Safety
The following cautions can help to reduce ESD effect:
CAUTIONS
• Do not touch transducer connector pins or the system’s transducer recepta-
cle.
• Handle the transducer by the metal connector shell.
• Make contact with a metal surface of the system before connecting a trans-
ducer to the system.
• On connectors that display the ESD sensitivity symbol , do not touch the
connector pins, and always observe the preceding ESD precautions when han-
dling or connecting transducers. For more information, see “Electrostatic Dis-
charge Guidelines” on page 120.
Biological Safety
This section contains information about biological safety and a discussion of the
prudent use of the system.
A list of precautions related to biological safety follows; observe these precau-
tions when using the system. For more information refer to Medical Ultrasound
Safety on your user information CD.
ARNINGS
• Do not use the system if an error message appears on the video display indi-
cating that a hazardous condition exists. Note the error code, turn off power
to the system, and call your customer service representative.
• Do not use a system that exhibits erratic or inconsistent image updating. Dis-
continuities in the scanning sequence are indicative of a hardware failure that
must be corrected before use.
• Perform ultrasound procedures prudently. Use the ALARA (as low as reason-
ably achievable) principle.
