CAUTIONS
• When wiping the distal tip on the S8-3t transducer, never apply excessive
force to the window. Gently wipe the tip with a moist cloth. Do not squeeze
the tip as this may damage the transducer.
• The use of 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on transducers is
restricted. Wipe only the distal tip of the transducer up to 2.5 cm (1 in)
from the strain relief/housing joint with an isopropyl alcohol solution. Do
not use isopropyl alcohol on the strain relief/housing joint, the strain relief,
or the cable. Do not use isopropyl alcohol on TEE transducers, except for
the handle. Isopropyl alcohol can cause damage to these parts of the
transducer. This damage is not covered by the warranty or your service
contract.
• Do not use peracetic acid-based disinfectants on the S8-3t transducer.
NOTE
Transducers can be disinfected using the wipe method only if the product labeling
of the compatible disinfectant you are using indicates it can be used with a wipe
method.
