Cleaning the probe
The operation process is as follows:
The following cleaning methods shall be taken immediately after each complete test on the
patient to avoid drying of the coupling remaining on the probe, which is not conducive to the

of the probe and to prevent the body and sound head from being corroded by coupling or other
reagents . Before the cleaning or disinfection work begins, the operator should wear
