Validate all entries in the Measurement Summary.
Ultrasound imaging capabilities can vary from patient to patient. Ultrasound should be used as one
component in a comprehensive diagnostic plan.
Never leave a probe in the disinfection solution for more than 45 minutes. Please refer to the
instructions for use that came with the disinfectant for minimal required exposure times. Do not
forget to rinse the probe directly after disinfection.
Only use water-soluble acoustic coupling gel. Other coupling gels can cause probe damage.
Long-term exposure to ultrasound should be minimized. Although there have been no confirmed
adverse effects produced by diagnostic levels of ultrasound, unnecessary patient exposure to
ultrasound energy should be avoided, especially in the Doppler mode.
Use of a non-compatible USB Memory Stick may result in file corruption or long file transfer times.
Please confirm proper operation of any memory stick prior to attempting to use for clinical data.
Make sure the z.one
pro
System has fully completed downloading upgrades, importing/exporting, or
collecting log data to the USB Memory Stick before removing it from the z.one
pro
System. Failure to
do so will result in loss of data.
Wide variability in CD and DVD quality may prevent the system from reliably writing to and
reading from some commercially available discs. ZONARE has tested the CD and DVD in the table
below and currently recommends their use. For up-to-date CD/DVD recommendations, go to:
http://www.zonare.com/support/accessories/media.
Before deleting any Exam data from the z.one
pro
System, always verify that data was successfully
transferred to the CD/DVD by viewing it on an external reader/player..Review the user maintenance
section of the instructions for use for proper technique and approved agents for cleaning the external
surfaces of the system.
Review the z.one
pro
DICOM conformance statement before integrating with any PACS system.
Validate Structured Report export prior to clinical use.
Use-time from the optional z.one
pro
battery pack will vary depending on the system usage and
battery conditioning. Ensure the battery is adequately charged before starting a procedure without
AC main power.
Export patient studies in a timely manner. Do not use the system storage as the sole location of
patient studies for an extended period of time.
IQ scan data should not be relied on for primary storage of diagnostic data. Use of IQ scan data
across software versions is not guaranteed.
Diagnostic data exported to CD/DVD should be verified on an external system before deleting that
data from the z.one
pro
system.
The system is not indicated for differentiation between malignant and benign breast lesions.
USB Memory Stick CAUTIONs
USB Memory Sticks that are purchased from outside sources (besides ZONARE) may not be
compatible for use with a system. USB Memory Sticks which are labeled as “U3 Smart
Technology” on their label or packaging will NOT be recognized (or function) by a system.
In the case of having one of these incompatible format USB Memory Sticks. There are freeware U3
Smart Technology “Removal” programs available on the internet, that can be downloaded and run to
make the USB Memory Sticks useable in the system.
