CAUTION
Using non-recommended disinfectants, using incorrect solution strengths, or immersing a
transducer deeper or longer than recommended can damage or discolor the transducer and
voids the transducer warranty.
CAUTION
Use only liquid solutions to sterilize transducers. Using autoclave, gas (EtO), or other
methods not approved by Philips will damage your transducer and void your warranty.
CAUTION
Do not soak the transducer for extended periods of time. Limit the time and depth that
transducers are soaked in disinfectant solution to the minimum time recommended by the
disinfectant manufacturer.
CAUTION
System surfaces and transducers are resistant to ultrasound gel, alcohol, and disinfectants,
but if you use those substances, you must wipe them off to prevent permanent damage.
Latex Product Alert
Philips ultrasound systems and transducers do not contain natural rubber latex that contacts
humans. Natural rubber latex is not used on any ultrasound transducer, including transthoracic
and intraoperative transducers.
