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. 
 
NOTE: 
1.  Read the following precautions to prevent the probe from malfunction: 
  Before connecting or disconnecting the probe, freeze or turn off the 
diagnostic ultrasound system. 
  Clean and disinfect the transducer 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. 
To prevent the transducer from being damaged, do not use it where it will be 
exposed to: 
  Direct sunlight or X-rays 
  Sudden changes in temperature 
  Dust 
  Excessive vibration 
  Heat generators 
Repeated disinfection will eventually damage the probe, please check the 
probe's performance periodically.
