Inspect the battery for damage before charging or placing the battery in the z.one
pro
System.
Do not connect battery to an electrical power outlet.
Do not continue to recharge the battery if it does not recharge fully after 4 hours.
To avoid electrical shock, do not touch the battery contact.
Warnings – ECG
The ECG and the Respirometer functionality are not intended for ECG diagnosis. It must not be used
for intraoperative applications of the heart. Use only the recommended patient cable supplied by
ZONARE. Make sure that bare parts of the electrodes and the patient do not come in contact with
conductive parts, such as metal examination beds, trolleys, and similar items.
Before defibrillation, always disconnect the ECG cable connector from the system and make sure the
connector does not come in contact with other persons or conductive surfaces, such as metal
examination beds, trolleys, and similar items.
Operating your system with ECG signals below 0.25 mV may cause inaccurate results.
Warnings – TEE Transducer
The multiplane TEE transducer should be used only by a qualified physician who has received
appropriate training in proper operation of the probe and in endoscopic techniques as dictated by
current relevant medical practices.
Electrical Hazard: Any evidence of damage indicates the probe cannot be used and should be
returned to ZONARE for evaluation and repair.
Biological Hazard: Adequate cleaning and, if necessary, disinfection are carried out to prevent
disease transmission. It is the responsibility of the user to verify and maintain the effectiveness of the
procedure used. A single-use, sterile disposable sheath for TEE purposes can be used.
Inspect the transducer connector pins for contamination or damaged pins that might interrupt signal
flow through the connection. Be sure to check pins before connecting transducer to the ZONARE
ultrasound system. If pins are bent, broken, or missing, do not use the transducer and call ZONARE
Technical Support.
Immediately replace a transducer that exhibits any damage symptoms.
Before introducing the probe, do not rub or spray the tip of the probe with an anesthetic agent.
Avoid forceful manipulations and excessive force in using the probe that could result in patient
injury.
Withdraw the probe only with the deflection control in the unlock mode and with the distal end of
the probe straight.
The use of a biteguard is mandatory. Failure to use the biteguard may result in damage to the probe,
which could result in a safety hazard. Damage to the probe due to biting is not covered by the
probe's warranty.
Check if the maximum deflection of the tip is 90° to 120° upward, 60° to 90° downwards and 30° to
45° left/right. If the deflection shows an unwanted amount of free play or exceeds the maximal
deflection angles given above, do not use the probe. Contact the service organization to re-adjust the
steering of the probe. In this way, the risk of "buckling" or "U-turning" of the probe in the esophagus
is minimized.
Avoid damage to the probe by allowing nothing to protrude beyond the case when closing the lid.
