Signostics customer support or
your Signostics distributor.

The Uscan probe is connected to the Uscan display running Signostics software to configure a
medical system. The display has been certified by Signostics as part of a medical system to IEC
60601-1: 3rd edition.
Do not connect the Uscan display to external computers or peripherals using the USB port unless the
system is outside the patient area. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in electric shock.
Mounting the Uscan display on a mobile stand is configuring a medical system. Only use the
Signostics provided mobile stand accessory (P004013).
Only connect accessories that are specified as being compatible with Uscan. Contact Signostics
customer support or your Signostics distributor for information on compatible accessories and
systems.
If required, recharge the Uscan Probe only with the Signostics power supply (charger) provided

The Uscan power supplies are dedicated units to be used exclusively with the Uscan System only.

When using the optional Signostics mobile stand, if a Multiple Socket Outlet is required only use an
outlet and power cable certified to IEC 60601-1, and fix to the stand using a bolt and tool.
After storage at extreme temperatures, check the transducer surface temperature before applying to a
patient. A cold or hot surface may burn a patient.
