3. Safety Precautions
Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient’s and operator’s safety when
using this system.
DANGER:
Do not use flammable gasses, such as anesthetic gas, oxygen
or hydrogen, or flammable liquids such as ethanol, near this
system and probes, because there is danger of explosion.
WARNING: 1 Do connect the power plug of this system and power
plugs of the peripherals to wall receptacles that meet the
ratings indicated on the rating nameplate. Using an
adapter or multifunctional receptacle may affect the
system grounding performance, and cause the leakage
current to exceed safety requirements.
2 Do connect the video printer to the auxiliary power outlet
of this system. Use the printing cable provided by this
system to connect the printer. Electric shock may result.
3 Connect the grounding cable before turning ON the
system. Disconnect the grounding cable after turning OFF
the system. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
4 For the connection of power and grounding, follow the
appropriate procedures described in this operator’s
manual. Otherwise, there is risk of electric shock. Do not
connect the grounding cable to a gas pipe or water pipe;
otherwise improper grounding may result or a gas
explosion may occur.
5 Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power cord
from the outlet. System failure and electric shock may
result.
6 This system is not water-proof. Do not use this system in
any place where water leakage may occur. If any water is
sprayed on or into the system, electric shock may result.
If water is accidentally sprayed on or into the system,
immediately turn off the power and contact Mindray
Customer Service Department or sales representative.
7 Store and use the transducers carefully. Do not use a
transducer that has a damaged, scratched surface, or
exposed wiring of any kind. Immediately stop using the
transducer and contact Mindray Customer Service
Department or sales representative.

VIII
8 Do not allow the patient to contact the live parts of the
ultrasound system or other devices, e.g. signal I / O ports.
Electric shock may occur.
9 Only use the transducers provided by Mindray. Otherwise,
the system or the transducer may be damaged, causing a
profound failure, e.g. a fire in the worst case.
10 Do not subject the transducers to knocks or drops. Use of
a defective transducer may cause an electric shock.
11 Do not open the covers and front panel of the system.
Short circuit or electric shock may result when the system
hardware is exposed and powered on.
12 Do not use this system simultaneously with equipment
such as an electrosurgical unit, high-frequency therapy
equipment, or a defibrillator, etc.; otherwise electric shock
may result.
13 Only use the ECG leads provided with the ECG module
from Mindray; otherwise electric shock may result.
14 When moving the system, you should hold the integrated
handle. Holding other parts of the system may cause
damage to the system. Do not push the system from the
monitor, left or right side; the system could become
unstable and topple over.
15 All analog and digital devices connected with the system
must comply with the relevant IEC standards (e.g., IEC
60950 information technology equipment safety standard
and IEC 60601-1 medical equipment standard).
Furthermore all configurations must comply with the
standard IEC60601-1-1. It is the responsibility of the
person, who connects the devices to the signal input or
output ports and configures a medical system, to verify
that the system complies with the requirements of
IEC60601-1-1. If you have any questions, consult your
sales representative.
16 Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards may result in
hand or arm nerve disorders for some individuals.
Observe the local safety or health regulations concerning
the use of keyboards.

IX
CAUTION: 1 Precautions concerning clinical examination techniques:
1) This system must be used only by qualified medical
professionals.
2) 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.
2 Malfunctions due to radio wave:
1) If a radio wave emitting device is used in the proximity of
this system, it may interfere with operations. Do not
bring or use devices that generate radio waves, such as
cellular telephones, transceivers, and radio controlled
toys, in the room where the system is installed.
2) If a person brings a device that generates radio waves
near the system, ask him / her to immediately turn OFF
the device.
3 Precautions concerning movement of the system:
1) Ensure to install the system on a level horizontal surface
and lock the casters securely. Otherwise, the system
may move and cause personal injury.
2) Do not move the system from its sides; otherwise it may
be toppled over and may injure people.
3) When the system is moved on a slope, two persons are
required; otherwise it may slide and cause personal
injury.
4) Do not sit on the system, it may move and cause an
individual to lose their balance and fall.
5) Object placed on the monitor may fall and injure an
individual.
6) Fasten and fully secure any peripheral device before
moving the system. A loose peripheral device may fall
and injure an individual.
7) When moving the system on steps, you shall prevent it
from being toppled.

4
Do not expose the system to excessive vibration through
transportation or irregular hard / soft surfaces when moving.
Mechanical (casters) and electronic (monitor) damage may
result. If the system is moved or transported often in
questionable circumstances, contact Mindray Customer
Service Department or sales representative.
5
Do not connect this system to outlets with the same circuit
breakers and fuses that control the current of devices such
as life-support systems. If this system malfunctions and
generates overcurrent, or when there is an instantaneous
current at power ON, the circuit breakers and fuses of the
building’s supply circuit may be tripped.
6
Always keep the system dry. Avoid transporting this system
quickly from a cold place to a warm place; otherwise
condensation or water droplets may form allowing a short
circuit and possible electric shock.
7
If the circuit breaker 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 Sales or Customer
Service Representative.
8
There is no risk of high-temperature burns during routine
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. If a patient complains of any
excessive heat from the transducer, immediately stop
scanning. To prevent patient burns, ensure there is no
surface damage to the transducer. 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.
9
The system and its accessories are not disinfected or
sterilized prior to delivery. The operator is responsible for the
cleaning and disinfection of transducers and sterilization of
biopsy brackets according to the manual, prior to the use.
All items must be thoroughly processed to completely
remove harmful residual chemicals or gasses that are
harmful to the human body or that may damage the
accessory.
10
It is necessary to press [End Exam] to end the current scan
that is in progress and clear the current Patient Information
field. Otherwise new patient data may be combined with the
previous patient data.
