WARNINGS
1. To avoid patient injury during procedure, be careful to check whether the image on the
screen is a live image or a recorded image and verify that the orientation of the image
is as expected.
2. To minimize risk of contamination, always wear gloves during handling of the
displaying unit and ensure that the displaying unit is cleaned and disinfected before
and after each use in accordance with the chapter 14.
3. Portable radio frequency (RF) communications equipment (including peripherals such
as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12
inches) to any part of the displaying unit and the attached visualization device,
including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, this could result in
degradation of the performance of this equipment.
4. To avoid risk of electrical shock only connect mains or battery powered ancillary
equipment, if it is approved as medical electrical equipment.
5. To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment shall only be connected to a supply
mains with protective earth.
6. Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating
normally.
7. To avoid patient injury due to loss of the live image during procedure, ensure to
correctly connect the power cord to an appropriate power source that will ensure
continuous power supply.
8. To avoid patient injury due to overheating of the displaying unit causing it to suddenly
shut down during procedure, do not cover the ventilation holes at the bottom of the
displaying unit.
9. Do not touch any metal parts of the displaying unit while using high frequency tools
(e.g. electrosurgical equipment), due to the risk of electric shock and burns.
10. To ensure that images and videos are correctly exported to external systems and to
avoid potential misdiagnosis due to mixing-up of patient data, carefully
check that the patient identifiers are correct before starting, saving and
exporting the procedure.
CAUTIONS
1. To prevent damaging the displaying unit, always place the displaying unit on a hard
flat surface during use to avoid covering the ventilation holes at the bottom of the
displaying unit. Be aware that covering the ventilation holes can also lead to a high
surface temperature.
2. Using high frequency tools (e.g. electrosurgical equipment) in proximity of a
connected visualization device may affect the live image. This is not a malfunction.
Wait a few seconds for the image to return to normal.
3. Do not place any heavy objects on the top of the displaying unit when it is folded
flat, as this could damage the equipment and lead to malfunction or exposure of
electrical parts.
4. Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified or provided by
the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic
emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in
improper operation.
5. To avoid malfunction during procedure, do not use the displaying unit if it is damaged
in any way or if any part of the functional check described in section 10.1 fails.
