DEVICE AND PROBE MAINTENANCE
Device is especially designed to work in harsh conditions, where during usage it can get
significantly dirty. The
iScan
ultrasound scanner should be cleaned with a wet cloth soaked with
a delicate detergent solution directly after use. Before wet cleaning the battery pack should be
disconnected from the device, because of its not waterproof housing. While cleaning, the USB
socket should be closed with the cap attached to the housing.
Caution!
There is a special micro-valve implemented inside the USB connector for pressure
compensation. The connector cap shall be slightly loosen while transport or during normal
operation (unscrewed about 0.5 to 1 turn). This way the pressure will automatically compensate
inside the scanner. The cap shall be tightened while washing the scanner or while the device
may be at risk of the direct contact with water.
After wet cleaning the scanner should be wiped dry and packed into the transport case. The USB
port cap shall be loosen prior to placing the scanner inside the case.

protect contacts and sockets from moisture.

It is necessary to protect the head of the probe and the cable against physical
damage.
Remember:
- To put the cable properly. Improper placement and twisting of the cable leads to its
damage.
- To put the probe and the cable properly in the case. Avoid squeezing of the cable by
the case’s cover. It may cut the wire.
