Foot Switch Warning
WARNING
Do not use the foot switch in the operating room. IEC 60601-1 specifies that
foot-operated control devices used in the operating room must be of watertight
construction. The foot switch supplied with the ultrasound system meets only
drip-proof construction requirements.
Philips Transducers
Use only transducers that are approved by Philips for use with your Philips
ultrasound system. See "Clinical Options and Transducers" on page 196 for a list
of the transducers that are compatible with your ultrasound system.
In the United States, the FDA 510(k) regulatory clearance for use of the product
is applicable only when Philips-manufactured transducers are connected to the
system.
Glutaraldehyde Exposure
The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has
issued a regulation covering levels of acceptable glutaraldehyde exposure in the
working environment. Philips does not sell glutaraldehyde-based disinfectants
with its products, but this type of disinfectant is recommended for the disinfection
of transducers used in TEE, intraoperative, endocavity, and biopsy procedures.
