other products or components not made by Clarius, unless Clarius expressly recognizes those
other products or components as compatible.
Changes and additions to the system can be made only by Clarius or by third parties expressly
authorized by Clarius to do so. Such changes and additions must comply with all applicable
laws and regulations that have the force of law within the jurisdictions concerned, and best
engineering practices. System changes and additions that are made without the appropriate
training or by using unapproved spare components may carry risks of system damage and
personal injury.
Battery Safety
• If the scanner fails to fully charge, replace it.
• Keep the scanner away from heat sources. For example, do not charge the scanner near a
fire or heater.
• Do not discard the scanner in fire.
• Do not open, crush, or puncture scanner.
• If the scanner leaks or emits an odor, contact Clarius Technical Support.
• If the scanner emits an odor or heat, is deformed or discolored, or in any way appears
abnormal during use, recharging, or storage, stop using it immediately. If you have any
questions about the scanner, go to clarius.com/contact and contact Clarius.
• If the scanner is to remain unused for over a month, keep the charge level between 40%
and 50% to prolong its life, and store it in temperatures between -20°C (-4°F) and 20°C
(68°F).
The following actions may damage the battery:
• Returning a scanner without instructions from Clarius Technical Support.
• Using the scanner in temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F).
• Charging the scanner using non-Clarius equipment. Always charge the scanner using the
charger provided by Clarius.
Cleaning Safety
It is important to clean and maintain the ultrasound system and peripherals. Thorough
cleaning is particularly important for pieces of peripheral equipment because they contain
electromechanical components. If exposed to constant and excessive sunlight and humidity,
the scanner will suffer in both performance and reliability.
It is your responsibility to clean and disinfect your scanner in accordance with the cleaning and
disinfecting instructions in this manual. For instructions on cleaning and disinfecting the
Clarius Scanner HD3, refer to Cleaning on page 34.
