Transducer damage can result from contact with inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents:
Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium chloride
compounds or hydrogen peroxide.
Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral oil or lanolin.
Avoid temperatures above 60°C. Under no circumstances should the transducer be subjected to heat
sterilization method. Exposure to temperatures above 60º
C will cause permanent damage to the transducer.
Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and seal. Do not
use a damaged or defective probe.
Coupling gels
DO NOT use unrecommended gels (lubricants). They may damage the probe and void the warranty.
AQUASONIC Gel made by R. P. Kincheloe Company in USA is recommended.
In order to assure optimal transmission of energy between the patient and probe, a conductive gel must be
applied liberally to the patient where scanning will be performed.
CAUTION
Please do not use any gel or other materials which are not provided by CHISON. Un-authorized
gel, lubricants and other materials may corrode probes and other parts of the device, for
example the keyboard. This may reduce the safety and effectiveness of the system and probes,
and may also reduce the life time of the systems and probes. Damages caused by such reason
will not be covered by the warranty.
DO NOT apply gel to the eyes. If there is gel contact to the eye, flush eye thoroughly with water.
Coupling gels should not contain the following ingredients as they are known to cause probe damage:
Methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or any other alcohol-based product.
Mineral oil
Iodine
Lotions
Lanolin
Aloe Vera
Olive Oil
Methyl or Ethyl Parabens (para hydroxybenzoic acid)
Dimethyl silicone
Planned maintenance
The following maintenance plan is suggested for the system and probes to ensure optimum operation and
safety.
Daily:
inspect the probes.
After each use:
clean the probes disinfect the probes.
As necessary:
inspect the probes, clean the probes, and disinfect the probes.
