12.1.5 Transducers Cleaning and Disinfection
Once you turn off the ultrasonic diagnostic system after completing each examination, then
clean and disinfect the transducers as required. When biopsy procedures have been
performed, be sure to sterilize the needle-guided bracket. Fail to do so may result in the
transducer and the needle-guided bracket to becoming sources of infection.Please follow the
instructions in the manual for cleaning.
WARNING:
Never immerse the transducer connector into liquid such
as water or disinfectant. Immersion may cause electrical
shock or malfunction.
CAUTION:
1. When performing cleaning and disinfection
of the transducer to prevent infection, wear
sterile gloves.
2. After disinfection, rinse the transducer thoroughly with sterile
water to remove all chemical residues. Chemical residues on
the transducer may be harmful to the human body.
3. The efficacy of disinfectants and sterilizing solutions is not
guaranteed by MINDRAY. Contact the manufacturers for
information on the activity of the products.
NOTE:
1. After the examination, wipe off the ultrasound gel thoroughly. Otherwise, the
ultrasound gel may solidify and the image quality would be degraded.
2. DO NOT make the transducer to become overheated (more than 55°C) during
cleaning and disinfections. High temperature may cause the transducer to
become deformed or damaged.
