• Wrap the case in plastic material containing air pockets (bubble wrap), and
pack the wrapped case in a cardboard carton.
• To avoid damaging the shaft or steering mechanism of TEE transducers, do
not bend or coil the flexible shaft of the transducer in less than a 0.30-m
(1-ft) diameter circle.
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 314).
• 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.
