Warning: Warning: Warning:
Warning:
Warning: Warning: Warning:

This product should only be operated by qualified medical personnel.
Do not remove outer protective covers from the Site~Rite* 5 scanner. Hazardous voltages exist at several points within the system.
Do not operate the Site~Rite* 5 Ultrasound System or the Site~Rite A/C adapter and battery charger in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases. Explosion may result.
Do not use for ophthalmic indications. Ophthalmic use may cause patient injury.
Misuse of the Site~Rite* 5 System may result in damage to the equipment or personal injury.
Use only the combination Site~Rite A/C adapter and battery charger to charge Site~Rite* 5. Use of any other device to charge Site~Rite* 5 battery packs may damage the battery packs and will void your warranty.
Only connect a Site~Rite* 5 combination A/C adapter and battery charger to the Site~Rite* 5 System. Use of any other A/C adapter may cause intermittent or unpredictable operation, may damage the system and will void your warranty.
If a probe is damaged in any way, discontinue use immediately. Damage to the scanner may occur.
Avoid subjecting the probe to excessive mechanical shock. Damage to the probe may occur.
Use only Bard Access Systems probes with this system. Use of unapproved probes may result in patient injury or equipment damage.

Warning: When using Site~Rite Needle Guides on the Site~Rite probe, use only sterile plastic probe covers that are 1 mil (0.001 inch or 0.0254 mm) thick.

Warning: Do not allow liquid to enter the scanner, combination A/C adapter and battery charger, probe connector or probe port. Damage to equipment may occur.

 Site~Rite* 5 Ultrasound System
Warnings (continued)
Warning: Do not attempt to sterilize the Site~Rite* 5 scanner or probes with ethylene oxide or heat sterilization methods. Damage to the equipment may occur.
Warning: Always properly dispose of dead battery packs in accordance with local regulations. Improper disposal may present an enviromental hazard.
Warning: Only qualified personnel should attempt to service this equipment. The Site~Rite* 5 contains static sensitive components and circuits. Failure to observe proper static control procedures may result in damage to the system.
Warning: The following actions void the warranty of the Site~Rite* 5 System. · Opening or servicing the scanner or the probe housing. · Removal of system labels by anyone other than by Bard Access Systems authorized service personnel. · Opening or servicing the battery pack or the combination A/C adapter and battery charger by anyone other than Bard Access Systems authorized service personnel. · Connecting the Site~Rite* 5 scanner to any power source other than the Site~Rite* 5 combination A/C adapter and battery pack. · Connecting the Site~Rite* 5 scanner to any A/C adapter other than the one provided with the scanner. · Connecting the Site~Rite* 5 to any unauthorized accessory.
Warning: Inspect A/C adapter and battery cord for damage. If any of the prongs are damaged, use battery power until replacement cord is obtained.
Warning: Verify that all accessories attached to the system comply to 60601 safety standards. Non-compliance may result in increased patient risk.
Warning: Use only IEC or ISO approved safety devices outside the patient environment. Failure to do so may damage the equipment.
Warning: Equipment that relies on basic insulation only shall not be used with this system. Failure to comply could result in increased patient risk.
Warning: Maximum shelf load on the VAD bedside roll stand is 22 lbs. Exceeding this weight may damage the roll stand.

Technical Manual



Warnings (continued)

Warning: Do not overtighten screws when attaching to the VESA roll stand mount. Doing so may damage the scanner.
Warning: Use only screws provided in packaging. Ensure the unit is secure against the VESA roll stand mount. Failure to do so may cause the scanner to disconnect from the VESA roll stand mount.
Warning: Do not use the probe with high frequency surgical equipment. Doing so may damage the equipment.
Warning: Do not pull on probe cable. Doing so may cause the system to tip.

Precautions

Caution:
Caution: Caution: Caution: Caution: Caution:

The adverse biological effects of ultrasound on tissue appear to be threshold effects. When tissue is repeatedly exposed to ultrasound, with intervals in between, there will likely be no cumulative biological effect. If, however, a certain threshold has been passed biological effects may occur. While the Site~Rite* 5 acoustic output parameters fall well below all FDA thresholds for adverse biological effects, any given Ultrasound Procedure should be performed using the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). The licensed medical practitioner should limit the time of patient exposure to ultrasonic radiation using the principle of ALARA.
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Do not pull the cable to disconnect the probe connector from the scanner. Pulling the cable may damage the cable, cable connection or scanner.
Do not twist or bend the probe cable in excess of that required during normal use of the probe. Excessive twisting or bending of the cable may cause failure, intermittent or unpredictable operation.
When disinfecting the probe with a liquid disinfectant, do not soak the probe cable, cable bend relief, probe connector or probe buttons. Doing so may damage the probe.
Only apply commercially available ultrasonic couplant, which has been specifically formulated for use in medical applications, to the acoustic window (or face) of the probe.

10 Site~Rite* 5 Ultrasound System

Precautions (continued)
Caution: Use water or rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove couplant from the acoustic
window (or face) of the probe. Failure to do so may scratch the acoustic window.

Caution:

Do not to allow ultrasonic couplant to dry on the acoustic window (or face) of the probe. If the couplant should dry, use water or rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth to remove it. Never use a tool of any kind to remove dry couplant from the acoustic window (or face) of the probe.

Caution:

Some commercially available probe covers contain latex. Natural rubber latex may cause allergic reactions. Refer to the US FDA alert titled: "Medical Alert: Allergic Reactions to Latex-Containing Medical Devices", issued March 29, 1991. Bard Access Systems distributes sterile probe covers and needle guide kits that do not contain latex.

Caution: Do not force the probe connector. Damage to the connector and system could result.

Caution: Caution: Caution:
Caution: Caution: Caution: Caution: Caution:

Always snap the needle guides on to the probe hook. Do not slide the needle guide on to the needle guide hook, as the sterile sheath may tear.
Do not subject the probe to excessive vibration. Vibration may dislodge sensitive components and cause intermittent or unpredictable operation.
Prior to each use please inspect the integrity of all power cords and connectors as well as the integrity of the unit itself. If any problems are found please discontinue use immediately and contact an authorized service representative. Use of a damaged power cord could damage the machine.
Unapproved extension cords should not be used with this system. Doing so may damage the system.
During use, the AC connector needs to be easily accessible. In case of emergency remove the power cord as soon as possible.
To avoid unnecessary strain on the user, use the device in a comfortable manner.
Attach power source in such a way as to prevent damage. Improper installation may damage power cords.
Inspect the probe prior to each use. If damage to the cable or transducer face is noted, do not use the probe. Damage to the system may occur.

Precautions (continued)
Caution: Hot water (in excess of 113o F or 45o C) may damage the probe. Caution: Use only Bard Access Systems cleaning and disinfection procedures. Failure to do so
may damage the device.
Notes

Note: Note:

When cleaning the system and components, it is important to remove all particles or other matter from all surfaces and crevices.
For 240 V applications use only center tapped 240 VAC single phase power.

NOTE: The Scanner Assembly is NOT field serviceable. If a problem is found with the Scanner Assembly please contact Bard Access Systems at (800) 443-3385.
3.3 Transducer Assembly
The Transducer Assembly converts electrical signals to acoustic pulses that are transmitted into the body. The pulses reflect off the target and return to the transducer, which converts the acoustic data back into electrical data. The electrical data is then transmitted to the scanner assembly where an ultrasonic image is generated from multiple pulse echo frames.
NOTE: The transducer assembly is NOT field-serviceable. If a problem is found with the transducer please contact Bard Access Systems at (800) 443-3385.
