WARNING/CAUTIONS
& SAFETY
Do not use Dopplers in the presence of
flammable gases such as anaesthetic agents.
Do not use in the sterile field unless additional
barrier precautions are taken.
Do Not :
• Immerse in any liquid,
• use solvent cleaner,
• use high temperature sterilising
processes (such as autoclaving),
• use E-beam or gamma radiation
sterilisation.
Do not use in the eye.
Do not use vascular probes to detect the fetal
heart.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock,
this equipment must only be connected to supply
mains with protective earth.
Avoid positioning the equipment such that access
to the IEC power connector becomes difficult.
Any equipment connected to the serial port
should comply with
EN60065, EN60335 or EN61010.
Dopplex Dopplers are screening tools to aid the
healthcare professional and should not be used in
place of normal vascular or fetal monitoring. If
there is doubt as to vascularity or fetal well-being
after using the unit, further investigations should
be undertaken immediately using alternative
techniques.
We recommend that exposure to ultrasound
should be kept As Low As Reasonably Achievable
- (ALARA guidelines). This is considered to be
good practice and should be observed at all
times.
EN60601-1, EN60950,
