ZS3 Service Manual Page 14 of 238
• The ultrasound systems represent a potential explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
• The system does not contain a user-serviceable lithium ion battery.
• The optional ZPAK cart battery is not a user serviceable item. Contact ZONARE’s Technical
Support group for assistance with the ZPAK battery.
• Follow guidelines provided by IEC 60601 when connecting peripherals.
• The USB Memory Sticks supplied by Mindray are the recommended brand, type, and sizes for use
in ZS3 Systems. They have been verified for optimum reliability and performance
• No modification of the system is permitted. Modifying the system may subject the operator or
patient to hazardous conditions.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not connect the ZS3 input or output connections to
equipment that is not properly connected to an Earth ground.
• The ZS3 ultrasound system represents a potential explosion hazard if used in the presence of
flammable gases or oxygen rich environment.
• Use only transducers that are specifically approved for the ultrasound system. If the proper
identification of a connected transducer is not displayed on screen, do not proceed with its use.
• Transducers covers may be contaminated and must be handled accordingly.
• Inspect the transducer and ZS3 System before each use. Inspect the transducer face, housing, cable,
connectors, and cases. Do not use the unit if damage is detected.
• Bent, broken, or missing pins on the transducer connector may cause poor image quality, including
possible mirror image artifact. Be sure to check pins before connecting transducer to the ZONARE
ultrasound system. If pins are bent, broken, or missing, do not use the transducer and call ZONARE
Technical Support.
• To avoid electrical shock, always unplug the ultrasound system AC power cord from wall outlet
before cleaning any part. Do not immerse the transducer past the specified cleaning/disinfection
level, as specified in Transducer Cleaning and Disinfection. Do not immerse the transducer for
longer than the specified cleaning/disinfecting time. Do not use any transducer that has been
immersed beyond the maximum limit or has been soaked longer than the maximum specified time.
• Do not allow disinfectant to contact metal surfaces. Always use protective eyewear and clothing
when cleaning or disinfecting device
• Disinfectant wipes and topical spray products are not FDA cleared high-level disinfectants and do
not provide adequate protection should the transducer become cross-contaminated.
• The transducer must be removed from patient contact before application of a high-voltage
defibrillation.
• The system is not intended for use in conjunction with high frequency (HF) surgical equipment
(tissue ablation devices). Do not use transducers connected to the ultrasound system on patients
while HF surgical devices are in use.
• If using IEC 60601 compliant equipment, that was not provided by Mindray, it is required that total
leakage currents be tested and validated to be below the IEC 60601 limits.
• This equipment must only be connected to a supply main with protective earth.
• Validate that measured and calculated results shown in Calc Package reports reflect the clinical
observations.
• Auto-Dop Trace is intended to serve as an adjunct to the diagnostic process in evaluating blood flow
during PW Doppler examinations. When using the Auto-Dop Trace feature, please evaluate the
results to verify that you are in agreement before committing the values to the Calc Report Package.
