or collecting log data to the USB thumb drive before removing it from the ZS3 System. Failure
to do so will result in loss of data.
•
Before deleting any Exam data from the ZS3 System, always verify that data was successfully
transferred to USB thumb drive by viewing it on an external reader/player. Review the user
maintenance section of the instructions for use for proper technique and approved agents for
cleaning the external surfaces of the system.
•
Review the ZS3 DICOM conformance statement before integrating with any PACS system.
•
Validate Structured Report export prior to clinical use.
•
Use-time from the optional ZS3 battery pack will vary depending on the system usage and
battery conditioning. Ensure the battery is adequately charged before starting a procedure
without AC main power.
•
Export patient studies in a timely manner. Do not use the system storage as the sole location
of patient studies for an extended period of time.
•
Total Recall data (TRI) should not be relied on for primary storage of diagnostic data. Use of
Total Recall data across software versions is not guaranteed.
•
The system is not indicated for differentiation between malignant and benign breast lesions.
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: Handle with care, very delicate instrument.
•
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
43°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
