Chapter 3 Getting Started

3.1 Installation for Main unit 1) Acclimation Time After being transported, the unit requires one hour for each 2.5 ºincrement if its temperature is below 10 ºC or above 40 ºC. NOTE: Please keep at least 20 to 30 cm spare space away from the back of the system to ensure well ventilation. Otherwise, with the increasing of the temperature inside the unit, malfunction may occur.

2) Connecting and Using the System To connect the system to the electrical supply:  Check the power voltage input labeling at rear panel of the system.  Ensure that the wall outlet is of the appropriate type and well grounded.  Ensure that the system powers off.  Unwrap the power cable, and allow sufficient slack in the cable so that the plug will not be pulled out of the wall outlet if the system is moved slightly.  Attach the power plug to the system and secure it in place by using the retaining clamp.  Push the power plug securely into the wall outlet. CAUTION  Use caution to ensure that the power cable does not disconnect during system use.  If the system is accidently unplugged, data may be lost. WARNING  To avoid risk of fire, the system power must be supplied from a separate, properly rated outlet.  Under no circumstances should the AC power plug be altered, changed, or adapted to a configuration rated less than specified. Never use an extension cord or adapter plug.  To help assure grounding reliability, connect to a “hospital grade” or “hospital only” grounded power outlet.

5) Probes CAUTION Only use the probes approved by Manufacturer. Selecting probes  Always start out with a probe that provides optimum focal depths and penetration for the patient size and exam.  Begin the scanning session by choosing the correct application and preset for the examination by selecting the exam icon.  Begin an exam using the default Power Output setting for the probe and exam. Connecting the Probe When you connect the probes, please ensure that the probe ports are not active. Place the system in EXAM screen by pressing to deactivate the probe ports. To connect a probe:  Place the probe’s carrying case on a stable surface and open the case.  Carefully remove the probe and unwrap the probe cord.  DO NOT allow the probe head to hang free. Impact to the probe head could result in irreparable damage. Use the probe cable hanger to wrap the cord. CAUTION Inspect the probe before and after each use for damage or degradation to the housing, strain relief, lens, seal and connector. DO NOT use a probe that appears damaged until its functional and safe performance is verified. A thorough inspection should be performed during the cleaning process.    

Align the connector with the probe port and carefully push into place with the cable facing the front of the system. Turn the probe connector locking lever to “lock” status. Carefully position the probe cord so it is free to move and is not resting on the floor. When the probe is connected, it will be automatically initialized.

CAUTION 



Fault conditions can result in electric shock hazard. DO NOT touch the surface of probe connector that is exposed when the probe is removed. DO NOT touch the patient when connecting or disconnecting a probe. Take precautions with probe cables DO NOT bend the cable acutely.

Deactivating the Probe When deactivating the probe, the probe is automatically placed in a standby mode. To deactivate a probe:  Ensure the system is in EXAM screen. If necessary, press the key to return to Probe Selection screen.  Gently wipe the excess gel from the probe surface.  Carefully slide the probe toward the probe holder, and place the probe gently in the probe holder. Disconnecting the Probe Probes can be disconnected when the system is in Probe Selection screen. To disconnect a probe:  Turn the connector locking lever to a “Unlock” position.  Pull the probe and connector straight out of the probe port.  Carefully slide the probe and connector away from the probe port.  Ensure that the probe head is clean before placing the probe in its storage box. Transporting the Probe When transporting a probe a long distance, store it in its original carrying case. Storing the Probe It is recommended that all probes should be stored in the original carrying case.  Place the probe connector into the carrying case.  Carefully wind the cable into the carrying case.  Carefully place the probe head into the carrying case. DO NOT use excessive force or impact on the probe head.
