Disconnect the probe from the system after freezing an image or powering off the

Use the probe carefully. If any part of the transducer surface is scratched,
immediately stop using the probe. Otherwise, there is a danger of electric shock.

After disinfecting the accessories, chemicals must be washed out or gases must be
discharged thoroughly from the accessories. Remaining residual chemicals or gases
could not only result in damage to the accessories but also can be harmful to human
bodies.

handle the biopsy needle guides. During the operation, the operator must observe
proper needle insertion sequencing with the needle guide in order to avoid undue
discomforts, unnecessary risks or injuries to the patient.
