WARNING: 8. Do not subject the transducers to knocks. Use of defective transducers may cause an electric shock. 9. Do not remove the covers or panels of the system, or electric shock may result. 10. Prolonged and repeated use of keyboards can result in hand or arm nerve disorders in some individuals. Observe the local institution work safety/health regulations on keyboard use. 11. When the optional ECG cable is used, the following measures are required. (1) To prevent electric shock, check the following items before operation. • There must be no abnormality of the ECG cable. • The ECG cable must be connected correctly. (2) Connect the ECG cable to the system before attaching the pick-up of the ECG to the patient. If the connector of the ECG cable comes into contact with live parts, the patient may receive an electric shock. (3) Do not place the ECG electrodes in direct contact with the patient's heart. Cardiac arrest may occur. * The ECG electrodes are of the BF type and are not designed to be placed in direct contact with the heart. (4) To reduce the risk of electric shock or burns, use only the cable and patient leads supplied with the reference signal unit (UJUR-580A). (5) The ECG electrodes used should be commercially available products provided by the customer. 12. Before using equipment such as an electric scalpel, highfrequency therapy equipment, a defibrillator, etc., remove the ECG electrodes from the patient. In addition, do not allow ultrasound transducers or PCG microphones to come into contact with the patient. The patient may be burned or receive an electric shock. 13. The needle mark displayed on the ultrasound image does not indicate the actual position of the biopsy needle. It should only be used as a reference. 14. Confirm that the selected needle mark angle matches the angle indicated on the biopsy adapter to be used. 15. The use of transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers and cables sold by Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation as replacement parts, may result in increased emissions or reduced system performance.
