Protective Transducer Holder

Caution: Transducer holders have variable sizes, both in depth and diameter. To avoid
transducer damage, you must use the holder or insert provided for transducers that have small
or large diameter handles or for specialty transducers, such as endocavity transducers.
After connecting a transducer to the system, place the transducer in the protective holder
attached to the control panel platform. There is also a holder for the coupling agent (gel).
Transducer Holders
The transducer holders on the sides of the control panel are interchangeable and replaceable.
