thinner.
E8C Preparation
To prepare the E8C for use:

any damage.

tool to clean out the attachment area on the probe head.

3. Clean, then disinfect the probe.
Note: Ensure that protective gloves are worn.
Installing the sheath
To install the sheath:
1. Remove the sheath from its package. Do not unroll the
sheath.
Note: Remember to rinse all sanitary probe sheaths of
powder before placing on the probe. Powder can degrade
the displayed image.
2. Place an adequate amount of ultrasound gel inside the
sheath tip (the gel is between the sheath inner surface and
the probe aperture).
Note: Ensure that only acoustic coupling gel is used for
this purpose.
