Related Hazards (continued)
CAUTIONThis equipment provides no special means of protection from 
high frequency (HF) burns that may result from using an 
electrosurgical unit (ESU).  To reduce the risk of HF burns, 
avoid contact between the patient and ultrasound transducer 
while operating the ESU.  Where contact cannot be avoided, as 
in the case of TEE monitoring during surgery, make sure the 
transducer is not located between the ESU active and 
dispersive electrodes and keep the ESU cables away from the 
transducer cable.
Electrical
HazardTo avoid injury:
•  Do not remove protective covers. No user serviceable 
parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service 
personnel.
•  To assure adequate grounding, connect the attachment 
plug to a reliable (hospital grade) grounding outlet (having 
equalization conductor   ).
•  Never use any adaptor or converter of a three-prong-to-
two-prong type to connect with a mains power plug. The 
protective earth connection will loosen.
•  Do not place liquids on or above the console. Spilled liquid 
may contact live parts and increase the risk of shock.
•  In North America a 220V installation requires the use of a 
center-tapped AC source. 
CAUTIONDo not use this equipment if a safety problem is known to exist. 
Have the unit repaired and performance verified by qualified 
service personnel before returning to use.
Smoke &
Fire HazardThe system must be supplied from an adequately rated 
electrical circuit. The capacity of the supply circuit must be as 
specified.

Related Hazards (continued)
Biological
HazardFor patient and personnel safety, be aware of biological 
hazards while performing invasive procedures. To avoid the 
risk of disease transmission:
•  Use protective barriers (gloves and probe sheaths) 
whenever possible. Follow sterile procedures when 
appropriate.
•  Thoroughly clean probes and reusable accessories after 
each patient examination and disinfect or sterilize as 
needed. Refer to  Probes and Biopsy for probe use and 
care instructions.
•  Follow all infection control policies established by your 
office, department or institution as they apply to personnel 
and equipment.
CAUTIONContact with natural rubber latex may cause a severe 
anaphylactic reaction in persons sensitive to the natural latex 
protein. Sensitive users and patients must avoid contact with 
these items. Refer to package labeling to determine latex 
content and FDA’s March 29, 1991 Medical Alert on latex 
products.
CAUTIONAllowing the machine to transmit acoustic output with the probe 
not in use (or in its holder) can cause the transducer to build up 
heat. Always turn off lower acoustic output or freeze the image 
when not in use. The system’s acoustic output remains 
transmitting when the user controls are being used.
The system is equipped with an Auto Freeze feature which 
disables acoustic output and freezes the image when the 
machine is not in use.

Related Hazards (continued)
CAUTIONWhen you move the Control Panel up/down with the monitor, 
place BOTH hands on the Control Panel.  Touching other 
moving parts other than the Control Panel may cause personal 
injury.
CAUTIONTo avoid injury or system damage, NEVER place any object or 
liquid on the operator panel.
CAUTIONArchived data is managed at the individual sites. Performing 
data backup (to any device) is recommended.
CAUTION•  Make sure to verify the media after writing of data, such as 
EZBackup, SaveAs or Export.     
•  Before deleting a patient or image from the patient screen, 
make sure you have saved the data by EZBackup/Backup 
or Export and verify that the media transfer of data was 
successful.  
CAUTIONDo not unpack the LOGIQ E9. This must be performed by 
qualified service personnel only.

Related Hazards (LCD Monitor)
Related Hazards (Volume Navigation)
CAUTION• DO NOT place a finger, hand or any object on the joint of 
the monitor or monitor arm to avoid injury when moving the 
monitor and monitor arm.
•  To avoid result of injury or system damage, NEVER place 
any object or liquid on the monitor, whether in the home or 
flip down/transport position.
• DO NOT scratch or press on the panel with any sharp 
objects, such as a pencil or pen, as this may result in 
damage to the panel.
•  To avoid injury or damage, make sure nothing is within the 
range of motion before moving the monitor and monitor 
arm. This includes both objects and people.
•  Pay attention to the monitor arm position to avoid hitting it 
against anyone or anything.
•  Before moving the system to another location, be sure to 
lock LCD/LCD arm in transport position. 
•  The LCD screen may have defective pixels. These pixels 
may appear as a slightly light or dark area on the screen. 
This is due to the characteristics of the panel itself, and not 
the product. 
•  The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When 
the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, contact a 
qualified Service Representative for information. 
WARNINGDO NOT use the Volume Navigation feature on any patient 
relying on life-sustaining electronic equipment, such as a 
pacemaker or defibrillator.

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
NOTE:  This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio 
frequency energy. The equipment may cause radio frequency 
interference to other medical and non-medical devices and radio 
communications. To provide reasonable protection against such 
interference, this product complies with emissions limits for a 
Group 1, Class A Medical Devices Directive as stated in EN 
60601-1-2. However, there is no guarantee that interference will 
not occur in a particular installation.
NOTE:  If this equipment is found to cause interference (which may be 
determined by turning the equipment on and off), the user (or 
qualified service personnel) should attempt to correct the 
problem by one or more of the following measure(s):
• reorient or relocate the affected device(s)
• increase the separation between the equipment and the 
affected device
• power the equipment from a source different from that of the 
affected device
• consult the point of purchase or service representative for 
further suggestions.
NOTE:  The manufacturer is not responsible for any interference caused 
by using other than recommended interconnect cables or by 
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. 
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users’ 
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE:  To comply with the regulations on electromagnetic interference 
for a Class A FCC Device, all interconnect cables to peripheral 
devices must be shielded and properly grounded. Use of cables 
not properly shielded and grounded may result in the equipment 
causing radio frequency interference in violation of the FCC 
regulations.
