Maintenance and Safety Inspection
Daily visually check the surface of the probe head, Articulating and
insertion section housing, cable and connector for any crack, scratch
or denaturalization. If you find damage, do not use the probe and
immediately contact a service support.
9.
Storage
For shipping or long-distance transport of the probe, it is strongly
recommended that the carrying case provided with the probe be used.
For shipping, the carrying case should be properly packed and placed
in a suitable cardboard shipping container.
For normal storage in the clinical environment, do not use the
carrying case, as this may cause contamination of the case lining
material.
Do not store the Laparoscopic Ultrasound probe in a drawer, as this
may cause the probe shaft, articulating section, transducer tip or
probe cable to become ”pinched” or otherwise damaged.
For proper storage, a wall rack that securely holds the probe and
protects it from impacts by other objects is recommended.
Do not store the Laparoscopic Ultrasound probe in areas subject to
temperature extremes or direct sunlight.
