1.1 Safety symbols
Please note the meaning of the following
safety symbols:
1.2 Environmental conditions of use
The device shall be operated in a clean
atmosphere, without dust and smoke.
The device is designed and tested be ope-
rated within this range of temperature:
• -20°C to +60°C during transportation
and storing
• +10°C to +40°C during operation.
The device is designed to be operated
with a relative humidity range from 10 to
95% including condensation.
The device is designed for the following
atmospheric pressures:
• 700 hPa to 1060 hPa while in operation
• 500 hPa to 1060 hPa during transporta-
tion and storing.
1.3 Electrical safety
This equipment is compliant with IEC stan-
dard 60601-1, Safety for Medical Electrical
Equipment.
According to the standard, the equipment
is classied as:
a) According to the type of protection
against electrical shock:
Class I equipment
b) According to the degree of protec-
tion against electrical shock:
Type BF
c) According to the degree of protec-
tion against harmful water ingress:
IPX0 (device without protection
against water ingress)
d) According to the degree of safety
of application in presence of am-
mable anaesthetic mixture with air,
oxygen or nitrous oxide, device not
suitable for use in the presence of a
ammable anaesthetic mixture with
air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
e) According to the mode of opera-
tion: Continuous operation
In order to ensure patient safety, please
observe these warnings:
The equipment must be supplied by using
the provided power cord including a con-
nection to ground.
The equipment must be used with the
power adapter supplied by IMV Imaging,
reference Protek PMP120-13-2-B2. The use
of any other power adapter is forbidden.

1.4 Battery
The equipment uses an internal Lithium
battery. The battery should exclusively be
replaced in the equipment by the identical
type of battery provided by IMV Imaging.
Replacing the battery by an incorrect type
may cause excessive temperatures, re
or explosion. The Battery is a Lithium-Ion
Polymer battery rating a voltage of 14.8 V
and a capacity of 8400 mAh.
1.5 Surface temperatures
The probes provided with the device are
compliant with the security standards con-
cerning surface temperatures. The probes
have been designed in order to never let
the surface temperature exceed 41°C.
The Exago device has not been designed
to be used together with a high frequency
surgical device. A risk of patient burn might
exist in case of failure in connection of
the neutral electrode of the surgical high
frequency device.
1.6 Probe safety
The probes supplied with the Exago equi-
pment are intended to be used only with
IMV imaging systems.
Never try to connect the supplied probes
to any other ultrasound system. This can
lead to irreversible damage on the probe
connector and to the possibility of much
higher acoustic output than required. This
can also lead to patient burn due to over-
heating of the probe.
For safety and maintenance reasons,
never disconnect a probe from the device
without freezing the system rst.
All probes provided with the Exago device
are compliant with the standard ISO 10993-
1 concerning biocompatibility of compo-
nents used for probe manufacturing.
1.7 Other devices connection
The Exago equipment can be connected
to several peripherals like:
• composite video printers
• USB peripherals (ash stick)
• External screen (DVI connection)
To ensure the electrical safety of the equi-
pment:
All peripherals requiring a power input
(printers, monitors etc.) must also use a
medical isolation transformer or comply
themselves with the electrical safety stan-
dard EN 60601-1. Otherwise, the patient
electrical safety is no longer ensured.
This equipment can cause electromagne-
tic perturbations and alter the behaviour of
another equipment. It may be needed to
move the equipment or change his orien-
tation in order to reduce this perturbation.
Always place the probe in the probe
holder on the trolley or in another secured
place when not used in order to avoid it
from falling either on the patient or on the
oor. Any crack or damage to the probe
head can lead to electrical shock. Never
use a probe that is damaged, that has
been dropped or has suffered a severe
collision until it has been inspected by an
IMV Imaging customer service engineer.
Do not immerse the transducer connector
in any liquid. Immersing it can destroy its
electrical safety features.

2.1 Connection and disconnection of
probes
To connect a probe, put the probe con-
nector in the opening provided for this
purpose (Pic. 1). Turn the locker situated in
the middle of the connector with a slight
pressure in order to engage the locking
mechanism. When the locking mechanism
is engaged, make quarter turn so that the
probe is connected.
After connecting a probe, always place
the probe in a safe place (in one of the
probe holders if the system is used with its
trolley) in order to avoid any damage of
the probe due to a shock or falling down.
Before disconnecting the active probe,
make sure to freeze the image.
To disconnect a probe, make a quarter
turn in order to unlock the connector. Take
the connector out of the device and store
the probe in an appropriate place protec-
ted from shocks.
When starting the device, always make
sure to have a probe connected on the
connector.
2.2 Use of Exago trolley
If the equipment is used with the Exago
trolley, check that a probe is connected to
the right hand side connector.
2.3 Starting of the device
To start/stop the equipment, turn on the
power switch situated on back panel of
the device (Pic. 2)
Then wait until the system starts and dis-
plays the user interface on the screen.
The Exago equipment starts in B mode
with the probe connected. If no probe is
connected, the system will display a label
“No probe”. In this case, connect a probe
to the connector and press “Freeze”, or
restart the equipment.
2.4 Battery operation
The Exago battery can be removed from
the equipment by pressing the two clips
located on the rear of the product. When
inserting the battery back in the device,
check that it is securely fastened. (Pic.1)
When the device is powered by the mains,
the battery is charging whether the device
is on or not. While the battery is charging,
a charging indicator is visible on the back
panel of the device.
