Lumify Ultrasound System 29
Philips Healthcare 4535 618 58571_A/795 * MAY 2016
CAUTION
Excessive bending or twisting of cables on patient-applied parts may cause failure or
intermittent operation of the system.
CAUTION
In general, only the area of the transducer acoustic window is liquid-tight. Except where
specified in specific transducer-cleaning instructions, do not immerse the remainder of a
transducer in any liquid.
CAUTION
Do not submerge the transducer connector in solution. The cables and transducer bodies are
liquid‑tight, but the connectors are not.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners, or acetone, MEK, paint thinner, or other strong solvents on
the system, peripherals, or transducers.
CAUTION
If systems, transducers, and peripherals have been in an environment below 10°C (50°F),
allow them to reach room temperature before connecting or turning them on. Philips
recommends allowing 24 hours for complete normalization. Otherwise, condensation inside
the devices could cause damage. If the device was only briefly exposed to temperatures
below 10°C (50°F), then the time required for the device to return to room temperature
could be significantly less than 24 hours.
