Basic Probe Care
The system user manuals and various probe handling cards provide a complete description of
probe care, maintenance, cleaning and disinfection. Ensure that you are completely familiar with
the proper care of GE probes.
Ultrasound probes can be easily damaged by improper handling. See the User Manual and probe
care cards for more details. Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury and
equipment damage. Failure to properly handle or maintain a probe may also void its warranty.
Any evidence of wear indicates the probe cannot be used.
Do a visual check of the probe pins and system sockets before plugging in a probe.
TEE and Interoperative probes often have special considerations and individual probe user
manuals. For TEE and Interoperative probes also refer to their separate user manuals.
