If the probe falls to the floor or on any other hard surface, CEASE further use.
Damage caused by impact to electrical insulation may increase the risk of
electrical shock due to damaged.
•
Electrical leakage checks should be routinely performed by qualified hospital
personnel.

This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments and may not
provide adequate protection to radio reception in such environments.
Ultrasound Gels
Ultrasound gel is a type of conductive medium that allows a close bond between the skin and the
probe or transducer, causing the waves to transmit directly to the underlying tissues and the areas
to be imaged. It is formulated to reduce static and act as a coupling agent.
Ultrasonic gel is usually composed of propylene glycol, water and occasionally a dye. The dye is
mostly for aesthetic purposes. The gel is usually clear and thick, and a slightly sticky. This means
the gel doesn't drip or run off after application to the skin. Post procedure, the gel can be wiped
off with ease.
•
Do NOT use non-recommended gels (lubricants). These may damage the probe
and void the warranty.
•
Ultrasound Gels should NOT contain any of the following ingredients, which have
the potential to damage the probe.
-
Olive oil
-
Methyl or ethyl parabens (para hydroxybenzoic acid)
-
Dimethyl silicone
-
Iodine
-
Lotions
-
Lanolin
-
Aloe Vera

During the ultrasound Imaging diagnostic procedure, the examiner shall wear
"patient examination gloves
".
A patient examination gloves are disposable
devices intended for medical purposes and are worn on the examiner's hand or
fingers to prevent contamination between patient and examiner.
