6. Transducers can be submerged up to, but not including, the strain relief of the transducer array.
Do not immerse or soak any other part of a transducer in any cleaning material. The following
figure defines how much of the transducer can be submerged.
7. Wipe with a dry cloth if necessary. To dry the lens, use a soft cloth and a blotting motion instead
of a wiping motion.
8. Examine the device and cable for damage such as cracks, splitting, sharp edges, or projections.
If damage is evident, discontinue use of the device and contact your BenQ Medical Technology
representative.
The cable and connector are not waterproof. Do not immerse the cable or allow liquid to contact the
connector.
9.7 Ultrasound Transmission Gels
For proper transmission of the acoustic beam, use the ultrasound transmission gel supplied by or
recommended by BenQ Medical Technology, or another glycol-, glycerol-, or water-based acoustic
coupling medium.
WARNING
For intraoperative applications, use only the Sterile Aquasonic or Sterile Ultraphonic gel
provided with the transducer cover.
CAUTION
Do not use hand sanitizing gels.
Do not use lotion-based products or gels that contain mineral oil. Such products damage the
transducer and void the warranty.
Do not apply the transducer gel until you are ready to perform the procedure. Transducers
should not be left soaking in gel.
Gels listed here are recommended because of their chemical compatibility with product
materials.
Do Not Submerge Transducers Above Line (Example transducer C62B)
