Proper Use of Probes
In order to extend the service life and to obtain optimum performance of the probe, please operate
as follows:
Inspect power cord, socket and acoustical window of the probe periodically.
Shut down the machine before connecting or disconnecting the probe.
Do not drop the probe onto the floor or collide with hard objects. Otherwise it will be damaged
easily.
When the probe is not used, put it in the probe holder.
Heating the probe is strictly forbidden.
Pulling or bending the power cord of the probe is strictly forbidden; otherwise internal connecting
lines of the power cord may rupture.
Coupling gel can only be used on the head of the probe, and it should be wiped off after use.
Each time after use, clean and disinfect the probe.
The acoustical window and the shell of the probe should be examined frequently.
WARNING
The P3V cannot be used together with high-frequency surgical equipment.
CAUTION
1. Do not disinfect or clean probes under high temperature, and the temperature should
be below 45°C.
2. In order to avoid damaging the device, the disinfection method is limited to regular
maintenance of devices in hospitals. Disinfecting instruments should be cleaned first.
