INTRODUCTION
About the ProSound F75
The ProSound F75 is intended to be used by doctors and other qualified personnel in fracture
diagnostics and hemodynamic diagnostics. .
However, this equipment is not designed to be used in ophthalmic ultrasound diagnosis, as its
sound intensity is not compliant with ophthalmic restrictions established by the FDA.
Only physicians and other qualified personnel should operate this equipment for diagnostic
purposes. Read section 1-1 of the Safety Instruction.
1)
