WARNING
1. Do not immerse the transducer connector. If the cable connector is immersed, do not plug the
connector into the system. Rinse the connector under running water and dry it thoroughly. If
necessary, contact EDAN for service.
2. Prohibit infiltration of any type of liquid into the device or the transducer.
3. Do not immerse the AC adapter and connector of the transducer into solutions. Transducers can
be submerged to, but not including, the strain relief of the transducer array. Do not immerse or
soak any part of a transducer in any cleaning material not listed in the recommended list of
disinfectant.
4. Use the immersion method to disinfect the intra-cavitary transducer.
5. Only non-immersion method can be used with solution of ethanol or isopropanol. The solution
concentration should not exceed the value provided above.
6. The immersion time should not exceed the time that is specified by the disinfectant manufacturer.
7. Patient contact area should be immersed into the solution while using the immersion method, but
should not exceed the depth shown in figure 6-3.
8. Do not sterilize the transducer using techniques such as autoclave, ultraviolet, gamma radiation,
gas, steam, or heat. Severe damage may result.
