completed. Water in the gel may enter the acoustic lens and adversely affect the
performance and safety of the probe.
8. You should properly back up the system to a secure external storage media,
including system configuration, settings and patient data. Data stored to the
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 probe is only for use with the specified ultrasonic diagnostic
system. Please refer to the “2.5.2 Probes and Needle-guided Brackets
Available ” to select the proper probe.
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.

1-8 Safety Precautions
4. Do not subject the probe to shock. A defective 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
disinfectant because the connector is not waterproof. Immersion
may cause electric shock or malfunction.
7. A probe sheath must be installed over the probe before performing
intra-cavity or intra-operative examination.
CAUTION:
1. When using the probe, wearing sterile gloves can help 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 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 probe may be caused by the contact of improper
gel or cleaner:
DO NOT soak or saturate probes in the strong polar solution of
ethanol, chloride of lime, ammonium chloride, acetone or
formaldehyde.
DO NOT contact the probe with solutions or ultrasound gels
containing oily medium such as mineral oil or lanoline.
