Transducer Maintenance
Transducers require proper care, cleaning, and handling. Reasonable care includes inspection,
cleaning, and disinfection or sterilization, as necessary.
Inspect the transducer cable, case, and lens before each use. Check for cracks or other damage
that jeopardizes the integrity of the transducer. Report any damage to your Philips customer
service representative, and discontinue use of the transducer.
For all information on transducer cleaning and disinfection, see the
“Transducer Care” section.
For all information about the use of acoustic coupling gels, see “Ultrasound Transmission Gels”
on page 184 .

Some ultrasound coupling gels, as well as some solutions for precleaning, disinfecting, and
sterilizing can damage a transducer. Before using a gel or solution on a transducer, see
“Ultrasound Transmission Gels” on page 184 or the “Transducer Care” section. You can also
contact your local Philips representative. For contact information, see “Customer Service” on
