gel or cleaner:
– DO NOT dip the transducer in the strong polar solution of ethanol,
chloride of lime, ammonium chloride, acetone and formaldehyde.

containing oily medium such as mineral oil or lanoline.
• Read the following precautions to prevent the probe from malfunction:
– Before connecting or disconnecting the probe, freeze or turn off the system.
– Clean and disinfect the probe before and after each examination.
– After the examination, wipe off the ultrasound gel thoroughly. Otherwise, the ultrasound
gel may solidify and the image quality would be degraded.

periodically.
