Caution:
Use only Ultrasonix recommended cleaners/disinfectants (
). They have been tested and
determined safe to use on Ultrasonix transducers.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage
and will void transducer warranties.
Note:
Where any transducer (including, but not limited to, an intracavity transducer) is used in a clinical
application of a semi-critical nature (including, but not limited to intraoperative, transrectal, transvaginal,
transesophageal, etc.), ensure the transducer is covered with the appropriate STERILE transducer cover/
sheath which has received regulatory clearance for use.
Caution:
Do not allow cleaning solutions to air dry on the transducer.
