Endocavity Transducers
Equipment Operation
Meticulous inspection and correct and careful operation of an endocavity trans-
ducer are imperative to patient safety. The situations listed in this section affect
safe operation as well as the ability to service mechanical problems under the
Philips warranty or service contract. Repairs necessitated by misuse are not cov-
ered and can be very costly, often requiring complete disassembly and rebuilding
of the transducer.
The primary areas of misuse are
• Cuts and abrasions on transducer insulation from sharp instruments such as
scalpels, scissors, and clamps
• Improper disinfection of the transducer, causing fluid to enter the transducer
• Damage caused by dropping the transducer on a hard surface
Electrical Safety
