CAUTION
1. Do not disinfect or clean transducers under high temperatures. The temperature
should be below 45°C.
2. To avoid damaging the device, the disinfection method is limited to the regular
maintenance of devices in hospitals. Disinfecting instruments should be cleaned first.
3. The coupling gel adapted to the transducer is a medical ultrasound coupling gel. Use
only ultrasound coupling gel that complies with local regulations.
Use of Transducer sheath
NOTE：
The single-use sheath should be used on E612UB transducer. Before cleaning the
transducer, remove the sheath gently and discard it. Put on a new single-use sheath
before using the transducer.
CAUTION
1. Always wear gloves to perform the following steps.
2. To minimize the disease transmission, legally marketed, sterile transducer sheath is
required to used for intra-cavitary procedures.
3. DO NOT use an expired probe sheath. Check whether the term of validity has
expired prior to using probe sheaths.
4. The single-use sheath should comply with the local regulations.
To install transducer sheath:
1. Place an adequate amount of sterile coupling gel on the acoustic window of the probe;
2. Insert the probe into the sheath;
3. Pull the sheath over the probe and cable until the sheath is fully extended;
4. Secure the sheath using the bands or clips supplied with the sheath;
5. Check and eliminate bubbles between the face of the probe and the sheath. Bubbles between
the face of probe and the sheath may affect the ultrasound imaging.
6. Inspect the sheath to ensure that there are no damages (i.e. holes or tears).
