Safety Precautions 1-9 
The probe sheath contains natural rubber that can cause allergic 
reactions in some individuals. 
Do not use pre-lubricated condoms as a sheath. Lubricant may 
not be compatible with the transducer material and damage may 
result. 
Transducer  damage  may  be  caused  by  inappropriate  gel, 
detergent or cleanser: 
Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing 
alcohol,  bleach,  ammonium  chloride  compounds,  acetone  or 
formaldehyde. 
Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral 
oil or lanolin. 
The  contrast  agent  used  must  comply  with  the  relevant  local 
regulations. 
 
Read the following precautions to prevent the probe from malfunction: 
  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.
