WARNINGS
• The only parts of the transducer that may be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol are the
transducer housing and lens or acoustic window. Ensure that the solution is only 70%
alcohol or less. Do not wipe any other part of a transducer with isopropyl alcohol
(including cables, connectors, or strain reliefs), as it can damage those parts of the
transducer. This damage is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not use any ammonia based disinfectants. If used it can cause damage to the plastics
or to the system.
9.9 System Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed regularly and as needed.
9.9.1 Inspecting the System
Inspect the system’s touch glass, outer cover, port cover, probe cover and the stand before each
use. Check the system carefully and see if there are cracks, cuts, or any other damages which may
admit fluids.
If the system is dropped, examine it immediately for signs of damage. Perform a sample scan to
make sure it operates correctly. Contact BenQ Medical Technology for service or replacement if any
abnormalities are found.
9.9.2 Cleaning the System
The system and peripherals are medical electrical equipment and require thorough cleaning. If
exposed to constant and excessive environmental dust and humidity, both performance and
reliability of these devices will suffer. Clean the power adapter, ventilation slots, all connection ports/
sockets and the touch screen regularly or whenever you observe dust or other particles.
