Cautions on Safety 1-3
The following signs indicate the extent of injury or damage due to incorrect handling of the equipment
without observing the warning precautions.
1.4 Cautions on Safety
1.4.1 Symbols and meanings of warning labels
Danger:
`Failure to follow this message can result in death or serious injury of the patient or operator,
or cause imminent danger of fire.
Warning:
`Failure to follow this message can result in death or serious injury of the patient or operator,
or create a fire hazard.
Caution:
`Failure to follow this message can cause injury to the patient or operator, or may cause dam-
age to the equipment.
For your information:
`Information, to make your work easier.
`mark is indicated on the main unit of the equipment for protecting it from damage.
1.4.2 Before Use
Caution:
`Never use the equipment unless you are a skilled operator.
`According to the description of the different techniques of the system and the different appli-
cations, the user can be only a physician with graduate medicine school or a trained sonogra-
pher.
`The real patient population is composed of any person needing an harmless and non real
invasive examination (invasive examinations are only made through natural orifices). This
person, healthy or not, can be an adult or a child.
`Ultrasound examination can be performed for different purposes and on different body parts.
`Be sure of not exceed the time and quantity required for diagnosis or medical treatment.
`Always monitor the unit and the patient to make sure they are normal.
Caution:
Observe the following when installing the system:
`Install the unit in a place where it is not exposed to water and in a place free from excessive
atmospheric pressure, humidity, ventilation, sunlight, etc., which may affect the performance
of the unit.
`Install the unit in a stable place.
`Make sure the unit is properly grounded.
`Do not remove the protective cover from the equipment.
`Do not modify the equipment.
`Do not reproduce the equipment.
`Do not allow alcohol, water or other liquids to enter the device interior.
`Do not use the system near an MRI.
Caution of Power Voltage:
`The equipment must be operated with the specified input power voltage.
Maintenance and inspection
`Maintenance and inspection are essential for finding signs of physical damage to the equip-
ment, connectors, and all cables.

1-4 Cautions on Safety
1 INTRODUCTION
For your information:
`For more detailed information about Cautions on Safety please refer to UF760AG Operation
Manual (Chapter 1 “INTRODUCTION” on page 1-1) to ensure a safe and proper manipula-
tion of the system.
1.4.3 Important Warning Items
Warning:
Connecting the Power Cord
`Be sure to connect the power cord to a medical-use 3-pin receptacle.
`If potential equalization is required, connect the potential equalization terminal of the equip-
ment and the terminal for potential equalization with the ground wire (equalization of the
ground potential).
`Use a power cord that is approved for use in your area.
Power ON
`Do not use the equipment with a defibrillator.
`If the equipment is used with an electro-surgery, check the connection of the counter elec-
trode plate otherwise skin burns can occur.
Physiological Signal Display
`The ECG module is not designed for electrocardiography or monitoring. Do not use it for
diagnosis.
Connecting a Patient Cable
`Inspect the patient cable before using the equipment.
`If a cardiac pacemaker or other electrically stimulant equipment is connected to the patient,
danger to the patient may result.
Power OFF
`Do not turn OFF the power while you are accessing the USB memory or the HDD.
For your information:
`For more detailed information about Cautions on Safety please refer to UF760AG Operation
Manual (Chapter 1 “INTRODUCTION” on page 1-1) to ensure a safe and proper manipula-
tion of the system.
1.4.4 Warning Labels on the instrument
Warning:
`Do not break, damage or obliterate the warning labels attached to the equipment.

Acoustic Output and Patient Safety 1-5
Thermal Index (TI)
TI is determinate by the ratio of the total acoustic power to the acoustic power required to raise the
tissue temperature by 1°C. In addition, and due to the fact the temperature increases greatly different
according to tissue structures, three kinds of TI are distinguished: TIS (Soft-tissue Thermal Index),
TIB (Bone Thermal Index) and TIC (Cranial-bone thermal Index).
Although the output power is automatically controlled for the selected applications, high TI values
should be kept to a minium or avoided in Obstetric applications. WFUMB (World Federation for Ul-
trasound in Medicine and Biology) guidelines state that a temperature increase of 4°C for 5 minutes
or more should be considered as potentially hazardous to embryonic and fetal tissue.
Mechanical Index (MI)
The mechanical bioeffects are the result of compression and decompression of insonated tissues
with the formation of micro bubbles that may be referred as cavitations.
MI is an index that shows the possibility of appearing cavitations based on acoustic pressure. It is
important to keep the MI value low when both gases and soft tissues are encountered, in cases like
lung exposure in cardiac scanning or bowel gas in abdominal scanning.
Display of TI and MI values
TI and MI values are displayed in real time in the lower left part of the screen. The operator should
monitor these index values during examinations and ensure that exposure time and output values
are maintained at the minimal amounts needed for effective diagnosis.
The TI and MI values are displayed in increments of 0.2. Index values below 0.4 are displayed by the
system as <0.4. To optimize ALARA, index values that are equal or higher than 0.4, are displayed
even if the maximal index value does not exceed 1.0.
Maximum Ultrasound Output
The UF-760AG meets FDA Track 3 requirements and the maximum ultrasound output with real time
displayed of TI and MI indexes is limited as follows:
ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable)
This principle mandates that ultrasound output power and exposure time are kept to the minimum
requiredwithout compromising diagnostic capability or resolution. While therehavebeennoreported
incidents of serious bioeffects in humans for diagnostic ultrasound levels, itis known that an increase
of tissue temperature may occur and that can lead to possible cavitations.
1.5 Acoustic Output and Patient Safety
Intended Use ISPTA.3 MI
Vascular; Cardiac; Abdominal and Ob/Gyn ap-
plications 720 mW/cm21.9
Ophthalmic application is not supported by UF-760AG.

This section describes how to connect the power cord and the ground wire to the system.
Do not turn ON the power of the equipment until the preparation for operation is completed
2.2 Connecting the power cord and the ground wire
Attention:
`Do not attempt connection or disconnection of the cables with wet hands. Electric shock,
short-circuit and risk of fire may occur.
`Do not connect the equipment with non-medical electrical equipment which does not conform
with the safety standards of ISO or IEC.
Connect the AC adapterpower cordto the DC in-
put connector at the rear side of the system.
Connect the power cord to the power connector
of the AC adapter. Connect the power cord plug
(3P) to the medical-use 3-pin receptacle of the
power supply.
Connect the ground wire like shown below.
Before using the equipment connected to a pe-
ripheral device (such as VCR or line printer), be
sure to use an isolation transformer for medical
instruments, and connect the potential equaliza-
tion terminal of the equipment and the ground
terminal of the peripheral device with the ground
wire.

2.3 Connecting probes
For your information:
`Some UF-870AG probes (known as DL probes) can be used on UF-760AG system. A DL
adapter is available to bring to UF-760AG the same range of probes that are available on UF-
870AG.
Connecting UF-760AG probes
Connect the probe connector to the probe recepta-
cle.
Turn the lever on the probe connector clockwise
90° to lock the probe connector.
Connecting probes using a DL adapter
Connect the DL probe adapter to the probe recep-
tacle.
Turn the lever on the probe adapter clockwise 90°
to lock the probe adapter.
Connect the DL probe connector to the DL probe
adapter.
Turn the lever on the probe connector clockwise
90° to lock the DL probe.
For your information:
`To connect a pencil probe to your system you only have to plug it in the corresponding con-
nector.
2.4 Power ON and Power OFF
Power ON
Open the LCD screen.
Connect the ultrasound probe to be used to the
system.
Press the [POWER] key on the opera-
tion panel.
