Transducers Clinical Applications and Transducers
116 Lumify Ultrasound System
Philips Healthcare 4535 618 58571_A/795 * MAY 2016
The system limits patient contact temperature to 43°C (109°F), and acoustic output values to
their respective U.S. Food and Drug Administration limits. A power-protection circuit protects
against over-current conditions. If the power monitor protection circuit senses an over-current
condition, then the drive voltage to the transducer is shut off immediately, preventing
overheating of the transducer surface and limiting acoustic output. Validation of the power
protection circuit is done under normal system operation.
Clinical Applications and Transducers
A clinical application, available for one or more transducers, optimizes the system for a specific
application. A clinical application consists of a preset for the transducer.
The clinical applications for the transducers that are compatible with your ultrasound system
are listed here.

Transducer Maintenance
Transducers require proper care, cleaning, and handling. Reasonable care includes inspection,
cleaning, and disinfection or sterilization, as necessary.
Inspect the transducer, cable, and lens before each use. Check for cracks or other damage that
jeopardizes the integrity of the transducer. Report any transducer damage to your Philips
representative, and discontinue use of the transducer.
For all information on transducer cleaning and disinfection, see the “Transducer Care” on page
125 section. For all information about the use of acoustic coupling gels, see “Ultrasound
Transmission Gels” on page 121.
