•
If the ZS3 System has been moved between environments with extremes of temperature and/or
humidity, allow the ZS3 System to rest for at least 30 minutes in a controlled environment before
using.
•
Do not use the ultrasound system if any error message displays on the screen.
•
Do not block airflow to any ventilation holes on the system.
•
Do not submerge the transducer past the points indicated in Transducers Cleaning
and Disinfection’ accompanied with the transducer.
•
Do not spill liquid on the systems or transducers.
•
Using a non-recommended cleaning or disinfectant solution, incorrect solution strength, or
immersing the transducer deeper or longer than indicated can damage the transducer.
Damages linked to the use of disapproved chemicals are not covered under product warranty or
service contract.
•
The use of non-shielded cables may result in increased emissions and decreased
immunity to external signals
•
Operating the systems in the presence of external electromagnetic fields can degrade the
quality of the ultrasound image. High-frequency devices, such as electro-surgical devices, can
produce image artifacts. If required, a review of the local electromagnetic environment may be
required to minimize the sources of external noise generators.
•
The use of non-Mindray approved cables and accessories may result in
increased radiated emissions as well as decreased immunity to external signal
fields.
•
Before beginning to image a new patient, be sure to conclude any in-progress patient exam.
Failure to do so will result in any subsequent storing of images being mistakenly written to the
previous patient exam directory.
•
Some components or devices such as transducer covers used with systems are for single-
patient use only. Reuse, reprocessing, or re-sterilization of these devices may compromise
their structural integrity.
•
Any image sets stored on the system that are not identified by patient name and number will
be stored with a unique number based off of the system ID.
•
Exercise care in adjusting all settings to avoid obscuring low-level signals that
may have diagnostic value. Improper settings can seriously degrade image
quality.
•
Do not touch exposed metal of transducer connector.
•
Validate all entries in the Measurement Summary.
•
Ultrasound imaging capabilities can vary from patient to patient. Ultrasound should be used
as one component in a comprehensive diagnostic plan.
•
Never leave a probe in the disinfection solution for more than 45 minutes. Please refer to the
instructions for use that came with the disinfectant for minimal required exposure times. Do
not forget to rinse the probe directly after disinfection.
•
Only use water-soluble acoustic coupling gel. Other coupling gels can cause probe damage.
•
Long-term exposure to ultrasound should be minimized. Although there have been no
confirmed adverse effects produced by diagnostic levels of ultrasound, unnecessary patient
exposure to ultrasound energy should be avoided, especially in the Doppler mode.
•
Use of a non-compatible USB thumb drive may result in file corruption or long file transfer
times.
•
Please confirm proper operation of any thumb drive prior to attempting to use for clinical data.
•
Make sure the ZS3 System has fully completed downloading upgrades, importing/exporting,
