Warnings



If you drop or strike a probe against another object, do not use it

until an electrical leakage current measurement test has

demonstrated that the electrical safety has not been compromised.



Do not immerse the entire transducer in liquid to clean it. The

transducer is not watertight and immersion may compromise the

electrical safety features of the probe.

Cautions



Never expose the probes to gas, heat or liquid sterilization

procedures. These methods can permanently damage the probe.



Do not connect or disconnect an active probe during live

scanning; the system must be in freeze mode or turned off to

connect or disconnect a probe.



Carefully follow the “Probes and Consumables” manual

instructions to clean or disinfect a probe.

Biocompatibility and Infection Control

Probes and electrodes intended to be used on intact skin have very limited

probabilities to propagate infections; basic procedures as described in the

“Transducers and Consumables” manual are sufficient for infection control.

Endocavity and transesophageal transducers require specific cleaning and

disinfecting procedures. See the “Transducers and Consumables” manual for

complete details on these procedures.

Repetitive Strain Injury

Musculoskeletal disorders have been reported by the clinical literature

as a result of

repetitive scanning. These musculoskeletal disorders are also described by the term

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). To prevent the risk of RSI, it has been

recommended:



to maintain a balanced position while scanning,



not to grip the transducer with excessive force,



to take work breaks to allow your muscles to relax,



to introduce routine exercises such as gentle passive stretching.

Damage caused by

dropping a probe,

striking it against

another object,

pinching, kinking or

twisting the cable are

not covered under
