6. When operating the transducer, make sure that proper orientation is
maintained to avoid interpretation confusion.
NOTES
• To achieve good acoustic contact, make sure that the imaging surface is
moist.
• Imaging improves with adequate coupling between the patient surface and
the transducer-cover surface. Sterile water is a good acoustic-coupling
agent during surgery.
Disposable Drapes
During studies in which you believe contamination of the ultrasound system can
occur, Philips recommends that you take universal precautions and cover the
system with a disposable drape. Consult your hospital’s rules regarding equipment
use in the presence of infectious disease.

Electrical Safety and Intraoperative Transducers
All Philips ultrasound systems and transducers comply with common medical
device electrical safety standards.
The L15-7io transducer is classified as a Type CF isolated patient-applied part,
as described in IEC 60601-1. There are no exposed conductive surfaces on the
transducer head. To ensure safe operation of this transducer, read the cautions
and warnings in the "Safety" section, especially those that address electrosurgical
