There are three primary areas of transducer misuse:
• Cuts and abrasions on the transducer insulation and lens from sharp
instruments such as scalpels, scissors, and clamps
• Improper disinfection techniques, causing fluid to enter the transducer or
damage transducer materials
• Damage caused by dropping the transducer on a hard surface
To minimize the chance of damage, Philips strongly recommends that you clearly
post stringent protocols for the care of intraoperative transducers, based on
the information provided here.
