3. Wipe or spray the transducer, cable, strain relief, and USB connector with the disinfectant,
following the disinfectant label instructions for temperature, wipe durations, and duration
of disinfectant contact. Ensure that the disinfectant solution does not enter the device or
the connector. Do not allow any type of fluid to enter the connector. Ensure that fluid does
not enter through the strain relief, through the connector, or through the electrical
contacts. Fluid in the connector may void the device warranty.
4. Air dry or towel dry with a sterile cloth according to the instructions on the disinfectant
label.
5. Examine the transducer for damage, such as cracks, splitting, fluid leaks, or sharp edges or
projections. If damage is evident, discontinue use of the transducer and contact your
Philips representative.
High-level Disinfecting of Transducers
High-level disinfection of USB transducers typically uses an immersion method. Before
disinfecting a transducer, read the warnings and cautions here and in “Safety” and “Transducer
Care and Operator Safety” on page 125.
WARNING
Always use protective eyewear and gloves when cleaning and disinfecting any equipment.
CAUTION
When cleaning and disinfecting transducers, do not allow any fluid to enter electrical
connections or metal portions of the USB connector. Damage due to fluids in these areas is
not covered by the warranty or your service contract.
