Recommended Maintenance
Terason transducers require very little maintenance. Transducers should be inspected
monthly. If the transducer is dropped, immediately examine it for signs of damage. Check
for these potential problems:
• Cracks or damage to the handle, nose piece, or connector
• Cuts or gouges on lens material
• Swelling of lens material
• Cuts or cracks in the cable
Do not expose transducers to direct heat such as strong sunlight or a local heat source, as
heat can cause crystal aging and loss of sensitivity.
When storing the Terason Ultrasound System in environments between 0º and 50ºC, the
original shipping container must be used.
All components of the Terason Ultrasound System should be checked monthly for these
potential problems:
• Cuts, cracks or damage to the power cables
• Dents or cracks in the electronics housing
Refer to the laptop manual for information on laptop maintenance.
