9.2.4 Probe Safety
9.2.4.1 Handling Precautions
Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be damaged by
improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from damage when not in use. DO NOT
use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury
and equipment damage.
 Electrical shock hazard
The probe is driven with electrical energy that can injure the patient or user if live internal parts are
contacted by conductive solution:
 DO NOT immerse the probe into any liquid beyond the level indicated by the immersion level
diagram. Never immerse the probe connector into any liquid.
 Prior to each use, visually inspect the probe lens and case area for cracks, cuts, tears, and
other signs of physical damage. DO NOT use a probe that appears to be damaged until you verify
functional and safe performance. You need to perform a more thorough inspection, including the
cable, strain relief, and connector, each time you clean the probe.
 Before inserting the connector into the probe port, inspect the probe connector pins. If a pin is
bent, DO NOT use the probe until it has been inspected and repaired/replaced by a CHISON
Service Representative.
 Electrical leakage checks should be performed on a routine basis by CHISON Service or
qualified hospital personnel.
 Mechanical hazard
A defective probe or excess force can cause patient injury or probe damage:
 Observe depth markings and do not apply excessive force when inserting or manipulating
endocavitary probe.
