8.6 TRANSDUCER MAINTENANCE
8.6.1 Guidelines
Ultrasonix recommends inspecting the SONIX transducers prior to each use:
•
Ensure the transducers are always clean before they are used. There must be no
ultrasound gel (from previous imaging), any debris, films or unusual odors present.
•
Ensure there are no cracks or other damage to the transducers before they are used.
Inspect the transducer surfaces for cracks and feel for cracks with finger tips as well.
Where endocavity transducers are being used in clinical applications of a semi-critical
nature (e.g., trans-rectal or trans-vaginal), ensure the transducer is covered with the
appropriate STERILE transducer cover/sheath which has received regulatory clearance for
use.
