Information regarding the concept of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
and possible ultrasound bioeffects is described in the brochure, Medical Ultrasound
Safety, developed by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM).
Thermal Exposure
Some transducers, such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) transducers,
use Auto-Cool software to prevent overheating. The system software issues
on-screen warning messages and (if necessary) terminates the imaging session to
prevent transducer overheating. For more information about Auto-Cool thermal
controls, see “TEE Manual Auto-Cool Safety Feature” on page 229.
WARNING
Your system automatically turns off the transmit power if the device malfunctions.
If this occurs, turn off the system, remove any transducer from the patient, and
contact your Philips service representative.
Electrical Warnings
Follow these warnings to ensure patient and operator safety. Failure to follow
these warnings can affect both patient and operator safety.
