S6 Portable Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System
Service Manual
2) Disconnect all the probes from the system and place them in
their carrying case.
3) Ensure that all the peripherals and auxiliary devices have been
disconnected from the system.
4) If you are moving the docking cart together with the S6 system,
unlock the wheels.
5) Now you can hold the handle and push the system to the des-
tined place.
∗ If the system is to be transported for long distance, take the fol-
lowing precautions as well:
6) It’s highly recommended to backup the critical data (e.g. patient
data and images) to a DVD/CD or hardcopy.
7) Ensure that the system is well prepared and packed in its original
packaging before transporting.
8) Place the system upwards, and ensure that it is firmly secured
while inside the vehicle during transport.
Warning!
Avoid collisions and excessive vibrations to prevent data loss
or system malfunction.
Never move the equipment which is still operating.
Environmental Conditions for Transportation:

2.5 Human Safety
Modern diagnostic ultrasound system has been proved to be safe for daily
diagnostic usage, however, only the well trained/educated medical person-
nel should operate the equipment. The ALARA (As Low As Reasonably
Achievable) principle must be observed. The following are some more de-
tailed guidelines on safety use of the equipment.
• Keep the power levels and the exposure time as low as possible, as
long as a satisfactory diagnosis has been achieved.
• Use the freeze function or move the probe away from the patient
while not scanning.
• Do not rest the transducer on the skin surface when not scanning.
