General warning, caution, risk of danger.
Safety Precautions Please read the following precautions carefully to ensure the safety of the patient and the operator when using this transducer.
DANGER:
DO NOT use flammable gasses, such as anesthetic gas or hydrogen, or flammable liquids such as ethanol, near the product, because there is danger of explosion.
WARNING:
1. Confirm that the transducer and cable are normal before and after each examination. A defective transducer may cause electric shock to the patient. 2. Do not subject the transducer to shock. A defective transducer may cause electric shock to the patient.
VI
3. Do not disassemble the transducer to avoid the possibility of electric shock. 4. Never immerse the transducer connector into liquids such as water or disinfectant because the connector is not waterproof. Immersion may cause electric shock or malfunction. 5. The ultrasonic transducer is only for use with the specified ultrasonic diagnostic system. Please refer the ultrasonic diagnostic system operation manual to select the proper transducer. 6. A transducer sheath must be installed over the transducer before performing examination. 7. 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.
CAUTION:
1. When using the transducer, wear sterile gloves to prevent infection. 2. Be sure to use ultrasound gel. Please use the ultrasound gel compliant with the relevant local regulations. 3. In normal diagnostic ultrasound mode, there is no danger of a low-temperature burn; however, keeping the transducer 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 transducer. If the carrying case is used for storage, it may become a source of infection. 5. The transducer and accessories supplied with it are not delivered disinfected or sterilized. Sterilization (or highlevel disinfect) before use is required. 6. It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasound system. Minimize the acoustic power without compromising the quality of images. 7. Disposable components are packaged sterile and are 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 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. 9. Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. Lubricant may not be compatible with the transducer material and damage may result.
VII
10. Transducer damage may be caused by inappropriate gel, detergent or cleanser: Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride compounds, acetone or formaldehyde. Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral oil or lanolin.
NOTE:
1. Read the following precautions to prevent the transducer from malfunction. z z
Before connecting or disconnecting the transducer, freeze or turn off the ultrasonic diagnostic system. Clean and disinfect the transducer before and after each examination.
2. Ambient conditions: To prevent the transducer from being damaged, do not use it where it will be exposed to: z direct sunlight or X-rays z sudden changes in temperature z dust z excessive vibration z heat generators Use the transducer under the specified ambient conditions, for details; please refer to “8 Specifications”.
3. Repeated disinfection will eventually damage the transducer, please check the transducer’s performance periodically.

Overview
1.1 Safety Classification Please refer to the safety classification information in the related operator’s manual for the ultrasonic diagnostic system that matches with the transducer.
1.2 Applications Please check the operator’s manual for the ultrasonic diagnostic system to check the compatibility of the transducer. For the intended use, please refer to the operator's manuals of the corresponding diagnostic ultrasound system.
1.3 Acoustic Power The effects of acoustic power on human tissue are currently under investigation. Therefore, it is recommended that diagnostic ultrasound output power be set to the lowest possible levels in accordance with the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle. Please refer to the operator’s manual of the ultrasonic diagnostic system.
