12.1.1 Laparoscopic Probe
• Under normal conditions at full acoustic power the temperature of the tip
does not exceed 41°C. Do not use the laparoscopic transducer for a long
time. Otherwise the tip temperature might exceed 41°C and could be
harmful to the patient.
• If the laparoscopic transducer is in malfunction, press the Freeze key to
stop the operation and slowly remove the transducer from the pa-tient. Do
not use the transducer until it has been checked and re-paired.
• Before each use, the outer surface of the portions of laparoscopic
transducer which are intended to be inserted into a patient should be
checked to ensure there are no unintended rough surfaces, sharp edges or
protrusions which may cause harm.
• Before each use or after a change of viewing modes / settings, the operator
should check to ensure the view observed through the lap-aroscopic
transducer provides a live image (rather than a stored one) and has the
correct image orientation.
