Performing maintenance procedures not
described in the user guide or service manual
may void the product warranty.
WARNING: Do not modify the M-Turbo
ultrasound system.
Contact SonoSite Technical Support for any
maintenance questions. (See "SonoSite Technical
Support" on page 7.)
WARNING: Disinfectants and cleaning methods
listed are recommended by
SonoSite for compatibility with
product materials, not for biological
effectiveness. Refer to the
disinfectant label instructions for
guidance on disinfection efficacy
and appropriate clinical uses.
The level of disinfection required for
a device is dictated by the type of
tissue it contacts during use. To
avoid infection, ensure that the
disinfectant type and the solution
strength and duration are
appropriate for the equipment. For
information, see the disinfectant
label instructions and the
recommendations of the
Association for Professionals in
Infection Control and Epidemiology
(APIC) and the FDA.
WARNING: To prevent contamination, the use
of sterile transducer sheaths and
sterile coupling gel is
recommended for clinical
applications of an invasive or
surgical nature. Do not apply the
transducer sheath and gel until you
are ready to perform the procedure.
Caution: Some transducer sheaths contain
natural rubber latex and talc, which
can cause allergic reactions in some
individuals. Refer to 21 CFR 801.437,
User labeling for devices that
contain natural rubber.
Cleaning and disinfecting the
