Convex probe overview
The probes provide high spatial and contrast ultrasound imaging at frequencies of 2.0 MHz to 11.0 MHz. These probes
operate by pulsing sound waves through the body; the returning echoes are used to produce a high-resolution bright-
ness mode, and a real-time display.
9.2
Care and maintenance
The probes that come with the system are designed to be durable and reliable. These precision instruments must be
inspected daily and handled with care. Please observe the following precautions:
Do not drop the transducer onto hard surfaces. This can damage the transducer elements and compromise the electri-
cal safety of the transducer.
Avoid kinking or pinching the transducer cable. Use only approved ultrasonic coupling gels.
Follow the instructions for cleaning and disinfecting that come with each probe.
9.2.1
Inspecting the probes
Before and after each use
, carefully inspect the probe’s lens, cable, casing, and connector. Search for
any damage that would allow liquids to enter the probe. If any damage is suspected, do not use the probe until it has
been inspected and repaired/replaced by an authorised service representative.
NOTE:
Keep a log of all probe maintenance, along with a picture of any probe malfunctions.
