2.3 Easi-Scan Micro-Convex probe
While every attempt has been made to make the probe as rugged as possible the crystal array remains
vulnerable and should be protected from knocks. Even a small knock against a hard object can cause
damage to the probe elements situated behind the thin rubber coating on the probe face. The probe
has a protective sheath covering the length of cable subject to greatest wear and flexing. Any damage
to this sheath or the rest of the cable should be repaired before further use to prevent moisture
ingress that will rapidly damage the probe. The probe should be checked regularly for such damage.
Gels
Use only gels recommended by BCF TechnologyLtd. Do not store the probe in gel.
Cleaning
The probe may be cleaned by removing all organic/protein residue and disinfecting using an IPA or
10% bleach wipe. Do not soak transducer in IPA or bleach.
Storage
Clean and dry the probe head prior to storage in dry location. Do not store the transducer in gels
or cleaning/disinfecting solutions. This will lead to premature deterioration of transducer materials.
Warning: Never sterilize the transducer with autoclave, ultraviolet, gamma radiation, gas, steam or
heat sterilization techniques. Severe damage will result.
Do not expose the transducer to materials containing the following agents:
• Acetone
• Methanol
• Mineral oil
• Iodine
• Freon
• Industrial cleaners
• Materials containing perfumes (lotions, gels, etc.)
Transducers must not be soaked in alcohol, bleach, or hydrogen peroxide.
