE Maintenance 
Guide or the TEE Quick Reference Guide for details. 
  TEE: Clean and disinfect after each use. 
  TEE: Always use a bite guard. 
  TEE: Always use single-use probe sheath.  
  TEE: Ensure articulation locks are disengaged and straighten mechanism 
during device insertion or extraction from patient. 
  TEE: Remove the transducer from the patient prior to defibrillation. 
  TEE: Do not store the disinfected transducer in the carrying case. Only use 
the case for transportation. 
  TEE transducer is a delicate medical instrument, handle with care. 
  The multiplane TEE probe 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 acoustic 
window. 
  The transducer connector is not watertight, and should always be kept dry. 
The control handle, although spray-watertight, should not be immersed. 
  This equipment contains no operator serviceable components. To prevent 
electric shock, do not remove any covers or panels. 
  Never manually deflect the distal tip of the probe; use only the deflection 
control wheels. 
  Do not kink, tightly coil, or apply excessive force on the probe cable or shaft. 
Insulation failure may result. 
  Under normal conditions at full acoustic power the temperature of the tip does 
not exceed 42.7°C. Be sure to check at least monthly that the temperature 
increase of the tip is within limits: 
  Connect the probe to the Ultrasound system. 
  Adjust the acoustic power to the highest value possible. 
  Select Color Doppler mode. 
  Wait for 2 minutes. 
  Feel at the distal end of the probe if there is a temperature increase that 
could be harmful for the patient.
