1 Important Information
Operator’s Manual 1 - 3
with the standard IEC60601-1. It is the responsibility of the person, who
connects additional equipment to the signal input or output ports and
configures a medical system, to verify that the system complies with the
requirements of IEC60601-1. If you have any questions regarding these
requirements, consult your vendor.
• When using intra-cavity transducers, do not activate the transducer outside
the patient’s body.
• It is not allowed for the operator to have contact with other patients and the
electronic parts (such as the input/output terminal of the signal) of other
devices that are connected to the system. Otherwise, it may produce the
electrical shock to the patient. DO NOT block the cooling vent of the
system.
• Do not expose the device to a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
• DO NOT make changes or modifications to the software or hardware of this
system.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected
to a supply mains with protective earth.
• Precautions concerning clinical examination techniques:
– This system must be used only by qualified medical professionals.
– This operator’s manual does not describe clinical examination
techniques. The clinician should select the proper examination
techniques based on specialized training and clinical experience.
• Malfunctions due to radio wave:
– If a radio wave emitting device is used in the proximity of this system, it
may interfere with operations. Do not use or take any devices
transmitting RF signals (such as cellular phones, transceivers and radio
controlled products) in the room placing the system.
– If a person brings a device that generates radio waves near the
system, ask him/her to immediately turn OFF the device.
• If the circuit protector is tripped, it indicates that the system or a peripheral
device was improperly shut down and the system is unstable. You cannot
repair the system under this circumstance and must call the Mindray
Customer Service Department or sales representative.
• There is no risk of high-temperature burns during normal ultrasound
examinations. It is possible for the surface temperature of the transducer to
exceed the body temperature of a patient due to environmental
temperature and exam type combinations. Do not apply the transducer to
the same region on the patient for a long time. Apply the transducer only for
a period of time required for the purpose of diagnosis.
• Do not use the system to examine a fetus for a long period of time.
