Transducer Storage
Use the appropriate guidelines for storing transducers for transport, and daily and long-term
storage.
Storage for Transport
If a carrying case is provided with your transducer, always use the carrying case to transport the
transducer from one site to another. Follow these guidelines to properly store transducers for
transport:
• Make sure that the transducer is clean and disinfected before placing it in the case to avoid
contaminating the foam that lines the carrying case.
• Place the transducer in the case carefully to prevent kinking of the cable.
• Before closing the lid, make sure no part of the transducer is protruding from the case.
• Wrap the case in plastic material containing air pockets (such as Bubble Wrap material), and
pack the wrapped case in a cardboard carton.
• To avoid damaging the shaft or steering mechanism of TEE transducers, do not bend or coil
the flexible shaft of the transducer in less than a 0.30-m (1-ft) diameter circle.
