If no bite holes are detected
To identify the transducer as safe, you should include a sticker or certificate that travels with the transducer
that includes the date of the test, the name or other identification of the tester, and the outcome of the test.
If the bite hole test was performed as part of the cleaning process, continue to clean and disinfect the
transducer.
If the transducer fails the test
Do not use the transducer. Do not connect the transducer to an ultrasound system. Contact FUJIFILM
