Attention
:
1.
When using the probe, wear sterile gloves to prevent infection.
2.
Care should be taken when using the probe normally and it should be handled
gently to avoid mechanical damage to the transducer assembly.
3.
Use a qualified coupling gel to keep the probe dry. If the unqualified coupling gel
is used or the probe surface is not cleaned in time, the lens of the probe surface
may be corroded and damaged. The surface of the probe may be cleaned with a
soft cloth. Do not scrub with hard paper.
4.
The normal ultrasound examination could not have a danger of burns. To avoid
burns, please do not place the probe on the same part of the body for a long time.
Under the premise of meeting diagnosis, try to shorten the inspection time.
5.
Do not use the packing box for storing the probe. If the packing box is used for
storage, it may become a source of infection.
6.
It is required to practice ALARA when operating ultrasound examination.
Minimize the acoustic power without compromising the quality of images.
7.
Clean and disinfect the probe before and after each examination.
8.
Thoroughly clean the coupling gel on the patient or probe surface each time after
ultrasonic operation, or the coupling gel may become hardened on the acoustic
lens of the probe, deteriorating quality of image or become sources of infection.
9.
Repeated disinfection may damage the probe, please check the probe's
performance periodically.
Warning:
1.
Check the probe and connecting cable before and after diagnostic operation. Use
of defective probe may cause electric shock.
2.
Do not strike or hit the probe; using the damaged probe may cause electric shock
to the patient.
3.
Unauthorized disassembly of the probe shall be prohibited as it may cause
electric shock.
4.
For the depth of immersion during disinfection, please refer to disinfection figure
in Chapter 7.1.1 “System cleaning and disinfection”; Failure to disinfect as
required can cause internal short circuits and burnout of the board.
