REMOVING THE UBM TRANSDUCER
The UBM probe is capable of utilizing both a 35mHz and 50mHz transducer. This transducer can
be changed/replaced by the operator or removed for cleaning. Refer to the
Cleaning and
Disinfection
section for cleaning instructions.
CAUTION:
The gold surface of the transducer is very fragile. Avoid contact with this
surface .
1.
Gently pivot the transducer connector to one side.
2.
To detach the transducer from the probe, gently grip the sides of the
transducer and unscrew the transducer moving in a counter
-
clockwise motion.
3.
To reattach the transducer to the probe, gently grip the sides of the
transducer and screw on the transducer moving in a clockwise
motion. When screwing on the transducer, it should be inserted far
enough that the black o
-
ring is in complete, firm contact.
NOTE:
Before reattaching the transducer, be sure that the
connector interior for both the probe and transducer are
completely dry (i.e. after cleaning). Also, ensure that the
connector interiors are completely dry before storage.
