Safety Precautions

Please observe the following precautions to ensure patient and operator’s safety when using this system.

DANGER:

DO NOT use flammable gasses, such as anesthetic gas or hydrogen, or flammable liquids such as ethanol, near this system, because there is danger of explosion.

WARNING:

1.

Do connect the adapter power plug of this system and power plugs of the peripherals to wall receptacles that meet the ratings indicated on the rating nameplate. Using a multifunctional receptacle may affect the system protective grounding performance, and cause the leakage current to exceed safety requirements. Use the cable provided with this system to connect the printer. Other cables may result in electric shock. You must use the power adapter provided with the system; otherwise electric shock may result. You can only adopt the power supply method provided by Mindray, other power supply modes (e.g. using a UPS) may result in electric shock.

1-2 Safety Precautions

2.

Connect the protective grounding conductor before turning ON the system. Disconnect the grounding cable after turning OFF the system. Otherwise, electric shock may result.

3.

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 protective grounding may result or a gas explosion may occur.

4.

Before cleaning the system, disconnect the power cord from the outlet. System failure and electric shock may result.

5.

This system is not water-proof designed. DO NOT use this system in any place where water or any liquid leakage may occur. If any water is sprayed on or into the system, electric shock or device malfunction may result. If water is accidentally sprayed on or into the system, power off the system immediately and contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative.

6.

DO NOT use a probe that has a damaged, scratched surface, or exposed wiring of any kind. Immediately stop using the probe and contact Mindray Customer Service Department or sales representative. There is risk of electric shock if a damaged or scratched probe is used.

7.

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.

8.

Do not use an aftermarket probe other than those specified by Mindray. The probes may damage the system, causing a profound failure, e.g. a fire in the worst case.

9.

Do not subject the probes to knocks or drops. Use of a defective probe may cause an electric shock.

10.

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.

11.

DO NOT use this system simultaneously with equipment such as an electrosurgical unit, high-frequency therapy equipment, or a defibrillator, etc. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock to the patient.

12.

Only use the ECG leads provided with the ECG module; otherwise electric shock may result.

13.

When moving the system, you should first fold the LCD display, disconnect the system from other devices (including probes) and disconnect the system from the power supply.
