if any damage is found. Contact your representative for servicing asap.
Possible damage types
Cracks on the probe handle (user section).
Cracks on the probe head (applied section).
Scratches on the probe head (acoustic window surface).
Swell of the acoustic window material.
Cracks or wear on the probe cable.
Cracks on the probe connector or any other kinds of visible damage.
Deformed pins or broken pins exist inside the probe connectors.
13.3.2 Probe Connection
Refer to
Section 3.1
for detailed information on probe connection.
13.3.3 Preparation for Scanning
Attention!
• An effective acoustic coupling does not require inordinate
pressure, but it does require coupling gel and patient con-
tact.
• Check the expiration date of the probe sheath and the
coupling gel. Never use expired probe sheath and cou-
pling gel.
• Latex or natural rubber contained inside medical equip-
ments or accessories can cause severe allergic reactions in
some individuals. It’s suggested by FDA that the user should
identify the latex-sensitive patients and be prepared to
treat allergic reactions promptly.
• Only water-soluble coupling gel should be applied to the
probe head surface. Avoid contact with the mineral oil.
13.3.3.1 For Surface Probes
Put an adequate amount of coupling gel either on the probe head (acoustic win-
dow) or the patient skin.
If disease transmission is a concern, use of the sterile probe sheath is highly rec-
ommended. Refer to instructions below to use the probe sheath as a barrier be-
tween the patient and the transducer surface.
13.3.3.2 For intracavitary probes
Note: The probes are provided in non-sterile condition from the manufacturer.
Intracavitary probes should be
cleaned and disinfected both be-
fore and after usage.
1. To prevent disease transmission, wear sterile gloves.
