1 Safety
Basic User Manual 5
●
Use the legally marketed coupling gel in accordance with relevant local regulations.
Read and understand all precautions in the relevant manual of the coupling gel before
use.
●
Prepare, use, store and dispose the cleaner, disinfectant and sterilant according to the
instructions provided by manufacturers.
●
Do not disconnect the probe during the real-time scan. Otherwise, it may damage the
probe and the
system.
●
Disconnect the probe from the system after freezing an image or powering off the
system. Otherwise, the system or the probe could be damaged.
1.2.4 Biohazard Considerations
●
To minimize the risk of cross-contamination or infectious diseases when performing a
biopsy, the operator should wear disposable gloves, protective clothing or protective
goggles if it is needed. Follow the working regulations strictly in case the skin
contacts the samples.
●
Some disinfectants or sterilants are acid or alkaline. Use them with caution, and
prevent hands or clothing from coming into direct contact with them. Wash hands or
eyes immediately in case of any contamination by disinfectants.
●
Dispose of cleaners, disinfectants or solutions in accordance with local standards or
regulations.
1.3 Acoustic Power Principle
●
Perform ultrasound procedures prudently under the guidance of the ALARA (as low
as reasonably achievable) principle. Only expose the patient to the lowest practical
transmit power levels in the shortest possible period to achieve a satisfactory
diagnosis.
●
Freeze the image at any time if you are not operating the system for a long period of
time.
●
Do not scan the same part of an patient continuously or expose the patient to
prolonged scanning. Doing so may harm the patient.
●
Do not expose the fetus to prolonged scanning in the Doppler mode.
●
Although the output power is automatically controlled for the selected applications,
high TI values should be kept to a minimum or avoided in obstetric applications.
●
You should be familiar with the performances and operations of the system, observe
the ultrasound output parameters on the screen at all times.
