Transducer Care and Maintenance
CAUTION
Attempting to disinfect a cable or connector by using a method other than the
one included here can damage the device and will void the warranty. Orient the
parts that must remain dry higher than the wet parts until all parts are dry.
➤ To clean and disinfect cables and connectors
1. Disconnect the device from the system.
2. Orient the device and the connector so they are both facing up (Figure 8-2).
CAUTIONS
• Do not allow any type of fluid to enter the connector. Fluid in the connector
may void the transducer or device warranty.
• Do not use a brush on the connector label.
3. Use a soft cloth lightly dampened in a mild soap or detergent solution to clean
the cable and the connector. A soft-bristled brush can be used to clean only
the metal surfaces of the connector. Do not allow any type of fluid to enter
the device. Be careful that fluid does not enter through the strain relief,
through the connector, through the electrical contacts, or through the areas
surrounding the locking lever shaft and the strain relief. (Figure 8-2).
WARNING
If a premixed solution is used, be sure to observe the solution expiration date.
CAUTIONS
• You can use an alcohol solution for disinfection on the connector only. Ensure
the solution is only 70% isopropyl alcohol or less. Solutions of more than 70%
alcohol can cause product damage (see Figure 8-1).
• Do not use any alcohol or alcohol-based products on the cable.
• Avoid disinfectant contact with the connector label.
4. Mix the disinfection solution compatible with your cable (see Table 8-2)
according to label instructions for solution strength.
5. Wipe or spray the cable and connector with the disinfectant, following disin-
fectant label instructions for wipe durations, solution strengths, and duration
of disinfectant contact with the cable. Ensure that the solution strength and
