Ultrasound probes are highly sensitive medical instruments that can easily be damaged by
improper handling. Use care when handling and protect from damage when not in use. DO
NOT use a damaged or defective probe. Failure to follow these precautions can result in
serious injury and equipment damage.
Transducer damage can result from contact with inappropriate coupling or cleaning agents.
Do not soak or saturate transducers with solutions containing alcohol, bleach, ammonium
chloride compounds, hydrogen peroxide or incompatible solutions as shown on the Care-card!
Avoid contact with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral oil or lanolin.
Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens
and seal.
Sporadically, silicone grease can leak in small amounts from the probes' cable bushing. This
leakage is not a failure or harmful to the human body. Silicone grease does not contain any
hazardous substances and is only used to seal the cable bushing. In case of a leakage wipe
the grease with a cloth.
Attention: All probes labeled "IPX7" are watertight up to a minimum of 5 cm above the probes
strain relief. If the probe is not explicitly marked as IPX7, only the scan head is watertight and
the rest of the probe is IPX0 according to IEC 60601-2-37.
