2.1 Overview

Chapter 2 contains important information for servicing MySono U6 safely.

It is relevant to the ultrasound system, the probes, the recording devices, and any of the
optional equipment.

MySono U6 is intended for use by, or by the order of, and under the supervision of, a licensed
physician who is qualied for direct use of the medical device.

This equipment should not be used by any healthcare professional or individual who is not
properly qualied to operate it. Prolonged use of three-dimensional ultrasound (3D, 4D) by
an unqualied individual, such as to produce a commemorative photograph or video of the
fetus, may have an adverse eect on the fetus.

Be sure to use the three-dimensional ultrasound diagnostic imaging system only for its
intended purposes, since using it for purposes other than diagnosing the fetus may have an
adverse eect on the fetus.
