Transesophageal probe safety
Never use excessive force when manipulating the
transesophageal probe. The detailed operator manual
enclosed with the transesophageal probe must be read
carefully.
Electrical Hazard
Probes are driven by electricity, which can injure the patient or
user when exposed to contact with conductive solution.
A damaged probe may increase the risk of electric shock if
conductive solutions come in contact with internal live pads.
Inspect probes often for cracks or openings in the housing and
holes in and around the acoustic lens, or other damage that
could allow moisture to enter. Become familiar with the use and
care precautions described in Chapter 11, "Probes" on
page 535.
CAUTION
Allowing the machine to transmit acoustic output with the probe
not in use (or in its holder) can cause the transducer to build up
heat. Always turn off acoustic output or freeze the image when
not in use. The system's acoustic output remains transmitting
when the user controls are being used.
The system is equipped with an Auto Freeze feature which
disables acoustic output and freezes the image when the
machine is not in use.
CAUTION
Ultrasound transducers are sensitive instruments which can
easily be damaged by rough handling. Take extra care not to
drop transducers and avoid contact with sharp or abrasive
surfaces. A damaged housing, lens or cable can result in patient
injury or serious impairment or operation.
