Before connecting or disconnecting the probe, freeze or turn off the
diagnostic ultrasound system.
Clean and disinfect the transducer before and after each examination.
After the examination, wipe off the ultrasound gel thoroughly.
Otherwise, the ultrasound gel may solidify and the image quality
would be degraded.

exposed to:
Direct sunlight or X-rays
Sudden changes in temperature
Dust
Excessive vibration
Heat generators
Repeated disinfection will eventually damage the probe, please check the
probe's performance periodically.
