2-10
The Voluson® S6/S8 weighs 90 kg or more, depending on installed peripherals, (200 lbs., or
more) when ready for use. Care must be used when moving it or replacing its parts. Failure to
follow the precautions listed could result in injury, uncontrolled motion and costly damage.
ALWAYS:
•
Use the handle to move the system.
•
Be sure the pathway is clear.
•
Use slow, careful motions.
•
Do not let the system strike walls or door frames.
•
Two people are required when moving on inclines or lifting more than 16 kg (35 lbs).
Always place the system on horizontal ground and block the front wheels. The device might
tipp over or roll away. 'Caster Brakes'
Lower the console to its minimal height when moving or transporting the system.
Handle carefully. A drop of more than 5 cm can cause mechanical damages.
The monitor has to be secured with the monitor-transportlock when moving or transporting the
system. 'Mechanical Adjustment'
Process cautiously when crossing door or elevator thresholds. Use the handle to push/pull the
system, e.g., do not use the LCD. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or system
damage.
There is a pinch point on the LCD monitor. Take care to avoid injuring hands or fingers when
flipping down the LCD monitor.
The ECG module is an option of the ultrasound scanner system used to obtain an ECG signal
to mark the systolic and end diastolic moments in M mode and Doppler evaluations.
