Gels Compatibility
Although most gels will provide suitable acoustic coupling, some gels are
incompatible with certain transducer materials. Products that do not contain
mineral oil are acceptable for use. Never use lotion-based products.
WARNING
For intraoperative applications, use only the Sterile Aquasonic or Sterile
Ultraphonic gel provided with the transducer cover.
CAUTIONS
• Do not use gels that contain mineral oil or lotion. Such products may damage
the transducer and void the warranty.
• Gels listed in this section are recommended because of their chemical
compatibility with product materials.
Some recommended gels include:
• Aquasonic 100
• Aquasonic Clear
• Carbogel-ULT
• ECG Gel (Nicom)
• Nemidon Gel
• Scan
For additional compatibility information, call Philips Ultrasound Customer Service

(outside North America).
