11.
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.
NOTE:
Read the following precautions to prevent the probe from malfunction:
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.
After an examination, wipe the ultrasound gel off thoroughly. Failure to do
so may result in the ultrasound gel solidifying and the image quality being
degraded.
To prevent the probe 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. Check the probe's
performance periodically.
