Manual Usage and Update Information
The Table of Contents and List of Effective Pages have been combined for this manual. There is no List of Illustrations or List of Tables.
This will facilitate frequent updating of the manual and allow CSRs to
easily determine the effective date of referenced information.
The contents of a manual change package should be inserted as
indicated on the cover sheet attached to the package. Changed or
added pages can be identified by the change date at the bottom of
the affected page. No change date indicates the page is an original
HDI--iii
page. Change bars located in the outside margin of the page denote
the specific part of a page that was changed at that date. A pointing
hand indicates the portion of the figure that has been changed.
Page numbers are divided into three parts. The prefix identifies the
system covered by the manual. The middle portion identifies the section of the manual. The suffix indicates the actual page number.
Safety and Precautions
This section provides biological, procedural, environmental, electrical
and mechanical safety information.

HDI--iv
Biological Safety
The assessment of the biological effects of diagnostic ultrasound on
humans is not complete. Diagnostic ultrasound procedures should be
used only for valid reasons, for the shortest period of time, and at the
lowest power settings necessary to produce diagnostically acceptable images.
Procedural Safety
W ARNING
Do not service or adjust a system unless another
person capable of rendering first aid is present.
CAUTION
Do not sterilize scanheads with heat, liquid, gas, or
solvents. Do not autoclave or expose to temperatures exceeding 50_C(131_F). Permanent damage
may result.
HDI--v
W ARNING
Disconnect power source and scanheads prior to
cleaning.
W ARNING
Inspect the transducer face, housing, and cable
before using the instrument. Do not use damaged
transducers.
W ARNING
Equipment grounding: This equipment is classified
Class I, Type B as defined in IEC Standard 601-1
Safety of Medical Electrical Equipment. Electrical
shock protection is provided by connecting the
instrument chassis to safety ground using the
3-wire power cable provided. This cable must be
connected to a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not defeat the grounding integrity of the equipment.
HDI--vi
W ARNING
Shock hazards exist if the system is not properly
grounded. The system must be plugged into a hospital-grade outlet.
W ARNING
Do not replace components with power connected.
Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may
exist with power removed. Disconnect power and
discharge circuits before touching.
W ARNING
Fuse replacement is to be done by qualified service
personnel only. Avoid electric shock and fire hazard
by using proper fuses.
CAUTION
Verify the system is set to proper power source
voltage and the cart power plug mates with the
power receptacle.
HDI--vii
W ARNING
Additional hazards may be introduced by using
substituted parts or modified instruments.
W ARNING
Using accessories not recommended by ATL may
cause electrical shock or other unsafe conditions.
CAUTION
Verify circuit boards and components are dry
before applying system power.
CAUTION
This equipment contains components which are
electro-static sensitive. Proper static procedures,
protection and equipment must be used prior to
opening and during handling of this equipment.
Failure to use ESD procedures will cause damage
to these components. Such damage to components
is not covered by ATL warranties.
HDI--viii
Environmental Safety
Do not operate a system in the presence of flammable gases or anesthetics or in an oxygen
enriched environment (i.e., in an explosive atmosphere). An explosion could result.
Mechanical Safety
Use caution when transporting the system over
uneven surfaces, including entry to or exit from elevators.
Stacking equipment on the system, other than ATL
specified equipment, can cause it to become
mechanically unstable.
W ARNING
CAUTION
W ARNING
HDI--ix
Do not use esters or ketone solutions to clean
parts. Discoloration (or worse) will result.
System Safety Symbology

CAUTION
I and O on circuit breaker and power switch represents ON and OFF,
respectively.
