1. After every patient exam, use a moist cloth to remove the ultrasound transmission gel from
the transducer.
2. Disconnect the transducer from the system, and remove any accessories attached to or
covering the transducer.
3. To remove all organic matter and other residue, use a pre-cleaner or detergent to assist in
removing protein residuals. Enzymatic cleaners must be diluted prior to use per the
manufacturer’s instructions for dilution. Enzymatic cleaners are generically approved for
use.
4. When cleaning the lens, use a blotting motion rather than a wiping motion.
5. To remove remaining particulate and cleaning residue, use cleaning wipes according to the
manufacturer's instructions. You may rinse thoroughly with water up to the immersion
point shown in the figure following the procedure. The transducer may be immersed up to
the immersion point shown in the figure following the procedure. No other part of the
transducer, cable, or USB connector can be soaked or immersed in fluids.
6. Wipe with a dry cloth if necessary. To dry the lens, use a soft cloth and a blotting motion
instead of a wiping motion.
7. Examine the device and cable for damage such as cracks, splitting, sharp edges, or
projections. If damage is evident, discontinue use of the device and contact your Philips
representative.
NOTE
If you use cleaning wipes, it may be unnecessary to rinse the transducer with water. Always
follow the product label recommendations.
