Please note the following important points:
•
The unit is not sealed against jets of water.
Water will penetrate your scanner if it is
hosed down or rinsed under a fast flowing
tap.
•
The unit is NOT corrosion proof and thus
it should not be left wet.Take care to
detach the external battery and ensure
interconnect areas are dry also.
The battery charger and charging carry case
are not waterproof – avoid getting them wet.
Probe
While every attempt has been made to
make the probe as rugged as possible the
crystal array remains vulnerable and should
be protected from knocks. The probe has a
protective sheath covering the length of cable
subject to wear and flexing. Any damage to
this sheath or the rest of the cable should be
repaired before further use to prevent moisture
ingress that will rapidly damage the probe. The
probe should be checked regularly for such
damage.
Cleaning
The scanner, battery and probe can be wiped
down with an antibacterial wet wipe, reducing
the need for drying. This prevents problems
relating to corrosion following wash-down.
The scanner and power pack can also be
cleaned using a cloth, soap and warm
water. Sponging down or even brief, shallow
submersion is less aggressive than rinsing or
hosing down.
Warning: The scanner and power pack must
not be stored damp – severe corrosion will
result. Thoroughly dry the scanner before
storage and charging. Take care to detach the
external power pack and ensure interconnect
areas are dry also.
Gels
Use only gels recommended by IMV imaging.
Do not store the probe in gel.
Storage
Clean and dry the probe head prior to storage
in dry location. Do not store the transducer in
gels or cleaning/disinfecting solutions. This will
lead to premature deterioration of the probe.
Do not expose the transducer to materials
containing the following agents:
•
Acetone
•
Methanol
•
Mineral oil
•
Iodine
•
Freon
•
Industrial cleaners
•
Materials containing
perfumes (lotions, gels, etc.)
8. Care & maintenance
!
Warning:
Never sterilize the transducer with
autoclave, ultraviolet, gamma
radiation, gas, steam or heat sterilization
techniques. Severe damage will result.
