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.
11.
Electrical and mechanical performance may be degraded due to long period of
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.
12.
Ensure that the current exam date and time are the same as the system date
and time.
13.
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.
14.
Use detachable power supply cord as mains power breaking device. DO NOT
set equipment in a place where it is difficult to disconnect the detachable power
supply cord！

1-8 Safety Precautions
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. Please refer to the 2.3.2 Probes and Needle-
guided Brackets Available to select the proper probe.
2.
Confirm that the probe and cable are normal before and after
each examination. A defective probe may cause electric shock
to the patient.
3.
Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective probe may cause
electric shock to the patient.
4.
Do not disassemble the probe as this may cause electric shock
or malfunction.
5.
Never immerse the probe connector into liquids such as water
or disinfectant because the connector is not waterproof.
Immersion may cause electric shock or malfunction.
6.
A probe sheath must be installed over the probe before
performing intra-cavity or intra-operative 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 probe. 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 the accessories supplied with it are not delivered
disinfected or sterilized. Sterilization (or high-level disinfection)
is required before use.
7.
Disposable components (for example the probe sheath, the
sterile gloves) are packaged sterile and are single-use only. Do
not use if the integrity of the packaging has been violated or if
the expiration date has passed. Use disposable components
which comply with the relevant local regulations.
8.
Please use the disinfection or sterilization solution that
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.
