2. Remove any residue with a water-moistened soft cloth. Do not allow any
solutions to air dry on the transducer.
3. Examine the device and cable for damage such as cracks, splitting, sharp edges,
or projections. If damage is evident, discontinue use of the device and contact
your Philips Ultrasound representative.
Cleaning and Disinfecting Cables and Connectors
The cables and connectors of all transducers can be disinfected using a
recommended wipe or spray disinfectant. To protect the electronics in the
connector, Philips advises use of a Philips Connector Seal when you disinfect
near the connector. Kits are available from CIVCO Medical Solutions (see
"Supplies and Accessories" on page 22).
WARNING
Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning and disinfecting any
equipment.
CAUTIONS
• Attempting to disinfect a cable or connector by using a method other than
the one included here can damage the device and voids the warranty.
• Orient the parts that must remain dry higher than the wet parts until all
parts are dry.
• Do not bend or crimp the gastroscope or cable.
1. Disconnect the device from the system.
2. Push the connector cover, if available, onto the connector to protect against
fluid splashing onto the contacts.
3. Orient the device and the connector so they are both facing up.
CAUTIONS
• Do not allow any type of fluid to enter the connector. 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
