UICK EFERENCE UIDE
WARNING:
Th e system must be properly grounded to prevent shock hazards.
Protection is provided by grounding the chassis with a three wire cable and plug; the system must also be powered
through a properly grounded receptacle.
Electrical shock hazard. Do not remove the system cover.
Refer servicing and internal adjustments to qualifi ed personnel only.
Do not replace the system fuses with types diff erent from the ones specifi ed by the manufacturer.
Th e equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a fl ammable anaesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or
nitrous oxide. Do not use the system in the presence of fl ammable anaesthetics. Explosion is a hazard under such
conditions.
Th e system is not watertight and provides a class IP(X) 0 degree of protection to liquids; do not expose the system
to rain or moisture. Avoid placing liquid containers on the system.
Remove probes and electrocardiography leads from patient contact before applying a high voltage defi brillation
pulse.
Like any other ultrasound equipment, the MyLab40 uses high frequency signals, which could interfere with
IPG's (Implantable Pulse Generators) like pacemakers. You should be aware of this small potential hazard and
immediately turn off the unit if interference in the pacemaker operation is noted or suspected.
For US customers:
CAUTION: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
If you drop or strike a probe, do not use it until a measure of the electrical leakage current has demonstrated that
the electrical safety has not been compromised.
Do not immerse the entire transducer in liquids to clean it. Th e transducer is not watertight and immersion may
compromise the electrical safety features of the probe.
Th e cart available with the system provides insulated plugs and connectors to manage optional hard copy devices
(VTR, printers). Follow the instructions in the Operator's Manual to install such a device. Incorrect connections
may compromise the electrical safety of the system.
If your unit is NOT equipped with the cart, and you plan to utilize hardcopy devices, read and carefully follow the
instructions in the Manual to install such devices. Wrong connections or the use of peripherals with improper
safety characteristics may compromise the electrical safety of the system.
CAUTIONS:
To prevent further damage to your system and the accessories, power off the unit if it does not start up correctly.
Never expose the probes to gas, heat or liquid sterilization procedures. Th ese methods can permanently damage
the probe.
Carefully follow the Operator's Manual instructions to clean or disinfect a probe.
