Daily and Long-Term Storage
Follow these guidelines to protect your transducer:
• Always store transducers in the transducer holders on the side of your
system or on a securely mounted wall rack when you are not using them.
• Ensure the transducer holders are clean before storing transducers (see
"Disinfecting System Surfaces" on page 333).
• Avoid storing transducers in areas of temperature extremes or in direct
sunlight.
• Store transducers separately from other instruments to avoid inadvertent
transducer damage.
• When storing transducers, use the cable-management clips to secure the
transducer cable.
• Before storing transducers, make sure they are thoroughly dry.
• For TEE transducers, be sure the distal tip is straight and protected before
storing the transducer.
• Never store a TEE transducer in the carrying case, except to transport it.
