Warnings & Precautions
√ Read this manual before use. Failure to follow the instructions and the Warnings and Precautions below
may result in risk of re or electric shock.
√ Research Consoles & Modules
● Transonic
®
Research Consoles and Modules, and compatible Probes, Sensors, Transducers and Catheters
are designed only for investigative use with animals and are not for use in humans. Contact Transonic
Systems Inc.
®
for alternative products for human use applications.
● Safe and effective use of the Transonic
®
Console with Flow Module(s) and/or Pressure Amplier
Module(s) depends on correct application technique, adequate precaution and readiness for
emergencies. Prevent liquids and vapors from entering the device.
● The instrument Console and/or Modules are fragile electric equipment. They must be transported and
stored at temperatures between -20ºC to +60ºC with humidity between 0 - 90% RH non-condensing.
Rated altitude: 2000 meters. Operational temperatures must be between 0°C to +40°C with humidity
between 20 - 90% RH non-condensing.
√ Perivascular Flowprobes
● Transonic
®
Perivascular Flowprobes are designed for acute use and/or chronic implantation in animals.
Excessive vessel manipulation or constrictive Flowprobe t may cause vessel spasm or damage and thus
should be avoided.
● Recalibration of the Flowprobe is necessary if the Flowprobe is to be used at a different temperature or
on a liquid other than the one for which it was calibrated.
√ Tubing Flowsensors
● Transonic
®
Flowsensors are designed for laboratory use only.
● Transonic
®
Tubing Flowsensors are designed for measuring non-aerated liquid ow in tubing and should
not be applied to blood vessels or other internal ducts. They should be used only on tubings and for
liquids for which they were calibrated.
● Tubing Flowsensors are not designed to measure non-liquid (gaseous) uid ow.
● Clamp-on Flowsensors are not designed to measure liquid ow in metal or hard plastic pipes. Clamp-on
Flowsensors should not be immersed in liquids for extended periods of time.
● Factory or on-site recalibration of Tubing Flowsensors is necessary if the Flowsensor is to be used on a
different tubing, liquid or temperature other than for which it was calibrated.
√ Pressure Transducers
● Pressure Transducers compatible for use with the SP430 Transonic Scisense Pressure Amplier Module
must be used according to manufacturers’ instructions and are only intended for use with animals or
in laboratory models when connected to a SP430 Pressure Amplier Module in a 400-Series Console,
regardless of individual Pressure Transducer classication.
● Transonic Scisense Pressure Catheters contain metal and are not compatible with MRI.
√ Safe Electrical Use
● Use only with grounded power receptacle to reduce risk of shock.
● Position instrument so that rear panel switch and plug are accessible for quick disconnect.
● Install only Transonic
®
manufactured Modules in 400-Series Consoles. Do not use with alternative power
supplies.
● Do not turn on Console unless Modules are installed and panel covers are in place for empty bays.
● Do not remove or replace Modules in the Console with power turned on.
● Keep ammable liquids and vapors away from the Console and Modules. They may cause a re in the
instrument.
● All repair on Consoles or Modules must be performed by qualied electrical technicians authorized by
Transonic Systems Inc.
