Safety 4-4 LOGIQ E9 User Guide Direction 5180302-100 Rev. 1 Important Safety Considerations The following topic headings (Patient Safety, and Equipment and Personnel Safety) are intended to make the equipment user aware of particular hazards associated with the use of this equipment and the extent to which injury can occur if precautions are not observed. Additional precautions may be provided throughout the manual. The equipment user is obligated to be familiar with these concerns and avoid conditions that could result in injury. CAUTIONImproper use can result in serious injury. The user must be thoroughly familiar with the instructions and potential hazards involving ultrasound examination before attempting to use the device. Training assistance is available from GE Medical Systems if needed.
Safety Precautions LOGIQ E9 User Guide 4-5 Direction 5180302-100 Rev. 1 Patient Safety Related Hazards Patient identificationAlways include proper identification with all patient data and verify the accuracy of the patients name and ID numbers when entering such data. Make sure correct patient ID is provided on all recorded data and hard copy prints. Identification errors could result in an incorrect diagnosis. Diagnostic informationEquipment malfunction or incorrect settings can result in measurement errors or failure to detect details within the image. The equipment user must become thoroughly familiar with the equipment operation in order to optimize its performance and recognize possible malfunctions. Applications training is available through the local GE representative. Added confidence in the equipment operation can be gained by establishing a quality assurance program. WARNINGThe concerns listed can seriously affect the safety of patients undergoing a diagnostic ultrasound examination.
Safety 4-6 LOGIQ E9 User Guide Direction 5180302-100 Rev. 1 Related Hazards (continued) Mechanical hazardsThe use of damaged probes or improper use and manipulation of intracavity probes can result in injury or increased risk of infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective barriers. Never use excessive force when manipulating intracavity probes. Become familiar with all instructions and precautions provided with special purpose probes. The use of damaged probes can result in injury or increased risk of infection. Inspect probes often for sharp, pointed, or rough surface damage that could cause injury or tear protective barriers. Become familiar with all instructions and precautions provided with special purpose probes. Electrical HazardA damaged probe can also increase the risk of electric shock if conductive solutions come in contact with internal live parts. Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in the housing and holes in and around the acoustic lens or other damage that could allow liquid entry. Become familiar with the probes use and care precautions outlined in Probes and Biopsy. CAUTIONUltrasound transducers are sensitive instruments which can easily be damaged by rough handling. Take extra care not to drop transducers and avoid contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces. A damaged housing, lens or cable can result in patient injury or serious impairment or operation.
Safety Precautions LOGIQ E9 User Guide 4-7 Direction 5180302-100 Rev. 1 Related Hazards (continued) TrainingIt is recommended that all users receive proper training in applications before performing them in a clinical setting. Please contact the local GE representative for training assistance. ALARA training is provided by GE Application Specialists. The ALARA education program for the clinical end-user covers basic ultrasound principles, possible biological effects, the derivation and meaning of the indices, ALARA principles, and examples of specific applications of the ALARA principle. CAUTIONUltrasound can produce harmful effects in tissue and potentially result in patient injury. Always minimize exposure time and keep ultrasound levels low when there is no medical benefit. Use the principle of ALARA (A s Low As Reasonably A chievable), increasing output only when needed to obtain diagnostic image quality. Observe the acoustic output display and be familiar with all controls affecting the output level. See the Bioeffects section of the Acoustic Output chapter in the Advanced Reference Manual for more information. CAUTIONDo not use with Defibrillator. This equipment does not have a defibrillator approved applied part.
