Contraindications
For Use Outside USA
Do not use the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound in the following situations. Doing so may
produce images with inaccurate results:
• Patients who have had surgery, which may have changed the c
examining tissue (for example, a mastectomy), as this could skew or alter the measured
density.
• Patients whose bodies contain foreign artifacts (for example, implants), in the examining
tissue.
• Ophthalmic use or any use causing the acoustic beam to pass through the eye.
• Intra-operative use (defined as introducing a scanner into a surgical incision or burr hole).
• Endocavitary use (defined as introducing a scanner within a body cavity or organ, for
example, an atrium, esophagus, rectum, or vagina).
For Use in Surgical Environments
Before you use the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound for intra-operative procedures or in a
surgical environment, follow the instructions for high-level disinfection (for instructions see
High-Level Disinfection
on page 85), then cover the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound with a
sheath:
• Use only CIVCO REF 610-1212.
• Do
wnload the usage instructions from http://civco.com/mmi/ultrasound/covers/generalpurpose/Latex-Free-Wireless-Ultrasound-Probe-Covers-610-1212.htm and read all the
information before use.
omposition of the
When you have finished using the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound, immediately clean it (for
instructions see Cleaning the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound on page 82), followed by
another high-level disinfection.
If the sheath breaks during the intra-operative procedure, dispose
same cleaning and high-level disinfecting process as above, then cover the Viera™ Portable
Breast Ultrasound with a new sheath before continuing to use it.
For Use in Ophthalmic Procedures
Do not use the scanner for any use that may cause the acoustic beam to pass through the eye.
Doing so may result in serious and irreversible harm to the eye of the patient.

Warranty
Your Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound includes a one-year warranty. To purchase extended
warranty, contact your Hologic representative.
Disposal
Hologic is an active participant in the protection of the natural environment. The equipment
and its accessories are designed and manufactured according to environmental protection
guidelines, and the disposal of this equipment is intended to follow the same principles. The
equipment materials that are essential for functionality are also harmful to the natural
environment, therefore, you must dispose these materials appropriately.
For proper disposal of the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound or any of its accessories, dispose
it in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Alternatively, you can return it to
Hologic.
The improper disposal of the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound (when the battery is no
longer working or the scanner has exceeded its shelf life), or any of its accessories, adds
hazardous materials to our landfills.
Security
Information Security
When entering data using the Clarius App, it is your responsibility to protect your security
credentials (e.g. passwords) and the personal information of patients (e.g. names).
Network Security
When connecting your smart device, use a network that supports Wi-Fi 802.11n. We
recommend that you secure this network using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 (Wi-Fi
Protected Access II) as your security protocol.
For information on setting up your wireless network security, refer to your network
equipment’s documentation.
User Manual version 4.2.017
Viera™ Portable Breast UltrasoundSecurity
You may run into situations where no wireless access point is available. Using an untrusted
wireless access point may allow malicious parties to see your Wi-Fi signals, perform harmful
actions, and view communications between the two smart devices. When no secure access
point is available, operate the Clarius App in Wi-Fi Direct mode, and it will automatically set up
encryption.
For security purposes:
• Use secure passwords.
• Use secure wireless equipment using the latest firmware and software, and secure
protocols.
• Lock your smart devices.
The following actions could introduce new risks to patients, operators, and third parties. It is
your organization's responsibility to identify, analyze, evaluate, and control these risks:
• Changing network configurations.
• Connecting to additional networks or disconnecting from existing networks.
• Upgrading to new equipment or updating existing equipment.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality of information is assured as follows:
• The scanner contains no patient-identifying information.
• When the scanner connects to a wireless network, it encrypts and stores the Wi-Fi
password.
• The data transferred between the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound and the Clarius App
is encrypted.
• Image data contains no patient- or user-identifying information, and is transmitted in
unencrypted form. If you want this data encrypted, connect to a:
• Wi-Fi network where only trusted parties are permitted. The Wi-Fi network
• Wi-Fi Direct network. The Wi-Fi Direct network encrypts all image data, and
encrypts all image data sent from other Wi-Fi networks.
because no other users are on the Wi-Fi Direct network, the image data is
confidential.
• If no images are exported to Clarius Cloud or DICOM, the Clarius App stores them in the
Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound indefinitely. If images are exported, these images will
be deleted from the device 10 days after export (you can change the default number of
days to 30, 60, 90, or never).
User Manual version 4.2.018
Viera™ Portable Breast UltrasoundSystem Requirements
Integrity
Integrity of the data transmitted between the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound and the
Clarius App is assured as follows:
• Authenticated encryption prevents malicious users from intercepting and modifying data.
• Integrity checks ensure completion and validity of data received. If any data is incomplete
or invalid, it is discarded.
• TCP channels used over Wi-Fi ensures that data is delivered correctly. For transmitting
image data, a UDP channel is used.
Availability
If Wi-Fi connection is unattainable (e.g. Wi-Fi access points are unavailable or the network is
down), use Wi-Fi Direct network, which is managed by the smart device. Because Wi-Fi Direct
network is a peer-to-peer connection using the Wi-Fi protocol, it disallows other users from
connecting, thereby reducing DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.
If the Wi-Fi Direct network is disrupted, the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound continues to
monitor itself, and shuts down after a period of inactivity. This reduces acoustic energy
transmission and battery usage.
Accountability
The concept of accountability does not apply to the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound.
However, ownership (i.e. the active user) of a smart device is assigned to one user at a time.
Once you begin using the smart device, no other user can connect to the same smart device.
All data transmitted between the smart device and the Clarius App is owned by the active
user.
System Requirements
Using the Viera™ Portable Breast Ultrasound on a smart device that does not meet the
minimum requirements may result in low-quality images, unexpected results, and possible
misdiagnoses.
To run the Clarius App, a smart device must meet or exceed the following minimum
specifications:
