system’s hard drive may be lost due to system failure, improper operation or
accident.
9. Do not apply external force to the control panel. Otherwise, the system may be
damaged.
10. If the system is used in a small room, the room temperature may rise. Please
provide proper ventilation and free air exchange.
11. To dispose of the system or any part, contact Mindray Customer Service
Department or sales representative. Mindray is not responsible for any system
content or accessories that have been discarded improperly. Mindray is not
responsible for any system content or accessories that have been discarded
improperly.
12. Electrical and mechanical performance may be degraded due to long usage (such
as current leakage or distortion and abrasion); the image sensitivity and precision
may become worse too. To ensure optimal system operations, it is recommended
that you maintain the system under a Mindray service agreement.
13. The replaceable fuse is inside the chassis. Refer replacing job to Mindray service
engineers or engineers authorized by Mindray only.
14. Do not turn OFF the power supply of the system during printing, file storage or
invoking other system operations. An interrupted process may not be completed,
and can become lost or corrupted.
15. The iScape feature constructs a single extended image from a series of individual
image frames. The quality of the final image is user-dependent and requires skill to
efficiently apply the feature and technique. Exercise caution when measurements
are performed from an iScape image.
16. Ensure that the current exam date and time are the same as the system date and
time.
17. Use the pluggable power supply as the net power supply breaking facility.
Please read the following precautions carefully to ensure the safety of the patient and the operator when
using the probes.
WARNING:
1. The ultrasonic probe is only for use with the specified ultrasonic
diagnostic system. See Chapter 2.4.2 Probes and Needle-guided Brackets
Available for details.
2. The ultrasonic probe must be used only by qualified professionals.
3. Confirm that the transducer and probe cable are normal before and
after each examination.A defective probe may cause electric shock
to the patient.
4. Do not subject the probe to shock. Adefective probe may cause
electric shock to the patient.
5. Do not disassemble the probe to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
6. Never immerse the probe connector into liquids such as water or
disinfectantbecause the connector is not waterproof. Immersion
may cause electric shock or malfunction.

1-8 Safety Precautions
7. A transducer sheath must be installed over the transducer before
performing examination.
Caution:
1. When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
2. Be sure to use sterile ultrasound gel. Please use the ultrasound gel compliant
with the relevant local regulations. And manage the ultrasound gel properly to
ensure that it does not become a source of infection.
3. In normal diagnostic ultrasound mode, there is no danger of a
normal-temperature burn; however, keeping the probe on the same region of
the patient for a long time may cause such a burn.
4. Do not use the carrying case for storing the transducer. If the carrying case is
used for storage, it may become a source of infection.
5. It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasound system. Minimize
the acoustic power without compromising the quality of images.
6. The probe and accessories supplied with it are not delivered disinfected or
sterilized. Sterilization (or high-level disinfect) before use is required.
7. Disposable components should be packaged sterile and for single-use only.
Do not use if integrity of packaging violated or if expiration date has passed.
Please use the disposable components compliant with the relevant local
regulations.
8. Please use the disinfection or sterilization solution recommended in this
operator’s manual; otherwise Mindray will not be liable for damage caused by
other solutions. If you have any questions, please contact Mindray Customer
Service Department or sales representative.
9. Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. Lubricant may not be
compatible with the probe material and damage may result.
10. The damage of the transducer may be caused by the contact of improper gel
or cleaner:
DO NOT dip the transducer in the strong polar solution of ethanol,
chloride of lime, ammonium chloride, acetone and formaldehyde.
DO NOT contact the transducer with solution or ultrasound gel containing
oily medium such as mineral oil or lanoline.
Note:
1. Read the following precautions to prevent the probe from malfunction:
Before connecting or disconnecting the probe, freeze or turn off the diagnostic
ultrasound system.
Clean and disinfect the probe before and after each examination.
After the examination, wipe off the ultrasound gel thoroughly.Otherwise, the
ultrasound gel may solidify and the image quality would be degraded.
