It is your responsibility to appropriately clean and disinfect your device in accordance with the
device manufacturer's instructions and with your institution's policies for cleaning and
disinfecting of medical devices.
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.
If you encounter poor image quality or transducer problems, see “Troubleshooting” on page
153.
CAUTION
Some ultrasound coupling gels, as well as some solutions for pre-cleaning, disinfecting, and
sterilizing can damage a transducer. Before using a gel or solution on a transducer, see
“Ultrasound Transmission Gels” on page 121 or the “Transducer Care” on page 125 section.
You can also contact your local Philips representative. For contact information, see
