Observe the following in regard to discoloration: The use of Cidex
OPA and Gigasept FF disinfectants may cause discoloration of
transducer housings. Continue to use a transducer if it is discol-
ored due to the use of these specific disinfectants only.
If the system power cord is frayed, split, or shows signs of wear,
contact your Siemens service representative for power cord re-
placement.
A damaged power cord can lead to a safety hazard.
To maintain the safety and functionality of the ultrasound system,
maintenance must be performed every 12 months.
