Maintenance (Invasive Transducers)
Cautions:
DO NOT drop the transducers.
DO NOT hit the transducers against any surface that can dislodge or damage any of the
transducer components.
DO NOT pinch or kink the transducer cable.
DO NOT use a brush to clean the transducer. (Use a soft cloth.)
DO NOT immerse the transducer scan head past the first seam in any liquid.
DO NOT soak the transducer for extended periods of time.
DO NOT rinse or immerse near the strain relief.
DO NOT use coupling gels and cleaning agents that have not been recommended by
Ultrasonix.
DO NOT use sterilization or disinfection methods that have not been recommended by
Ultrasonix. Severe damage will result. Please contact Ultrasonix if you have any doubt
about sterilization or disinfection methods. Use of non-recommended cleaning agents may
cause damage to the housing and will void transducer warranties.
DO NOT use chemicals such as phenol, benzothonium chloride, pHisohex, benzoyl
peroxide and hydrogen peroxide – commonly found in hospitals or clinics. These
chemicals will damage the transducer.
8.6.4.5
Inspection and Testing (Invasive Transducers)
Inspect the transducers prior to each use:
•
Always ensure the transducers are clean before they are used. There must be no
ultrasound gel (from previous imaging), debris, films, or unusual odors present.
•
Ensure there are no cracks or other damage to the transducers before they are used.
Inspect the transducer surfaces for cracks and feel for cracks with finger tips as well.
Cautions:
DO NOT use transducers if they are found to be cracked, damaged, or broken.
DO NOT use the transducer if transducer cable insulation is damaged, thereby exposing
the wiring.
